Summary:
A fantastic day with IceTrolls. The sea trip with ribs is an experience in itself. It's amazing to get to the bridge and hear the knocking and see the calves in the sea. Before we then went to the glacier to both walk under and over the blue ice.
High quality equipment is delivered and not least the guides are world class!
A memory for life at the very least
man (6 years) and the adults!
Recommended on the warmest!

Summary:
It was our first time on a glacier and we enjoyed a lot this excursion, in spite of not ideal weather conditions (wind and rain). However, the guides provided us with a lot of technical security instructions so we felt quite confident and secured. Also they gave us many information about the glacier and its formation and evolution, which were quite interesting. The walk on the glacier was funny and at the end there was also a nice surprise...................hot chocolate!!! Very recommended for everyone!
