Expérience inoubliable sur le glacier Vatnajokull. Silvia, notre guide, est très professionnelle, très souriante, à l'écoute. Elle nous a guidés en toute sécurité sur les 2 langues glaciaires, en privilégiant les conditions météo et l'affluence (nombreux groupes sur le glacier principal pendant que nous étions seuls sur l'autre langue glaciaire). Nous recommandons vivement.

Nous avons réservé le tour « Only the brave » proposant l’unique grotte de glace ouverte pendant l’été. Nous avons eu peur de la difficulté de la marche, étant donné que c’était la première fois sur un glacier avec des crampons. Finalement, notre guide Sylvia nous a mis en confiance tout au long du circuit et a su s’adapter aux difficultés de chacun. Je recommande ce tour plutôt que les autres, les guides nous apprennent plus que simplement faire des photos. On nous a appris à mettre des crampons, les différentes techniques de marche… Un incontournable si vous êtes dans la région !!
