Climbing the glacier was fun and exciting. My only wish is that we could have moved a bit faster. Some in the group were slower than others, so as a group we went pretty slow. It might be wise to break groups down in to levels of ability.

Avec notre super guide Geert, on a passé un moment extraordinaire. Ce n'est pas souvent dans une vie de Français qu'on pagaye entre les icebergs! On a une impression de sérénité incroyable et de communion avec ces icebergs. A recommander pour tous

Our glacier walk was simply amazing! Hanna, our fantastic guide, provided crampons and an ice ax for the journey. The experience and scenery were truly breathtaking.
