Glaciers hike - Great day. Friendly guides, on time, great hike! Well worth the time. Our group varied in ages from 18-60. Need to have some physical fitness as the hike up and back down is slightly steep, but fun!

Super hike - This was a unique experience that was a highlight of our trip. The 4x4 transport to the base of the glacier enabled us to maximize our time there. The hike was easy for us because we are in shape, but it would be difficult for people who are not physically fit or who have bad knees or hips.

We had an excellent time... - We had an excellent time on this tour and our guide Kish was very knowledgeable. It was both of our first times walking on a glacier but felt very comfortable thanks to the guide.

Excellent trip - We had a wonderful walk with Barbara. She was very nice, good guide with very good explanation about the gletsjer. Good equipment. Would do it again. Tip: take an early excursion, less crowds.

The 5* is for the quality of tour operator not the scenery - Our guide was very helpful, helped us put on the equpment, looked for the easiest path and even made it smoother for us. The scenery is not exceptional. The glacier is more beautiful looking at from a distance than by walking on it.

Great tour, small group- Disco was amazing! - I had booked an ice cave tour with them, but unfortunately it was quite sunny when we were visiting and most ice caves were not viable. The company managed to find a tiny ice cave and combine it with a glacier walk to make it a good experience. We started the tour with some equipment and a short drive to the glacier. We were then taught to wear and walk in our crampons. Our guide Disco was lovely- he gave us a lot of information and fun facts about the glaciers, and natural processes. He also told us about great camera angles and we got lovely pictures. We were a total of 6 people plus Disco- and the small group experience was wonderful. I highly recommend them!

Great Introduction to Glacier Trekking! - My husband and I really enjoyed this “Intro” to glacier touring. Mary was our friendly, fantastic guide and gave us all a good lesson in using the crampons and ice axes we were outfitted with. She explained the features of the glacier and showed us many of ice formations that most of us have only read about! Safety was always first. It was a great tour!

Average, easy - Average. Very easy hike, very flat. Actual time on glacier is one hour (as it states) but there was a lot of stopping and talking, so it felt super short. Guide was very plesant and knowledgeable though. Very suited if you have some cardio/walking challanges, but too small/easy if you want even tiny bit of sweat 😅
