Most memorable experience out of my 8 days in Iceland! We were a party of 3 and our guide Katerina was simply the best! She was very knowledgeable about glaciers in and out of Iceland, very safety-conscious, and offered to take many excellent pictures. I left the tour feeling very grateful that I could get up close to the World’s third-biggest glacier that is not expected to exist in another 100-120 years. Being in such a small group also meant that we had plenty of opportunity to talk about many other topics and received a local’s insight to touring Iceland. Another bonus from the tour- joy ride over rough, undulating terrain leading up to the start of the glacier hike. Taking you further in than most others. The team behind Melrakki Adventures were quick to respond to our last-minute request to reschedule… twice! Thank you Katerina and team for the second-to-none experience.

The Blue ice cave tour is for those who want to experience natures spectacular surroundings in a less crowded ice cave.This ice cave tour has much fewer tourists so you will have more privacy and you will have more time to see, experience and photograph the amazing creatures of nature.. The tour is excellent for all nature lovers ,photographers , outdoor people who love to hike a little bit and for those who love extreme beautiful nature and outdoor activity. -The difficult level in this tour is rather moderate but people need to dress warmly,in a good hiking shoes in it because sometimes we hike the glacier to reach to the cave. if you want something truly memorable then join us on this magical tour. Our Crystal blue adventure ice cave tour is for ice cave lovers that wants to reach for something more extreme blue and is a combination of a glacier hike and an ice cave tour to our most blue and beautiful ice cave .

We had a great tour with our guide Patrice. He offered good knowledge of the ice cave and also gave us a lot of freedom to roam and take pictures. The cave is wonderful and very colorful. The hike in the sun to get to the cave was very enjoyable and easy as well. We definitly recommend Local Guides and the Sapphire cave !
4. Iceland Glacier Walk
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 8 reviews
Discover the beauty of Iceland’s largest glaciers and highest volcanoes with professional guides that focus on providing the highest possible standard of experience. Gigantic rivers of ice are constantly pouring down from the Vatnajökull ice cap, flowing almost the entire way out to the ocean below. These powerful forces of nature have built and shaped the land within Vatnajökull National Park, subsequently creating formations that are unique only to this part of the world. Blue ice, green moss, volcanic rocks and pure drinking water. This is what the Iceland Glacier Walk is all about and what you will experience when you visit the glacier on a Iceland Glacier Walk with us. With safety as the highest priority at all times Glacier and Volcano Expeditions always endeavour to take their guests to the most interesting, beautiful and photogenic locations whilst also being on the lookout for new features that the glacier creates regularly. This is all part of the fun!
Inclusions: Crampons, Harness, Helmet, Ice axe/ pole (if necessary)
Exclusions: Boots/ Rain coat

This tour was the best thing we did during our travels in Iceland! Thanks to the low tourist numbers we actually had a private tour so it was just two of us with Oddur and Katerina on the glacier that day. We had an amazing time with them, they told us so much about the glacier, took pictures for us and gave us as much time as we wanted. The two are really nice and relaxed, they make you feel safe on the glacier and are just perfect guides! I can strongly recommend doing the tour with them! Thank you guys again for such a wonderful experience!

These powerful forces of nature have built and shaped the land within Vatnajökull National Park, subsequently creating formations that are unique only to this part of the world.

We found our guide chilling by their cool modified Land Rover and the tour begun! Drive over some bumpy terrain to the glacier tongue, grabbed our safety gear and walked to the ice caves, crawled on hands and knees to another secret cave absolutely stunning to behold, included a hike on the glacier itself which is just incredible. One of the best tours i have ever done, was only four of us whereas all the other tours were filled with as many tourists as possible our was personal and our guide was truly amazing, funny, lady I can’t remember her name sadly but as a small company they will know :) I recommend to anyone, SPEND A LITTLE MORE AND RECEIVE SO MUCH MORE!
