Breathtaking views and out of this world experience of the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier. Stone (can’t remember the Icelandic name) was our guide (born and bred in the village from which we started), who gave us fascinating insight into the glacier and life in the area. He was informative and humorous and pitched the tour at just the right level for all the family. On the way back he stopped to show us blueberries and another edible berry found in Iceland.
Walking on the glacier kitted out with helmet, crampons etc wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be but a brilliant experience and worth every penny. The views were out of this world . My 8 year old found it a little tiring but enjoyed it nonetheless. We were lucky with the weather as it was dry.
We all drank from the little stream which the kids enjoyed.
We were a party of 5 – 3 adults and 2 kids aged 13 and 8.
