Once In A Lifetime Opportunity! - We originally booked the zip line tour, but due to recent weather concerns, Ice Pic Journeys generously offered us a two cave and ice hike adventure instead. While initially disappointed, the tour ended up being the highlight of our Iceland trip thus far! Julien was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and he went above and beyond to make our experience truly one of a kind! He also knew where the best spots were for breathtaking views and forever cherished photographs. With the constant changes with the glacier, it literally was a once in a lifetime moment! Highest recommendations!

Great experience! Great Guide! - This was such a fun and informative experience! Our guide, Claudia, really made the trip! She was hilariously funny and incredibly informative. Even though were are both a bit afraid of heights, she showed us all of the safety measures and helped is feel confident and comfortable. With that right mindset, we really enjoyed it!
She also took amazing pictures for us!

Best tour with Zuzana - The glacier walk and zip line tour was absolutely amazing !
Our guide Zuzana was the best and she was very informative
Walking on the glacier, going in ice caves and doing the zip line was one of the best experience I had in Iceland and on top of that some professional pictures are included in the package
I highly recommend this tour ☺️ thank you again Zuzana

One time in a life experience - My daughter of 12 and I went on the glacier walk with zipline adventure and were so lucky. It was just the two of us and Zuzanna our guide was amazing. She showed us around, explained all about how the colors of the ice are created and how the glacier has changed last years. Unfortunately the zipline couldn’t go through because of safety but to be honest we didn’t feel we missed out on anything. We got offered two beautifull ice caves instead which included a small via ferrata. Something we love doing in summer so this extra was something we never ever had expected and is written in our memories for every. We even got more photos than we ordered and also way faster as expected. Our daughter is already talking about going back and we made a memory for life:)

Epic experience! - This was epic! Worth it every penny and 100/10 would recommend, seriously just do it! Our guide Zuzana was incredible, she was super sweet, fun, very knowledgeable and made us feel very safe. The views on the hike, the glacier and the ice cave are out of this world, but being able to zipline on the glacier is truly something else, such an awesome experience!

BEST DAY EVER!!! Krzysztof was the best! - We had the best day ever!!
I am so impressed by our guide Krzysztof who took on a whole group by himself! He took photoes, guided us and made us feel safe with the zip line! He was such a chill guide, but super professional! Ice pic is lucky to have him!
The zip line it self was so memorable and over the glacier was just the perfect experience! This is a a day we will never forget! Thank you so much ice pic journeys!

BEST DAY OF OUR TRIP - What an incredible tour!
I had been looking forward to this since booking it back in December, and let me tell you - it did not disappoint.
Our tour guide Adam was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and made you feel super safe every step of the way.
The tour ended up being 6 of us, and it was so fun! Everyone was incredibly lovely, and the car journey to and from the glacier was easy, and actually quite entertaining - warning - if you get car sick, sit in the front or towards the front of the vehicle, as it can get a wee bit bumpy!
The hike was simple enough, and not too taxing - you take it slowly and careful while wearing crampons which they’ll supply you with (along with micro spikes for the ice caves!).
It gets really windy and cold up on the top of the glacier, so I’d highly suggest wearing layers as you’ll get warm as you hike up there - but once you’re standing still waiting to zip line, you’ll want something to keep you nice and toasty!
There’s no stopping for food, but as it’s only 5 hours, you should be fine with a light snack packed into your backpack or pocket! We brought some protein bars which was just what we needed.
Would also suggest bringing chapstick and SPF as the sun reflecting off the glacier will definitely burn you if you’re not protected!
You get two goes on the zip line, and Adam was great at getting us to pose and make sure the angles and lighting was right. He got some really fun snaps in the ice caves as well, and all in all was just really good at making you feel comfortable in front of the lens. (I’m especially awkward in front of cameras, so that was a feat in its own right!)
What an incredible experience - can’t recommend this enough!
