very good experience - A fantastic experience, 100% recommended. Omar was our guide and was very friendly and close. He explained everything perfectly and taught us everything we needed to know about the glacier, the ice cave, and things about Iceland. It's clear he has experience with snowmobiles.

Great eccursion - Interesting excursion. Start at Husafell activity centre where you can get some food and drink (and toilets). Big bus takes you to the starting point where you kitted out with your gear if you go onto the snowmobile. Last stop for toilets flr a while😁 a special big truck takes you onto the glacier where you put on crampons to explore the tunnels with your guide. Surreal to be inside the glacier. We then went to the snowmobiles where unfortunately i started feeling really unwell and did not want to chance passing out during the drive, so my partner went by himself. My partner really enjoyed the drive (just a shame some people feel the need to hold everyone up because they want to record themselves on the snowmobiles and do their own thing, even after the guide asking them to drive single file etc several times). Great excursion though that takes about 4 hours. The guide will take your phone to take pictures of you on the snowmobile if you want.

Exhilarating and Educational - Amazing experience! Snowmobiling on a Glacier was truly exhilarating. The views from atop of the glacier were spectacular! After the snowmobile ride we entered the Glacier and learned about its past and future. Omar was an amazing tour guide both knowldgeable and jovial, he ensured our entire group enjoyed the experience.! Highly recommend this combo tour!

Amazing tour into the glacier! - Great trip from Húsafell. Our two tour guides, Omar and “Joe” where amazing! Omar was the one with us into the glacier and was great and they both had good humour! As an only 2 Icelandic people on the tour (except the tour guides) it was amazing and recommend it 100%!

Quintessential Iceland Experience w/ Exceptional Guide - Our very knowledgeably guide, Karen, was an outstanding tour leader while inside and outside the glacier. The experience includes quite a bit of travel time to and from the site of the tunnel, so be prepared to spend every bit of 4-5 hours taking in the magically diverse scenery.

Warm welcome and guides for a freezing cold tour - The tour guides Dissa and Ryan were friendly, welcoming and answered all our questions. The guides helped us take pictures and kept us warm on the truck journey. The tour was educational and exciting. We had some time outside the caves for pictures and plenty of time in the ice caves too.
