"Great experience - very knowledgable guide"

Experience was excellent. Best part was our guide who clearly loves his job and has a lot of info. Felt very safe when he was leading us through glacier and hiking. Extremely competent and well trained. Only point to share - website said boots were available to rent and I called to confirm this in advance. However upon arrival I was told boots weren't available in all sizes and that they only had a couple pairs. It just so happened that we could rustle up a pair that fit ok (though not perfect) but that was sheer luck and could have been a huge problem ruining my whole experience. Again it worked out and it was a great experience but a word to the wise is you should bring your own boots.

"Worth every inch of the Experience!"

We were there on a typical Iceland day with showers and sunshine. But our guide Margaret kept us going. The weather absolutely didn't effect our experience on the glacier, even though it was raining for a while. Margert was always so energetic and kept us entertained, while making sure we are all safe and steady on the Blue Ice. Just loved the whole experience and if we ever come back to Ice, we will definitely do this again. Thank you guys for giving us an experience of a lifetime!

We spent a long time on the ice.Very fun! Downside: Not a fan of the guide's jokes teasing Chinese people .I am from Taiwan.

"Beyond Amazing Experience!"

My fiancé and I were in Iceland to celebrate our engagement. This was by far our favorite part of the trip. We were led by "Stefan" and had an amazing time exploring the glacier, as well as the added detours he showed us during our trip to the glacial lagoon. An amazing experience, and well worth a trip to Iceland for. We are looking forward to going back soon.

"Great Glacier Tour"

This tour was well worth the money. They had boots to rent which came in handy. Our guide Hendrick was great. I would recommend this tour.

"Very knowledgeable and safe."

We had booked this tour well in advance. Due to bad weather, we had to cut the glacier hike a little short (for which we received a partial refund). Despite that fact, the guides took us out on a great tour and were very knowledgeable. They had a great sense of humor and were very passionate about the ecology of the glacier and the island.

This company is great and can be trusted to get you on and off the glacier safely!
