If you’re on the fence, just DO IT. Our guide, Freya, was so passionate about glaciers and explained everything. Didn’t feel rushed, had plenty of time for photos. The crampons take a bit to get used to but after that, it’s all good. Highlight was definitely walking through the crevasse!

Family trip with two kids (8 & 11). Kids LOVED it, especially the ice cave part. Our guide had silly jokes and made them laugh the whole way. Only bummer, bathroom situation is tricky—go before you get to the glacier. Otherwise, really fun and safe adventure.

We had SO MUCH FUN! Tunnel is freezing, but guides have extra gloves. Horses are cute, and the waterfall stop is scenic. Monster truck is like a rollercoaster. Would recommend.

Family of five, teens included. Everyone enjoyed the tunnel and glacier views. The monster truck ride is long and bumpy (pack motion sickness meds if ur sensitive). Guides are super knowledgeable. Would do it again.
