We opted for meeting at the glacier. The glacier walk was fun, found out some interesting things about the glaciers. Overall we were on the glacier for just over an hour, rest of the time was spent getting to and back from the glacier, it’s a hike! The guide was entertaining and answered questions that were posed. Overall a worthwhile hike.
