Wow! Booking this tour was the best decision! We had an amazing guide who told us many interesting things about Iceland. Canyon and ice cave hike were highlights of our two day trip. 100% recommended.
The two day trip was nothing short of amazing. We loved every second! Firstly, our guide was fun, friendly and knowledgable. Being a small group, he was able to still keep it personable for each guest. The bus was super comfortable - lots of room to stretch out and quite a bit of storage too. We were blessed with some fantastic weather (albeit a little cold…) which made for some very scenic drives. We were entertained the entire way, and not once were we bored of some of the long-ish drives. We were able to tick off the majority of our bucket list places in Iceland on this tour. The glacier hike was out of this world!
The 2-day trip I embarked on was an absolutely extraordinary experience, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. Throughout the journey, we had the privilege of witnessing numerous magnificent waterfalls and glaciers, adding to the awe-inspiring nature of the adventure. Our guide proved to be an invaluable asset, consistently offering us an effective travel route that ensured we made the most of our time, even when faced with challenging weather conditions. He skillfully adjusted the itinerary, adeptly avoiding crowded tourist groups and adverse weather, which allowed us to appreciate the beauty of Iceland without unnecessary disruptions. Or guides expertise extended beyond navigating the terrain; he also imparted his profound knowledge of both the natural wonders and the rich historical heritage of Iceland. The tour was such a great and fruitful adventure.

Sometimes they have to be cancelled at short notice due to strong winds or warm, wet weather which can create dangerous conditions.

- Is the Glacier Hike difficult?The glacier hike is aimed for first timers. It is however good to not that the ice can be steep and uneven in sections. If you struggle with walking for one hour at a good pace or don’t enjoy walking on uneven and sloped ground, then the glacier hike may not be for you. Thankfully, you can opt for more tranquil options on this tour. The steepest sections involve stair like features and slopes.

The hike requires a moderate fitness level AND full mobility. Each guide on the trip will make the final decision at the time of the hike. If they refuse to let you on the ice, please know it is purely for the safety of not just you, but also for the rest of the group.
