Wow what an amazing experience. My wife and I had a 10am flight. From the first moment to the min we left we were really well looked after. All of the staff are friendly and professional on every way. The flight was incredible with an ice landing, our pilot made it look easy but it’s nothing but, his knowledge was great and good photo skills too. This trip is a must for anyone visiting this area. Well done everyone. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

It was very informative. Our guide, Charlie, worked extremely hard to dig a safe path for us to walk on the ice. We had excellent weather and enjoyed a very full three hours on the glacier. As this tour is weather-dependent, the conditions on our day allowed us to fully experience everything. Although there were many tourists, the guide ensured we had enough time at each spot and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the experience. The glacier is truly magnificent, and the entire tour was incredibly enjoyable.
