Epic experience! - This was epic! Worth it every penny and 100/10 would recommend, seriously just do it! Our guide Zuzana was incredible, she was super sweet, fun, very knowledgeable and made us feel very safe. The views on the hike, the glacier and the ice cave are out of this world, but being able to zipline on the glacier is truly something else, such an awesome experience!

BEST DAY EVER!!! Krzysztof was the best! - We had the best day ever!! I am so impressed by our guide Krzysztof who took on a whole group by himself! He took photoes, guided us and made us feel safe with the zip line! He was such a chill guide, but super professional! Ice pic is lucky to have him! The zip line it self was so memorable and over the glacier was just the perfect experience! This is a a day we will never forget! Thank you so much ice pic journeys!

BEST DAY OF OUR TRIP - What an incredible tour! I had been looking forward to this since booking it back in December, and let me tell you - it did not disappoint. Our tour guide Adam was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and made you feel super safe every step of the way. The tour ended up being 6 of us, and it was so fun! Everyone was incredibly lovely, and the car journey to and from the glacier was easy, and actually quite entertaining - warning - if you get car sick, sit in the front or towards the front of the vehicle, as it can get a wee bit bumpy! The hike was simple enough, and not too taxing - you take it slowly and careful while wearing crampons which they’ll supply you with (along with micro spikes for the ice caves!). It gets really windy and cold up on the top of the glacier, so I’d highly suggest wearing layers as you’ll get warm as you hike up there - but once you’re standing still waiting to zip line, you’ll want something to keep you nice and toasty! There’s no stopping for food, but as it’s only 5 hours, you should be fine with a light snack packed into your backpack or pocket! We brought some protein bars which was just what we needed. Would also suggest bringing chapstick and SPF as the sun reflecting off the glacier will definitely burn you if you’re not protected! You get two goes on the zip line, and Adam was great at getting us to pose and make sure the angles and lighting was right. He got some really fun snaps in the ice caves as well, and all in all was just really good at making you feel comfortable in front of the lens. (I’m especially awkward in front of cameras, so that was a feat in its own right!) What an incredible experience - can’t recommend this enough!

Best experience in Iceland!!! - Best tour we had in Iceland! We were not rushed as on other tours. Our guide Mike is very knowledgeable. He seemed to care for us and our experience. He also took some amazing pictures of us that we did not get to appreciate until a couple weeks later. Highly recommend this tour and this company in general!!!

Best tour I have ever done in Iceland!! - First up our tour guide Krzysztof was an absolute legend and such a pleasure to spend the day with! You can really feel how much he loves his job and the respect he has for nature. The group itself was a blast! As it was a small group experience we all got the chance to get to know each other pretty well and by the end of the tour it almost felt like a group of friends exploring together, which is awesome when you are travelling solo! The tour started at the glacier lagoon and we immediately headed towards the glacier and into the beautiful ice caves underneath it. Next up we climbed the glacier, which was a super fun experience in and of itself! Finally the glacier zip line definitely lived up to my (already high) expectations!! It was such a good time! Krzysztof also took the time to take us to an additional ice cave tunnel close to the zip line which was such a breathtaking experience and really took the tour to the next level As a local I travel around the Iceland multiple times a year and have done countless of tours all over the country but this one takes the cake! It has such a perfect balance between breathtaking scenery as well as a unique way ti challenge yourself! I cannot stress how much fun this was! BOOK THIS NOW!!!

Amazing Adventure - Very happy to have added this to my 8-day trip to Iceland. I appreciate that this company offers onsite photography and smaller group tours as it provides more time to enjoy the caves, take pictures, and take in the scenery. Our guide, Adam, was all-around great fun - telling jokes, sharing facts about the area, and taking extra time to ensure we were safe and comfortable throughout the day. The short zip line was a unique and thrilling experience that was the cherry on top of an amazing day. I highly recommend checking off your bucket list if you have the courage!
