We did the Glacier Hike and Cave Tour with Tourguides Andrea on the 21st of April. Andrea is a brilliant tour guide who knows a lot. We had an amazing time with her. Pace was perfect and the tour felt super personal. The day itself was the best day we spent in Iceland

We had a wonderful, Icelander guide, Roggi, who gave us the option to do a shorter or a longer Glacier hike. We were a small group of 8 people, and we all opted for the longer route. We were off the beaten track, away from all the other tours and truly experienced something unique. The landscape was incredible and the places Roggi took us to, literally took our breath away. Thoroughly recommend "Glacier Adventures"... and I urge you to do the longer Glacier hike and not just the ice caves - it will not disappoint!I can't say enough great things about Haukur, our guide and the founder of Glacier Adventure. My partner and I visited Iceland last week for our engagement trip, and, unbeknownst to me, Haukur had agreed to assist my partner with her proposal plan for me.

I can't say enough great things about Haukur, our guide and the founder of Glacier Adventure. My partner and I visited Iceland last week for our engagement trip, and, unbeknownst to me, Haukur had agreed to assist my partner with her proposal plan for me. Haukur was calming, kind, and so patient. He even took photos of the moment she proposed to me so that we have those forever! I do not hike, and my partner maybe didn't realize what she'd signed us up for :) It was absolutely worth it to experience the blue ice cave and have that special memory forever. We were so lucky to have Haukur as our guide as he was knowledgeable and we felt safe with his as our leader. The ride to the glacier walk starting point is a bumpy one that you can't make in a regular car, but Haukur provided a great experience in the superbus that we rode in to get there, expertly maneuvering some difficult terrain. Thank you, Haukur, for making this experience one we'll never forget!Beautiful tour with many smaller caves, which were much beautifuler than the classic blue cave. Our guide was very confident and we felt very secure

This tour was a highlight of our 10-day trip to Iceland. I cannot say enough positive about our guide, Mike, and how the tour was run. We had a small group of 10-12 people and all the necessary safety gear was provided. Mike was very experienced and knowledgeable -- my husband and I both thought very highly of the glacier walk. And we had the added bonus of going into an ice cave briefly that was stunning. Highly recommend the company and this tour, as well as this part of the island!
