Inolvidable! - A great experience! Really Martin and Ola tried hard to make it an unforgettable hike, first we went to the blue cave, where we had all the time we wanted to take pictures, an hour we were approximately. Then we put on the crampons and started the glacier walk, they took us to all the corners where the rivers had formed caves and it was wonderful. You can tell they are professional people and they like their work. RecommendedExperience!

An Unforgettable Glacier Experience with Icewalkers! - We had the best time on this tour! Marcin and Ola are super experienced and really made us feel like ice explorers. We had a sunny day and got to explore a lot of the glacier, which was amazing! Then we went into the caves and could not believe how blue it was. We even got to see an extra cave in the end because our amazing guides made some extra time! Would recommend Icewalkers to anyone, but especially those with an adventurous spirit looking to go where the crowds don't!! 🤍

Cannot recommend enough! - IceWalkers took us on the best tour EVER!!!! Marcin and Ola were super kind and made sure we had the best experience possible. We were lucky with the weather so they took us really far into the glacier and saw some of the most amazing views I have ever seen. The we went into the caves and they were super careful to give us enough time for photos and just to appreciate the beauty. We even got to see an extra cave at the end of the tour! They went above and beyond to give us an amazing experience and we are super grateful! 🥰✨ Cannot recommend enough! ❤️

The BEST! - Absolutely incredible. My favourite experience to date. Couldn’t recommend this company enough, they went above and beyond to ensure we got the best possible experience. They took us off the beaten track and were incredibly knowledgeable. I wouldn’t do the tour/hike with any other company!

Amazing, what an experience, absolute "have to do" on the Iceland list! - What a wonderful experience! When we arrived we were received very nicely. We were a slightly larger group of 12 people, but also two guides. Our super nice guides Martin and Ola have accompanied us professionally and professionally through our geltscher and ice cave tour. I felt very safe. On the way, Martin gave us an entertaining update on the history of Iceland and the glacier. When equipping there is help and then we started to glacier edge. In between there were always beautiful spots to admire and take photos. At the end of the tour we are still in an ice cave. Oh, hell! These shades of blue, the light and the surface of the ice, indescribable! Overall, everything was very well prepared and organized. We can only recommend this tour and Martin and Ola as a guide to anyone.

Amazing tour - An amazing tour on the Vatnajökul glacier. About 4h30 on the glacier and the ice cave. Our guide took us to the best spot on the edge of the glacier with a great view on the jokusarlon lagoon. Martin was very nice and explained everything about the history of the glacier. The 4 frenchies.

Perfect Experience!!! - The views were amazing!!! Our guides were knowledge and so so generous and kind. They helped us feel prepared and totally safe the entire time. Marty and Ola were both wonderful. They both stopped at various times to help travelers from other groups struggling with their crampons. They showed us many locations and took us to a beautiful cave. I’ll be recommending to any friends and family I know that come to Iceland. I felt like we had a private more “local” feel compared to the mega buses in the lot as well.
