Review of: 5-day Laugavegur Trek in Huts
We felt so safe and welcome with our lovely guides Greta and Agust. Organisation and fellowship were great at all time. They gave us the best fact and emotions of the landscape and their earthborn vikings they are. I will never forget hattafell and the impressions on the track and with a real fellowship of elves like Greta an Agust. Cant wait to see you again!…

We booked this walk after stopping at Skaftafell for myself and my 12-year-old son. We were a bit concerned that this tour would not be sufficiently challenging for my son, who is an experienced climber but not old enough to go on the ice climbing tour. We need no have worried. Although only slightly physically challenging, the walk was a great introduction to glaciers with some fabulous sights along the way. Our guide, Marco, was charming, experienced and totally chilled. He took great care of everyone in the group, regardless of ability, and gently explained the geology of the area and about walking with crampons. We would go back for a longer tour.…

Review of: 3-hour Glacier Hike on Sólheimajökull
I was anxious at first because i had never done anything of the sort before, but that feeling disappeared after 10 minutes. Our guide, Javier, made us feel safe during the whole hike and we felt taken care of the whole time. He also explains a lot of things during the hike and takes as many breaks as you need, We had a great time and we’re both grateful we did it. Excellent option for a first time on a glacier.…
