A trip to remember

My dad and I went on the guided hike up onto Skaftafell Glacier, and it was definitely an experience to remember. We walked right up onto the top of the glacier, through crevasses and down into an ice cave. It is quite a hike but slow-paced and has plenty of brakes. Our guide was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Definitely recommended!

Superb Experience!

We chose the 5 hours tour, and it was definitely worth it as we were able to access three caves. Our guide was also incredibly prepared on a number of topics related to the glacier and the nature surrounding us: he topped off the experience. THANKS GUYS!

Fun Experience

We had 3.5 hours on the glacier, with competent and extremely friendly support that took into account the strengths and weaknesses of the participants. It was a spontaneous decision, but we still had a wonderful tour with breathtaking views and a great experience. Would recommend it to anyone at any time.

Wonderful tour of Iceland

I just wanted to let you know how happy we were with the travel package you and co-workers put together. We had no problems at all with the accommodations, and everything went quite smoothly with the vouchers. The inns were comfortable, and the car arrangements also went well. The extra time near Lake Myvatn allowed me to have a wonderful horseback ride and practice the "tolt" at Hestasport. Thankfully the storms didn't interfere with travel too much. It was a bit of a challenge communicating back and forth for the planning aspect, with the time and date differences, but we had a great trip and enjoyed Island a lot, amazing place! Thanks for your help.

Happy Iceland trip with Erlingsson Nature Travel

In the meantime, we have returned well and healthy from our trip to Iceland and we are deeply impressed by the nature experiences and various impressions of the journey. Everything went well, car, nights, whale watching; Only a little more time would have been there and there. But that was also clear given the tight time budget. A nice first impression, we'll be back for sure. Thanks again for the successful compilation of the tour and greetings
