This was an amazing adventure!! Our guide, Guiseppe (sorry if this is spelled wrong), was awesome!! He talked us through everything we saw not just at the volcano site but on the way as well. He answered every question with a ton of Information that really enriched our experience. Highly recommend this trip and Guiseppe!! When I come back I will book this again to see what has changed.

I highly recommend this incredible experience! I can’t believe how far we were able to go onto the glacier. Being in a small group was special and allowed us to experience activities and parts of the glacier larger groups were unable to. Our guide was knowledgeable, charismatic, and made us feel safe.

Parece um lugar tirado dos sonhos!

The snowmobiling on the glacier was absolutely fabulous, the guides were helpful at explaining the safety rules and supportive of all levels of experience. The ride to and from was also an experience. We would highly recommend
