Several very different excursions, from a 2-hour glacier walk to a full day, from a roped initiation with ice axe and crampons on Svínafellsjökull to the ascent of Hvannadalshnúkur (10 to 15-hour walk) with breathtaking views. There's something for everyone, and snowmobiling is also available. Excursions can be made conveniently from Reykjavik. No technical difficulties, but a good level of fitness is required.

Wir hatten 3,5 Stunden auf dem Gletscher, mit kompetenter und extrem netter Betreuung, die auf die Stärken und Schwächen der Teilnehmenden eingegangen ist. Es war eine spontane Entscheidung, trotzdem hatten wir eine wunderbare Tour mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht und haben eine großartigen Erfahrung gemacht.
Würden es jedem jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

Superb experience on the glacier thanks to the guides involved: from Ágúst who carried us around with the most friendly and professional approach, to the support team who made the caves accessible. We chose the 5 hours tour and it was definitely worth it as we were able to access three caves. Ágúst was also incredibly prepared on a number of topics related the glacier and the nature surrounding us: he topped of the experience. THANKS GUYS!

Booked in advance, arrived there as a group of 6, one of which was my pregnant wife. Everything went well until the guide started to get equipment ready for all of us and spotted my wifes belly. She asked her did she have a big breakfast!? Not sure was that ment to be funny or what but it was just plain retarded. Nevermind the stupid rudeness of the guide but my wife did explain her situation and the result of that was that she cant come. Appearantltly if you're more than 3months pregnant you cant come. We'll get a refund in about 2 weeks (also dumb to wait that long, if they can charge a card in a second they should refund in less than 2 weeks).
Their website doesnt state that information. We only came because my wife wanted to come.

Everyone else went on the glacier hike and had a nice time (thats why this rating is very generous with more than 1 star).
Oh, and the hike is super easy, its ridiculous they didnt allow us to go.

So stupid. Costs a lot. Update the fraking website with this policy to avoid this confusion.
Educate your guides about rudeness. Dont be lazy dumba**es. Very dumb experience overall.

We booked for 10am, arrived at the parking at 9:45 then lost of time to find their place due to unclear information.

Finally we arrived at 10am, ok we were late a little bit(On the voucher it’s said 20 minutes prior…). but the only solution was to wait for the afternoon trip.

Impossible to get any refund, impossible to join another trip (maybe operated by the same or another agency?) with an extra fee.

The guide of the afternoon trip was nice.
