All of the above is computed from Icefall Tours's own 4 product records, not from a questionnaire. Fleet size and typical group sizes are the figures a comparison table usually shows; Bókun does not carry them, so we would be guessing, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it in.
From the operator's own Bókun vendor record. The year is when the company's registration number was issued, which is the closest thing to a founding date that can be checked at skatturinn.is; the brand may be older or younger than the company. Their own site: icefall.is — same price there as here.
Google reviews of Icefall Tours as a company — not of one specific tour.
This was surely one of the most extraordinary experiences in my life!! We had a 5h tour in a very small group. The glacier is incredible and Laurent was a dream guide! I felt safe and taken care of all the time even though many things during the hike I was doing for the first time ever. I very much appreciated the huge knowlegde of our guide and a good sense of humor:) If you dream of a glacier tour you look no further - you’re gonna love it!

We had a really amazing experience on the glacier in Vatnajökull National Park. Laurent was an excellent guide. He took us safely across the ice and explained many interesting things about the glacier, like the moulins and other formations. He managed very well to make the hike enjoyable for us while also paying great attention to our safety. The glacier is beautiful and impressive, but it can also be dangerous, and Laurent handled everything with care. I am glad we chose Icefall Tours.

We joined the 6-hour glacier hike today and had an amazing experience! Our guide, Ási, was super friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the tour. He always made sure everyone was safe and even pointed out the best photo spots. The scenery was absolutely stunning — from the sparkling blue ice to the vast glacier views. It was truly unforgettable and one of the best parts of our Iceland trip. Highly recommend both the tour and our fantastic guide, Ási!

Wonderful experience on the glacier thanks to Icefall Tours. Our guide Jan was super friendly, helpful and transpires his passion for mountains, glaciers and hiking. Furthermore, we got a lot of good tipps for other tours and things to do/visit in the following days. We felt super safe throughout the whole tour. Thanks, we will definitely come back 🙏

No. We sell Icefall Tours's tours at the price they set, through their own booking system, so the seat costs the same here as on their site. What you get here in addition is one checkout for every tour in your trip, whoever runs it, and one place to turn if plans change.
None of the 4 Icefall Tours tours we sell includes a hotel pickup. Each tour page gives the meeting point — they start from Öræfi.
Free cancellation up to 2 days before the start. The exact window is printed on every tour page and in your confirmation, and a refund goes back to the card you paid with.
Their departures we sell start from Öræfi. Check the map on each tour page for the exact meeting point.
Guidance is in English, according to their own product records. Where a tour is audio-guided rather than led by a person, the tour page says so.
Yes, on 2 of their 4 tours, the lowest being 14. The rest set no minimum. The planner filters by your youngest traveller if you give it ages.
5.0 out of 5 on Google from 28 reviews of the company. That is the operator's score, not a rating of any one tour; our own guests' reviews of their tours, where we have them, are shown on this page and on the tour pages.
