An essential activity in Iceland!

Thank you so much to Björk and Fannar for helping us discover the ice caves. We were lucky to be in a small group for the expedition, and we benefited from a personalized experience during which our great guides were not stingy with explanations and comments. Coming with my sister and my 78-year-old grandma, count on about forty minutes of walking before reaching the glacier, a journey during which you can admire the view... extraordinary. Thank you both!

We hope the breathtaking scenery and unforgettable memories will stay with you for years to come! It was a pleasure having you along, and we hope to welcome you back to Iceland someday!
