This trip was amazing!! The glacier and the climb were definitely a highlight of my vacation, but what made it even more special was our guide Francesco. He was incredibly nice, talkative and fun. He made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time and took us to some extra areas of the glacier since we had extra time.

This was truly one of the best things I've done in my life, we hiked up a glacier with Kiki who was totally amazing and safety first, never once felt unsafe even when abseiling 30 foot down into a 80+ foot deep mulan, can't recommend this enough 😀 was beautiful, thrilling, intense, adrenaline full and 100% recommend this to all people who want a great experience.

Our transportation guide, Siggi, was the funniest and nicest guy I've ever met! He was super informative and down to earth. The trip itself was equally incredible. It's 4.5hrs without transportation (11hrs with) and I didn't want it to end. We were kitted out (you'll definitely need their boots!) and walked over to the glacier. The guide was lovely and definitely contributed positively to the experience. The climb was great and we had light training beforehand which gave us all confidence. Our group was small (only 5 of us) and it's great they do that because the experience felt more initimate. An experience I'll never forget. You have to do this when you visit Iceland!
