The main focus of this tour is the glacier hike. We did not learn much about the waterfalls and black beach, maybe because there is nothing very interesting about them, though they look good. Black beach restaurant is quite good. The glacier hike is fun, easy, and safe. The guide for the hike is experienced and humorous.

Gylfi was incredible on the glacier, I felt safe and well cared for. However, he never told us his name until he asked for us to review his tour. He was a bus driver that came to life on the glacier. Nice to have a small group, but the seat belt made me feel like I was in a straight jacket!

This was the best tour we did while visiting Iceland! Unbelievably beautiful scenery and a very knowledgeable tour guide. Every stop was more and more breathtaking. Glacier hike was unreal, the most gorgeous place I’ve ever been. The glacier hike looks more challenging than it was, tour guides make sure you have all the right safety gear and feel prepared before you begin the hike.

We hebben genoten van de tour. Natuurlijk van de twee grote watervallen, maar vooral ook van de gletsjerwandeling onder leiding van Ben. Hij voerde ons in twee en half uur langs blauwe gletsjerspleten, witte ijsvlaktes, ijspegels en kleine sneeuwpaadjes. Het was rustig weer en al met al een unieke ervaring!!
