Amazing! Worth every

Brilliant experience, so glad we did it. Per, our guide was funny and knowledgable and read the group so well, to ensure everyone enjoyed it. Reasonable level of fitness / mobility needed, but nothing too strenuous. The three hours went so quickly!

Amazing Glacier hike

We went on a 3 hour glacier hike with Annie. She was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We would highly recommend this tour. The views were spectacular and it was accessible and interestingly for all the family (our kids are 10 and 12).

Absolutely worth it

Absolutely fantastic. Such a unique experience. The guide was great, informative and really added to the experience. The glacier itself was such an incredible experience. The group was small and while there were others in the glacier we were alone and just able to enjoy the experience without it feeling touristy.
