This was my first time experiencing a glacier walk, and it was truly unique — highly recommended! Our guide Mihai was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about the glacier along the way. He chose an easy and comfortable route for everyone, took great care of those who weren’t as strong, and he’s also an excellent photographer!

I highly recommended this company with local roots and great guides. This was my third glacier hike with Glacier Adventure, the first in 2021 and the second in 2022. All excellent!

Wow what an incredible experience...so pleased we booked this! Special shout out to Mihai our guide who looked after us. He was super informative - we learnt so much in the time together. He also made it fun and enjoyable. The experience in itself was very well organised and we fitted so much into the time! Stunning views...so lucky! Will be shouting out about this forever! Thanks again...❤️

Great experience, a professional and caring guide, it’s just the weather was too rainy on this day. Be dressed accordingly as on top of the ice glacier it can be extremely wet and cold 🙃

We had a 5-hour tour on this glacier in a small group – perfectly organized and with the super friendly Katharina as our guide. Her explanations were short, clear, and easy to understand, just right for the activity. The introduction to ice climbing was definitely the highlight! We even enter a small ice cave. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an adventure.

We went for the walking with Isa and it was fantastic. The guide was very knowledgeable and competent, yet also cordial and friendly. A unique and highly recommended experience.

We had such an amazing time with Glacier Adventure on the Glacier Walk at Vatnajökull Glacier. Walking on the ice, seeing the glacier formations up close, and being surrounded by such stunning views was just incredible. Everything was super well organized and we always felt safe. A big shoutout to our guide, Cristina – she was fantastic! Friendly and really knowledgeable, she made the whole experience even more special. I’d totally recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland!

We had a tour with Kristyna. The guide is a passionate girl that makes you enjoy this interesting tour. She brings enthusiasm and you feel the passion and the competence she has. The experience is unique. It seems easy at the end, but when you are on the ice and you listen to her and try to live all that the time runs in a moment, you don’t feel the cold ( at the end you can also enjoy a hot chocolate …) and do not perceive and danger. It is a pleasure to see people like Kristyna that love what they do, respect the customers and give the proper attention and care. Thanks for the great experience we had there.
