Traveler reviews
Highly recommended experience!
My friend and I decided to do an excursion last minute and the glacier tour was a perfect choice in terms of value and time. We were heading to Vik and met them at the base of the glacier. I was a bit nervous because I had not packed to do an excursion like this, but I was able to rent hiking boots and waterproof pants, which was great. They provide a helmet, crampons, and an ice pick. They also have you in a harness in case of any emergencies. Our tour guides, Mika and Beda, were great. We had a lot of fun on the tour with Beda, and it was fascinating to be on the glacier. I had heard how dangerous glaciers could be if you go unguided. I never felt unsafe on the tour, but it was fascinating to see the potential for danger in the crevasses and unexpectedly deep water pits. The hike to the glacier was beautiful, but unfortunate, because it highlighted how much it had receded. Highly recommend this experience.
