An “Emerld City” experience from the Wizard of OZ
A little in the strenuous side, but a lifetime memorable experience!
Our guide (from Slovakia) was fabulous!!
Her patience, kindness, professionalism and respect for nature is incomparable.
Her name escapes us, Marissa?

Half-day Canyoning under VatnajökullCalvinLo923, Aug 2026
Absolute highlight of our Iceland adventure
Kish and Rich are super professional and knowledgeable, they took care of everything and making our canyoning experience safe and enjoyable.We were unsure and nervous about getting into icy water at first but the wetsuit kept us warm the whole time. We had prior canyoning experience but those were mostly cliff jumping and sliding, little did we do rappelling before this tour. This was the first time we try rappelling so extensively. We were a bit scared at first but Kish & Rich were very patient and explained the techniques and safety precautions in great details, we were so proud of ourselves for having descended down the tall cliffs!It was so fun and was such a unique experience to immerse yourself in the spectacular Iceland scenery! 4 hours flew by quickly without us even realizing! The group size is small so you are being taken good care of (we were lucky enough to be the only group of the session and got a private tour!). Be sure to book in advance!

Ice Exploration Tour from the Glacier LagoonJohn_J, Aug 2026
Great hike and guide
We had a great experience with Guillermo as our guide. He was extremely friendly and helpful, and made the hike a lot of fun. He shared a lot of knowledge about Vatnajökull. We went during the summer, which is definitely a different experience from winter, so keep that in mind. There's a drive, then a short hike to the glacier, then you hike the glacier itself, and do it all in reverse to get back. Our tour was 4.5 hours from check-in until return.

Half-day Canyoning under VatnajökullkasiakW86YW, Aug 2026
Do it!
Worth it! Guides are super efficient, very knowledgeable. The place is amazing, definitely off the beaten track and I know what I say since I’m guiding in Iceland too. It isn’t cold as we got thick neoprene. Their gear is in good shape. Plus, it is a small company definitely better idea to go with them to the glacier for example than with huge operators.

Amazing Experience - Guillermo was the best!
We enjoyed this tour with our two children while traveling in Iceland and it was an absolute highlight! Meet-up at Glacier Lagoon was very easy and our guide (Guillermo) explained the process to us every step of the way so we knew what to expect. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the glacier and history of the area and took time to answer all of our questions. He was even super kind to our 10 year old who is a chatterbox and had all sorts of questions (beyond glacier-related topics). The tour definitely requires a decent degree of fitness, stamina, and ability to follow instructions to stay safe on the ice. Thank you so much Guillermo and Ice Explorers - we had the best time!

Glacier Lagoon KayakingCRISTINA_G, Aug 2026
Unique experience
Based on the comments, one of them scared us saying that the lake would be very crowded, not at all, very far from reality. There were only the 12 of us who started the activity at the same time, and that was at the end of July. Also, we thought we weren't going to see icebergs, and there they were. And the views are spectacular. Hats off to the guides as well. Thanks for everything.

Glacier Combo Kayking at Glacier Lagoon and Glacier Hikedonstoner, Jul 2026
Great day in one spot
One hour two person kayak with Daniel delivered get experience that included photos and up close iceberg views. Long wait between kayak and hike (2 hours), which allowed for lunch and walk to diamond beach. 30 minute van ride to glacier before hour plus hike with Thor. A blue cave was accessible, although small, but Thor took us to “the top” for great views and pics. He also provided extensive information about the glacier.

Glacier Combo Kayking at Glacier Lagoon and Glacier HikeGina_C, Jun 2026
Exceptional tour with great views
We did both the kayak and glacier hike tours. The kayak tour of icebergs in the lagoon were a beautiful sight to be up close. It was relaxing!
The glacier hike was amazing. Our guide Þóris was exceptional! His knowledge and love of the glacier and natural landscape around was great to learn. The hike was fairly easy and very different from the other glacier hikes. We loved it! They did give you 1.5 hrs in between both to eat(food and bathrooms avail) as well as a walk across the street to Diamond beach. Great day!

The Original Ice Cave Tour in Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon514teddyh, May 2026
The once in a lifetime experience
What an adventure. I highly recommand Local Guide. Our guide was awesome.
Since the caves weren't as extraordinary as usual, Mike took the time with our small group (about 11 people) and brought us to two small caves, we had a nice hike on the glacier. He taught us a lot about the region. The tour that was expected to last 3 to 4 hours lasted 5 hours. That was definitely a great experience

Great tour with knowledge guides
Yurin and Grudic were great. They really made the experience. My 8 year old was able to do everything and had a blast with the guides. Because of weather the 4-6 hour glacier-ice cave tour changed to be a 3-4 hour. But it was wonderful. The company was fair and reimbursed us some of the isk back. Very fair and still a cherished memory and adventure.
