It is a highly challenging, adrenaline-filled experience.
I didn't think I’d make it, but it is a wonderful hike with beautiful scenery.
I recommend wearing ankle-high boots; otherwise, you can rent them for an extra fee for greater comfort and safety.

Stellar Experience
Really great hike with stellar views. It is not for the weak. We had a few people tap out half way. I think they would have been fine had they hung in there, but it is a very long hike. My advice would be do a lot of walking before you visit and you will be fine. The hikes probably a little over 10 miles total. Our guide was Lucas and he was great. He kept a nice slow pace so everyone could keep up and was very knowlegable about the glacier. I can't wait to come back again.

Once in a lifetime
We really enjoyed our hike on the glacier. This felt like a once in a lifetime experience and I’m so glad we got to do it. Finley, our guide was great. What fun to do the viking push up and drink the glacier water.

Amazing first time glacier hike!
Awesome hike and amazing guide- Franco was great! As a first time hiker on a glacier, it was a great experience. The group included a diverse group of people which was great as well.
We also lucked out with a beautiful sunny day.

Awesome Glacier Hike!
There's an hour long moderate hike out to the glacier with some steep descents and climbs ... but hiking the glacier made it worthwhile. Our guide, Daniel, was fantastic; he was engaging, kept us safe, helped if needed, and was very informative. Thanks again Daniel!!

Fantastic Experience. Some things to note.
Fantastic experience! Very valuable for the price. Our tour guide, Daniel, was great. He was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and attentive to safety. Some things to note. The tour has recently been extended to 4 hours, which has been caused due to a recent hiking path change. Although Arctic Adventures advertised it as easy, I would consider the hike to be moderate to challenging. For reference, I am a fit 25 yo male. Be prepared to either bring above-the-ankle hiking boots or rent theirs for a small fee. Pack a backpack with water, snacks, and additional layers, if necessary. Overall, I would highly recommend!

Hi Jack, thanks for the thorough rundown. The boot, water, and difficulty tips will help anyone reading this before their booking. Fantastic experience and highly recommended alongside the honest prep advice is the most useful kind of review.

Amazing once you get on the glacier but the hike is NO JOKE
This is an amazing experience but the hike is no joke. I was booked on this tour through the tour company I booked my Iceland tour with, so none in our group was aware of how strenuous this tour would be until we arrived at the site. I felt that the guide walked a bit fast on our hour-long hike to get to the glacier; he walks this route twice/day, he knows the terrain. I, on the other hand, do not, and have to be careful where I'm stepping and watch where I'm walking. I will admit, however, that he was very helpful once we arrived to the glacier and on the glacier itself. On our way back to the meeting area we merged with another group and everyone took off. I was the last person to arrive back, partly because I was tired but also because my feet were hurting due to having to rent their hiking boots (make sure you have high top hiking boots; I wear low cut hiking shoes and therefore had to rent boots, which was another thing we did not know until we arrived at the excursion). Being that there were 2 groups that morphed into one I would have assumed at least one guide would have stayed back to insure all guests returned to the starting area. For all anyone knew I fell, hit my head, and was unconscious somewhere along the trail. When I say there was no one around, there was NO ONE. Two individuals from the group I was traveling with eventually saw me and walked the remainder of the trail with me. My other concern was that a few individuals in the second group had their ice axes and crampons slung over their shoulders while they were walking. All it would take was for them to turn fast and someone would've had a pretty good laceration on their face from running into such a sharp object. These individuals were walking with a guide, who didn't say anything to them about safety or that it was probably not a good idea to walk with such sharp/dangerous objects slung over their shoulders.

Our guide Steven was...
Our guide Steven was absolutely incredible, so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He went out of his way to show us things about the glacier the other guides weren't doing. Very open to sharing his experiences and all the questions we had. Highly recommend this tour with Steven and you'll fall in love with the glacier and mountains too.

Amazing hike for someone wanting to experience the glaciers
Maybe the most fun hike I have ever done. The guide Francesco was fantastic and took us to one of the highest points we could get to on the glacier. Incredible views and a hike that really felt like an "only in Iceland" experience.
