Traveler reviews
Great day in one spot
One hour two person kayak with Daniel delivered get experience that included photos and up close iceberg views. Long wait between kayak and hike (2 hours), which allowed for lunch and walk to diamond beach. 30 minute van ride to glacier before hour plus hike with Thor. A blue cave was accessible, although small, but Thor took us to “the top” for great views and pics. He also provided extensive information about the glacier.
Great experience
We didn't have much luck with the weather. The kayak excursion is beautiful; it is totally enjoyable. I have never done anything like it. The glacier hike is more educational and less "adventurous" than the ones I have done in other places in the world. I liked it a lot. The only drawback is that they indicate that both activities can be done on separate days, and when you do so, they raise the price. It is no longer a combo. Their website does not explain it well, and they do not take responsibility for the problem. Aside from that management issue, everything was fine; the guides were nice and trustworthy, as was the equipment provided.
Exceptional tour with great views
We did both the kayak and glacier hike tours. The kayak tour of icebergs in the lagoon were a beautiful sight to be up close. It was relaxing! The glacier hike was amazing. Our guide Þóris was exceptional! His knowledge and love of the glacier and natural landscape around was great to learn. The hike was fairly easy and very different from the other glacier hikes. We loved it! They did give you 1.5 hrs in between both to eat(food and bathrooms avail) as well as a walk across the street to Diamond beach. Great day!
Amazing Experience-BOOK THIS ONE!!!
We HIGHLY recommend this combo! We were lucky enough to book the combo with wonderful Kayaking Guides, Beth and Orestis; along with an outstanding Glacier Guide, Aron (a native Icelander). The gear provided for both experiences was perfect. We were warm, dry, and comfortable (even though it rained on us for a portion of the kayaking tour). What an unforgettable and spectacular day--from being on the water with beautiful icebergs to breathtaking views at the top of the glacier. Just WOW!
Great Experience
The kayaking was beautiful and the guide knowledgeable. Hiking was fantastic and AJ the best. Great experience!
