Incredible experience - An absolutely incredible experience! Walking on a glacier was impressive enough, but discovering the ice caves made this adventure even more magical. The ice formations are beautiful and you feel really small in front of nature. Our guide Rori was very professional, passionate and attentive to safety, while taking the time to explain the formation of the glacier and ice caves. This made the experience even more interesting. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to experience something unique and discover the glacier from the inside. An unforgettable moment!

Good experience - We had a good time on our glacier hike with Rory. The weather was great, and Rory was professional and kind. He explained the safety instructions clearly and shared how the glacier has changed over the last few years. The 6-hour tour was fun and not as tiring as we expected. The actual walking time wasn't too long because we spent a lot of time stopping to explore the ice caves.

The perfect blue ice cave trip - This Blue Ice Cave experience is truly worth a lifetime! The blue crystals inside the ice caves are particularly dreamy in the light of the sun, and they're all big chunks at hand. The tour guide was very professional and explained a lot about the formation of glaciers and ice caves, as well as a constant reminder of safety. The whole trip was arranged reasonably, not too rushed and the experience was good. Very recommended for friends who come to Iceland for a trip!

Ice Cave Tour - Our tour with Rory was perfect! We booked last minute and were the only ones there so we ended up getting a private tour. Rory was super kind and informative and even lent us rain pants for free because it was raining. The hike was incredible and the ice caves and glacier was astounding. Would recommend this hike and guide over any of the overbooked and crowded ones in the area.

Glacier & Ice Cave Tour - Our glacier & ice cave tour with Rory exceeded expectations. Rory was incredibly accommodating and supportive throughout the outing. For someone who’s new to hiking, the incline was challenging, but he offered short breaks and lent me his hiking pole, which made a big difference. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the experience provided memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend Rory and this tour for anyone seeking an unforgettable glacier adventure. - **Duration & Group Size**: A six-hour tour in a small group of six people. - **Pricing Note**: Pricing depends on the time of year and which tour is selected.
