The tour was amazing. We were provided with any gear that we needed to make sure we stayed safe and dry. The guide, Joe, was very knowledgeable and shared a great deal of information. He was also funny.
The road to the glacier is very bumpy so be prepared.
The length of the tour was excellent.

Nice ride from activity center to base camp. Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Base camp to tunnel ride was smooth. They provide necessary wearing required.

Interesting cave. Transportation was problematic and confusing. The base camp was very confusing and crowded.

Our glacier trip was excellent with very knowledgeable hosts, great huge off-road vehicles and a beautiful view inside the life of a glacier. And it snowed on us in August at the top of the glacier. Highly recommend!

This was a great experience! It was cold - I didn't dress as warmly as I should have, but they provided waterproof boots that went on over my tennis shoes. It was an amazing experience! The tour guide shared a lot of folklore stories and details about Iceland. It was a great tour. I do recommend dressing warm - it is a glacier!

Very well organized-great explanation of the guides. Highly recommend if you head to the north west of Iceland.

Absolutely stunning 1.5 hr drive from Reykjavik to the activity center. The ride to the base camp is on a heavy duty bus. The ride from the base camp to the cave is on a tundra style vehicle. I wore a long sleeve tee shirt, a heavy flannel shirt and an insulated jacket, blue jeans and sturdy shoes. They provide rain jackets (optional) waterproof boots that fit right over my size 12 shoes (required) and crampons for traction at the cave (also required). I started to get chilled by the end of the 45 min tour. My hands got cold but gloves would be useless because you will be taking lots of pictures.
Tour guides were great. Lots of glacier info. And lots of local Icelandic history and traditions. Btw some of the male staff look like Vikings.
On the way back a must see is the thermal feature at Krauma spa. It’s right at the parking lot and free to observe. And the tomato soup sold next to the green houses is the best ever.

Great experience! Our guide, Emma, was humorous and shared history and folklore about Iceland. 5 stars for Emma. Definitely glad we went into the glacier!

We loved everything about it. Once in a lifetime experience. Our tour guide was amazing (Emma). A must do in Iceland.

This was a super "cool" excursion! Just getting to the glacier was an adventure! Emma and Oli were amazing! The best part was when they shut off the lights inside and Oli sang an icelandic lullaby! We highly recommend!! David got it there and back safely!!

The experience would have been 5 stars if the windows on the bus were clean and you could see the sights the guide was talking about.

Super fun trip into the glacier. Omar and Ryan were great guides explaining about glaciers, Iceland history and Icelandic folk tales!

Had a good trip starting from their base which was about an hours drive from Reykjavik. A bus took us on a short drive to the base of the glacier where we transferred over to a high clearance truck which took us up to the cave entrance which was in complete whiteout. A very interesting experience in the cave where supplied crampons were worn as was too slippery for regular hiking shoes. An amazing tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended but don’t forget the winter clothing even in their summertime.

The ride from Husafell was interesting and the glacier was really great and educational. Our guide was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. My partner and I really enjoyed the whole experience.

Great adventure and great guides!
My family thoroughly enjoyed this, it was slightly disappointing only half there tunnel was open but honestly I’m still glad we did it!

Very good - if you visit Iceland- you Must Go to a glacier and also into 😉
Very interesting and good guys

A unique experience. Stunning from the Klaki base camp to the glacier itself. And even more impressive to enter the glacier and be able to walk inside it.
With very friendly guides who gave very interesting information about the glacier and about Icelandic culture and folklore.
The only but: they didn't give much room to make photos and videos on the glacier
