A very interesting day-long glacier trek.

The guide who took us was bjorn, a very patient and interesting guide who made the whole day group really fun! And the glacier hike. I didn't wear gloves, and he was very kind to help me, and a warm reminder. It was very cold up there.

The best service

Beate was an incredibly kind and patient guide, always full of enthusiasm. Thanks to her, we had such a joyful and unforgettable hiking experience. Bjorn, our driver, was warm and humorous, sharing a wealth of fascinating facts about Iceland throughout the journey. The South Coast and the glacier hike were absolutely worth the trip—the scenery was breathtaking and spectacular. Highly recommend!

Fabulous experience

Just go. Our glacier group had the entire age range: from young to old. Our glacier guide Mika trained us well and accompanied us well. Our driver Sergei made stops at two waterfalls and the black sands beach, giving us enough time (you now, considering time limits). Both guides were friendly and attentive to personal needs. Superb experience!
