Our tour was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, Seerah (hope that’s the right spelling!), was brilliant—so knowledgeable and informative throughout. She made sure we felt safe and looked after, even guiding us through some challenging weather. When I got a small cut and slipped, she went out of her way to check I was alright. Incredible tour, but definitely a tough one! 😅👏
Very great experience! We spent days trying to decide to hike the glacier or go on an ice cave tour. In the end we chose the glacier hike and i am so glad we did so! The tour was very enjoyable and fun with breathtaking view over the glacier, and would only recommend it to anyone! Our guide was very informative and made a great atmosphere during the whole hike and made sure we see everything on the part of the glacier where we hiked while also kept us safe! We also hiked up higher than most groups so they did not disturb us on the way. The price is high, and the experience is totally worth it if you ask me. So absolutely recommended! Make sure to bring waterproof jacket and boots, water and some snack. We also could drink from a small glacier waterfall, so a small cup or water bottle is also recommended.:)
