Awesome trip, we did the ebikes and hike option with Julia guiding I highly recommend it, it’s a new trip and was a fun ride to the start of the trail and then a brilliant walk through the valley to view
point. Slightly different to the heli trips but a great alternative. Julia was very knowledgeable and paced the trip really well.

Fox Trot - Half Day Glacier Walk.
Well worth the money, the guides were very informative and showed us things that usually only a full day tour get to see - cave and crevasse when available!

Helihike.
Really good experience. The view and the helicopter trip was awesome but too short for me if you compare the price and the trip. Hiking on the glacier was nice.

Unique experience, a must to do for all the lovers of nature, learn a few interesting things about the glacier.
Thanks to our tour guide Sofia, the only disappointing thing was that we spent only 1 hour on the ice.

We had a full day trip which was nice.
You get a lot of 'ice-time'. With a half day trip you only just get to the ice and then go back again. Great guidance with good information, professionalism and safety in focus.

The best way to experience the glacier, great guides, good information.
