Amazing experience! - Geert was an amazing friendly and knowledgable guide and kayaking the glacier lagoon was an absolutely unbelievable experience. Would do it ten times over and recommend it to any and all! I will say having at least some kayaking experience would be very beneficial. Geert added some extra fun since we were experienced kayakers which we appreciated so much, and that made the experience even more fun.

Amazing tour with our funny guide Rami - We had a lot of fun with Rami on our Glacier Kayak Tour on Sólheimajökull. It was very quiet and non-touristy, and he shared many interesting facts about the glaciers and the surroundings. Highly recommendable :)

Amazing experience! - Fernanda was super nice guide that I met. She had a sense of duty for her job and it was easy to understand because she explained it step by step from start to finish. I'm going back after an unforgettable experience with my friend. Thank you!

Landscape always changing 😍 - Kayaking in such an amazing place was so cool. The landscape of the icebergs always changing bc they move and melt is simply spectacular. I did the tour with a small group of women very friendly and chill. Fernanda was our guide and she’s so kind and funny, she made my day! After that she gave me amazing recommendations about the small village near the lake. Totally recommended.

Rafting to the base of the glacier in Iceland with the funniest guide. - Finding a fun and super cool mountain guide in Iceland is great. But finding Fernanda, who loves Iceland and transmits with love and passion her knowledge about this glacier and its geological formation, is something truly unique! The kayak ride was very fun and enjoyable. But it was wonderful because of what the guide Fernanda contributed: Without a doubt, Fernanda's assistance in taking the best photos, tasting pieces of ice and enjoying beauty treatments with glacier mud while we navigated among the icebergs floating at the foot of the glacier was amazing. . It was a highly recommended experience!

Unique experience - Great experience from start to finish. The base camp has excellent facilities and was warm and welcoming. We had made the trip to Vik for the day from Reykjavik and glad we got to experience that part of the island. It was a 2 hour drive there and back an early morning was required. We were on the 9.30am group for Kayaking and were finished at 12. We were there as a couple so shared a double kayak which was handy for when one of us was taking pictures the other could still paddle. The instructor was great and kept us right when getting dressed in our dry suit. Be sure to wear a couple of warm layers underneath and bring two pairs of socks incase one gets wet.
