This tour was the highlight of our trip! Highly recommend. Lorenzo is an incredible guide, very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The glacier hike can be a bit strenuous depending on your level of experience - it’s about an hour hike to the glacier, an hour hiking on the glacier in crampons, and an hour back, with some uphill portions. But Lorenzo made sure everyone was prepared and felt comfortable, and people were able to go at their own speed. I’d definitely recommend wearing all waterproof clothing and if there is any chance of rain, bringing a dry change of clothes. We bought sandwiches at the rest stop in the morning and ate them on the beach, which was lovely. There is also a cafe at the beach if you prefer.

Memorable Experience
We had a great time! Our tour guide Lorenzo was very friendly and super knowledgeable. He was also very patient with the people on the tour who did not follow instructions very well lol! Totally recommend. We learned a lot about glaciers and the history of the south coast thanks to our great guide.

Glacier hike plus so much more
Had a fantastic day seeing the south coast of Iceland with Lorenzo. Started with the glacier hike which was such an amazing experience. Lorenzo made everyone feel safe and explained the equipment and all about the glacier. Then we went to the black sand beach and ended the day with a waterfall. Highly recommended doing this tour.

Quite a challenge...
From what they told us, access to the glacier used to be easy, but now it has changed since the glacier has retreated due to the melting of the ice. You have to walk about 3 miles over uneven terrain to reach the point where you have to go down a zigzag path to then climb up to the glacier. Therefore, if you have knee problems or trouble walking, or are not in good physical condition, think twice.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. You are correct that the glacier’s retreat has made the approach longer and more challenging than it used to be. We understand that this is important to consider when booking. We always provide information about the hike and recommend good physical fitness and sturdy footwear. We’re glad you enjoyed the experience despite the challenging approach.

Great day.
Christian was a great guide. Knowledgeable. Sense of humor. Patient. Very safety conscience on the glacier hike. Also stoped at a water fall, black sand beach, etc. A great day!

If you're looking for...
If you're looking for amazing views and the ability to walk on a glacier, this is the excursion for you. Just know that it's not a mild hike. It took 45 minutes to an hour to hike to the glacier with some very steep descents on a very narrow path. Our guide was well ahead of a lot of the group and rarely checked to be sure that everyone was keeping up. One our walk back to the starting point, he even ran ahead of several other groups to catch up with another guide and walk back with him. One of the most amazing things we've done but guide needed to be more attentive. One other thing...our pick up location was changed the day before as well as the itinerary.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you found the experience amazing despite the challenging approach to the glacier. The retreating glacier has unfortunately made the hike longer and more demanding than in the past. We’re sorry if you felt your guide was not attentive enough to the group, and we’ll take your comments on board. We also apologize for any confusion regarding the pickup and itinerary changes.

Glacier Hike was amazing- do it!
Outstanding trip w Lorenzo and Glacier and Waterfalls tour company. We got to see so much of Iceland. The best was the hike on the Glacier. The tour includes a ~45 minute hike to the Glacier, so beautiful! Don't overdressed. It will be cooler on the Glacier, but you are moving so nothing too heavy. Just waterproof top level. Lorenzo did a great job - thank you!!

Glacier Hike is Worth the Drive
Overall and amazing experience. The waterfalls were a fun pit spot on the way to the main event. We spent 3 hours hiking with about and hour on the glacier. The views alone made the trip worth it. Lorenzo was a fantastic guide.
