“Amazing experience. Glad we got to see this glacial ice cave. This one was really blue and large, plus another open end to see the full spectrum of colors. This one will degrade by end of season they said but so great to see it before it sadly goes. There were quite a few groups in there but really wasn’t awfully crowded. Good job spacing out. Robert was great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Stopped along the way back to look at reindeer off to the side even made the jeep ride fun. Compared to other operators and groups our seemed very chill and enjoyable.”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
