We enjoyed the hike very much. Our guide (5Aug, 12 noon tour) is very humorous & professional. Due to my knee issues, he has especially taken care of me and encourage me to go on and don't give up. I would recommend the tour with him to all my love ones &.friends coming to iceland.

Victoria was a great guide that day. She was really good at giving us a full experience on the glacier. We were lucky enough during this season to enter a start of an ice cave.

Vatmajokull glacier hike summer'23

Chetan_G, Jul 2023

As amazing as the vatmajokull glacier is; the experience was made ven more special bu our guide. He took his time and was very patient with my kids and helped them out during the glacier hike. Very knowledgeable about the area & provided useful insights about icelandic history and the volcanoes. The "superjeep" is something you have to see to understand the scale of these things! And this operator has one of a kind custom rigs (only 4 exist in the world and they all were constructed for them. Awesome experience, must do and highly recommend them as they are a smaller operators for a more personalized small group trip.
