This hike with our excellent guide Hanka has truly been one of the most outstanding parts of our time in Iceland. She was extremely knowledgeable, helpful to us first-time glacier trekkers and engaging with our teenage son -- which he told us he really appreciated. The scenery is magnificent and the smell of the air and sound of the rushing water is unforgettable. 5 stars.
Hvannadalshnúkur dreams come true
I took a Hvannadalshnúkur (highest peak of Iceland) tour with Andrea and Antoine. I wanted to thank all Icelandic Mountain Guides team for this tour. It is definitely a must-do when in Iceland if you are here in the right season. I have enjoyed it from the briefing (one day before the tour) until the very last minute. Andrea and Antoine are professionals in every meaning of this word. They have helped everyone out with any issue (equipment and attaching it to the backpack, even giving away their equipment if needed), kept a good positive attitude even when some people from the group started to have some doubts, followed safety rules during all the tour and made it just fun and enjoyable. Even after 3h of sleep and 13,5h hike I was just the happiest and I would do it again and again every season :) Beautiful experience, lifetime memory. Thank you so much and sending kindest regards to Antoine (saved my tour ) and Andrea, you are legends!
Blue Ice Experience 🧊 Hike on a Glacier in Skaftafell National Park
What an amazing experience!! This was a highlight of our trip. Our guide Michel was absolutely fantastic, friendly and full of info about all things Icelandic. We hiked all the way up to an ice wall and saw a unique cave like formation where we stopped for once in a lifetime photos! We really enjoyed it
Double the fun!
We booked with Icelandic Mountain Guides twice while in Iceland. The first was the 5 day Wilderness of Strútur Trail and the second was the Blue Ice Experience out of Skaftafell. They were both fabulous and I would highly recommend them. We selected the Wilderness of Strúter Trail rather than the more popular Landmannalaugar trek since we wanted to be far from the maddening crowd. It exceeded our expectations! Milla was an incredible guide and really helped us make the most of our 5 days (the perfect weather helped too and while I think Milla was fabulous...I can't give her credit for the weather :-) She also was an incredible resource on Iceland in general and was very generous with her expertise on things to do around the country as we were heading out for 12 days to drive the ring road (she even responded to texts while we were on the road with last minute questions!) The huts were better than I expected and the food was great. High fives all around. Our second excursion was the Blue Ice Experience. We were limited on time and it gave us the opportunity to get out on the glacier. Hallthor was a really excellent guide and a great resource on what to do around Myvatn.
