“Wonderful day spent in the south of Iceland. The falls and beaches were beautiful. The glacier walk was a great experience. However it is not a walk and should not be rated as easy. The walk required hiking boots you can rent them, as well as crampons, helmet, ice axe, and harness provided by the tour. The walk was 4 hours in duration which included round trip hiking to the glacial lagoon, strapping on the crampons, climbing up the face of the glacier, hiking on the top of the glacier and then back down again, the same path. The guide was a very energetic, enthusiatic, and quite capable young lady.…”
