1. Glacier Walk
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 7 reviews
This is a tour for those who wish to enjoy outdoor activities in the fresh mountain air and experience the unspoiled natural beauty of Iceland at its best. Breiðamerkurjökull is a part of Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Europe, and glacier hiking is the perfect way to get to know this magnificent natural phenomenon while at the same time enjoying the surrounding and majestic mountain views. We meet at Jökulsárlón and embark on a 30-minute jeep ride to where we start our walk, at which point all passengers receive necessary safety equipment and instructions from the guide, essential for glacier walks. During the tour, passengers will acquire knowledge about the glacier and view some unique ice sculpture and crevasse formations. Conditions for photography are exceptional in this unique landscape, and, again, there will be very few people around.
Inclusions: Crampons, helmet, ice axe, harness

We really wanted to hike a glacier and see natural ice caves (NOT man made) in Iceland. Blue Iceland was the only company that would allow a 4 years old on a private tour. With a 4 and 7 years old, we were able to go at our own pace. Our guide was very patient and understanding. My 4 yo said "It's like I am in a book". Thank you for the memories!

If you love dogs and/ or the Islandic countryside then this a must for you. The crew were extremely friendly, and having dealt with dogs for many years I can confirm they are loved and well looked-after ... definitely family members, not beasts of burden by any means. If you have the time take this trip even if there is no snow, it is definitely woth it and - I imagine that COVID 19 has also had a detrimental impact on the dogsledding business too - help support their livelyhood and help their fourlegged friends in the process :-)

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.

7. Blue Ice Cave Exploration (from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon)
Blue Ice Cave - This natural phenomenon is undeniably the most awesome and mesmerising in Iceland. As it forms naturally every winter under the glacier, our guides have to search for them every winter since their location is not the same. Throughout the winter, the shape, size, structure and position of Blue Ice Cave keeps changing as the ice melts during the day and freezes again during the night. Let our professional guide explain to you the how and what and why. Come and be awed by mother nature.
Inclusions: Usage of crampons and helmets during the hike, All Fees and Taxes, Professional Guide, Super Jeep ride to glacier
Exclusions: Food, Hiking/Trekking Shoes

I was hesitant to visit the blue lagoon as I heard from other visitors that it is full of tourists (whatever that means because they are and I also am one of them :) ) Unfortunately one of my tours was cancelled and asking some of the guides from other tours, they said I should definitely go. And I agree, going was the right decision, but I want to share some of the details so you know what to expect. It is really beautiful, no doubt but it was quite crowded (even in these times of low tourism) and as I heard this is not considered crowded to them. It did not feel like there was many people in the lagoon, but it was a completely different story in the locker area. That means, you may have to wait to be able to get in a shower before (you need to shower before entering the lagoon) and after. With the option I chose you get access to not very spacious common locker areas, where it may be hard to get dressed and pay attention to your belongings, use the toilet (there is only one in that locker area) in the other end of the room, etc. While they provide shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the showers, there is nowhere to put your own stuff other than the floor, in case you need to use your own personal hygiene products and they only provide one towel when you are out of the lagoon so you cannot dry after the first shower and when getting out of the lagoon. If you look in the right direction, you will have a beautiful volcanic landscape but there is also some buildings around it that I did not expect to see and the general look is a bit like a big swimming pool On the other hand, yes your skin will look amazing after soaking in the lagoon and having a mask on. The staff is kind and helpful and Lava restaurant is super yummy. I had the fish of the day (Atlantic wolffish) and it was probably one of the best white fish I ever had. And always a plus, their recommendation of wine pairing was super accurate. The transportation service was effective and runs regularly, plus it is comfortable with WiFi on board. Overall, I agree "If you go to Iceland, yo go to the Blue Lagoon" Experience it for your self as it is unique.

We booked a Localgrapher for a couples shoot in Arizona. The results were okay at best, and we regretted not seeking out an established local in the area. For the price, we received 60 very average choices and the ability to select 35 shots. We couldn’t even find 35 framed correctly. The localgrapher website is also a joke which requires a youtube video to figure out. The UI is terrible and the photos will disappear rapidly so do not wait to download (set aside a couple hours - that’s how bad it is). But really, just avoid. Hire someone directly.
