We did the glacier walking with melrakki with very short notice and it was perfect. We were just 6 people and the guide Katerina that was super nice. Its obvious they care about people and offer the best experience possible. We totally recommend melrakki!!!!
I just couldn't catch our guides name and ended up calling him Oster (which apparently means cheese). He made us feel safe and didn't feel rushed. They just started few months ago and that's why the limited reviews. Highly recommend this company. They take us all the way to the glacier so you get some off-roading experience as well. We saw an ice cave too.
We had an incredible day hiking the glacier with our guide, who took the extra time to explain to us many geological details about glaciers and the surrounding area as we had a lot of questions (coming from Florida!). Amazing experience and top notch service. Highly recommend Melrakki Adventures - for a more personalized experience. (Our guide also let us try ice climbing, since we had been very curious about that too!!).
Great Experience!! Melrakki Adventures is a new company with small groups of 8 and the ability to drive closer to the glacier than most other tours. This cut off 20 minutes, of useless walking, both ways. We did the 4 hour climb with a 12 and 13 year old girl and made it to the highest point possible. The pace was good and we made several stops to rest, take pictures and look around at the scenery while our guide, Katarina, gave us information about glaciers. We were even lucky enough to experience an ice cave in August, which is a very rare find I am told. I highly recommend this company.
Thank you so much for this review. I'm glad you've liked your Adventure trip to the icefall of Falljökull with Katerina, and yes, the cave is a nice extra thing in the summer time! Thank you for joining us
I highly recommend this company and their adventure tour to anyone looking for a fantastic experience. The 4x4 drive up to the bottom of the glacier is great fun and saves you a lot of time that you can spend on the glacier itself. The Small group (we were 7) allows you to go to places that others cannot go to (we went all the way up to the highest point that can be safely reached), very knowledgeable and pleasant guide (in our case: Katarina), fantastic glacier. We were very lucky that day as the weather was perfect and we even got into an ice cave, which is really rare in the summer. Best experience of our 10 day trip to Iceland!
Thank you so much for taking the time and writing a review for us! I'm pleased to hear that you've had a great time on the glacier with Katerina.
Excellent, friendly, and very safety-conscious guide. If you’re looking for a very personal experience with a small group, this is a phenomenal choice. We were driven right to the edge of the glacier and provided with all of the necessary safety equipment. We only had 4 people in our group, which gave us a chance to get to know each other and our guide. He taught us about the geomorphology of Iceland and its glaciers, and even brought us through an ice cave! All around one-of-a-kind experience.
I am very happy to hear you've liked you time on the glacier and thank you so much for taking time to write this review.
tour guide/owner just loves her job and her enthusiasm enhances a great tour. small numbers, drives close as possible to the glacier. An unplanned trip and so glad we did it.
