This is THE glacier trip to try!!
Edith_C, Apr 2024
Absolutely incredible experience exploring the ice caves and glaciers with Holt and Diego as our guides. Their professionalism, knowledge, and passion made this tour unforgettable. They made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire adventure. The sights were absolutely breathtaking, and the memories we made are irreplaceable. A huge thank you to Holt and Diego for their amazing job and wonderful personalities. If you’re looking for an adventure of a lifetime, I highly recommend this tour. 5 stars aren’t enough to express the gratitude and awe we felt during our journey. Thank you!!!
One of the best tours of my 20+ years of travelling

This was one of the best tours of my life so far. I've been to 30+ countries and done dozens of tours everywhere, but this is right up there with the best ones, The locations we visited were out of this world, the guides (David and Holt) were spectacular in every way, and when the tour finished, our hearts were filled with joy from the great day we had. The 3 locations we visited (big cave plus 2 smaller ice "holes" / caves) were just out of this world. The pace of tour was perfect, no rushing, all safety communication was clear and easy to understand, informational conversations were super interesting and full of fun facts and both guides were friendly in a very natural and casual way. Holt took some great pictures of us also ;) Both him and David have great chemistry and it also transpires into the tour itself. Such a pleasure. I will definitely use this company again next time and I can highly recommend it! Shout out to David and Holt for providing us such a fantastic day! (Me, my wife and our 17 year old daughter)
Incredible tour!

Iga was an incredible guide. Because everyone in our group followed directions, we were able to optimize our experience. Oh, and the tour was extended just because our guide wanted to show us as much as possible. Safety was the #1 priority closely followed by our enjoyment. Highly recommend Ice Explorers.
