Beautiful Glacier Walk, an experience you will never forget - The Glacier Walk was fantastic!! Our guide Iga was fun and gave us a great experience. We visited an ice cave, walked on the glacier and even looked down into an ice crevice (safely in a harness). It was an experience you will never forget. I definitely recommend the Ice Explorers!

Glacier walk - We had a beautiful sunny day for the glacier walk to a small ice cave and our guide gave us an informative introduction to moulins, ice caves, and layers making of the glacier. It was quite the experience, highly recommend it!

Great experience - We had a great glacier hike experience. Though weather was against our favor (cloudy and drizzling) we still had a good experience of exploring glacier. We got to see unique ice sculpture and crevasse formations. Javier was amazing tour guide and very informative.
