Glacier Hike from Skaftafell - Extra Small Group

The glacier was incredible and the small group size was nice. The guide Franziska was super knowledgeable and patient. Had a great experience

This tour was the definition of a once in a lifetime experience. Luckily for us, it had rained the previous days so when we hiked the glacier it was blue. Absolutely picturesque. This was my favorite activity I did while in Iceland. I would recommend it to everyone. I will say it’s a bit of an incline so be prepared to walk that. And I would also suggest going as early as possible to avoid most of the crowds.

I spent quite a bit of time researching various tours before booking, and I’m so happy that I did! The guide was very nice and entertaining, and small size of the group made a lot of difference. On our way back, I was watching with awe that other groups had dozens of people in them - thank you, but no thank you!

The small tour was a fantastic experience. Katarina was the best guide, super fun, energetic, informative. She made sure we were all safe, but also enjoyed the sites. Our favorite part was drinking the glacier water/push up challenge. Such a wonderful experience, I would highly recommend this tour when you are in Iceland!

Outstanding experience and would strongly recommend to anyone of reasonable fitness traveling through Southern Iceland. Our guide, Oddur, was experienced and capable. He interacted well with all members of the small group, and he clearly enjoyed being out on the glacier. The hike itself was unique and gorgeous, allowing an up-close look at the fascinating glacial terrain. The logistics of an extra small group gave us the opportunity to move more expediently and therefore see more “secret spots” than one might in a larger group. Five stars!

Fantastic trip, Katarina was a wealth of knowledge and made us feel safe and good. The best part was the amazing sights you get to experience!

Definitely recommend! There was only one other person on my tour so a total of 4ppl. The guide Katerina(?) drove us up close to the bottom of the glacier, other big tour buses parked outside at the parking lot which is ~30min walk. From the bottom of the glacier we then hiked ~10min from the sand covered glacier to where we were on real ice. Katerina then helped us put on crampons and we started the tour! Sun was out that day so we didn't feel cold at all until we reached the highest point for the tour. We stopped multiple times for pictures and got a taste of the real glacier water at one point. Best tour ever!!

This is the best company around, I did the 9am tour so we were the first ones on the glacier and our guide was great!

If you're going to choose a tour operator choose this one. The hike that they provide is on one of the most scenic glaciers, and the extra small group is a must for such hikes (based on all of my extensive research). But beyond this, the tour operators are INCREDIBLY kind and accommodating. We had some mishaps that messed up our itinerary but the operators were amazing and flexible. Iceland roadtrips can be packed, and stressful with uncertainty of timing and sometimes confusing routes. Booking tours with people as kind as this is a MUST to help alleviate said stress. I never write reviews, but if you do book a tour coming to Iceland this should be the one!

What an experience! Definitely recommend this hike with the guides. You should dress warmly. They provide equipment. Insightful guides tell you about the glaciers. I will never forget this hike :) so beautiful !!!!!!
