All of the above is computed from Blue Iceland's own 5 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: blueiceland.is — same price there as here.

CHOOSE BLUE ICELAND! We went on a glacier/ice cave tour with Oscar and Maggie (?). Oscar led our group. He was a very knowledgeable and safety- conscious guide. I was enthralled by all that he shared about the glacier and Iceland. I can't recommend a better guide! He was patient and made sure we were safe the entire time, even though the weather made it seem like we were on a trek across the Arctic. And, he managed to find half a dozen ice caves, even though it was near white-out conditions. We had to wrap the tour up early, and had some challenges getting back to the lagoon, but Maggie was reassuring and I had confidence in their ability to lead us back safely. Once back at the lagoon, they told us that all the roads were closed and asked everyone to follow them to a farm not far away, where we could get hot food and wait for the roads to open. The weather got worse and everyone managed to find a place to stay for the night (two hotels on the farm) to wait out the storm. This company is caring, kind and not just about making money from tourists. They showed us the best side of Iceland and those who live in this amazing country. If you are in doubt about what company to choose, choose this one!

*5 stars for 3 hours hike Summer Treasure - Glacier Discovery - with our guide LUCY* Really great hike with Lucy - only 9 people in our group, from Jokulsarlon on Vatnojokull glacier. It is a 30 minute ride to the glacier, then you put on your microspikes. Not many people on this glacier (Compared to Solheimajokul glacier which was VERY busy). We got to go into some crevices, as well as peer down some of the holes (harnessed). Nice hike and experience also for my 9--year old. Next time, would like to try the 6 hour hike. Note: the meeting point at the busy Jokulsarlon meeting area is not at the cafe...you have to go to the Bus parking lot, and find a truck that is labelled Blue Iceland - you meet at the bus.

This tour was absolutely awe inspiring. It was a once in a lifetime experience. We did the long day glacier hike and cave. Definitely worth it. Got a great 10% discount by staying in guesthouse Gerdi. The guide was really knowledgeable and taught us loads about the glacier and the characteristics of the area. The gear we got was top quality. Be sure to dress well though as its very cold in winter. The guide took loads of photos too which he sent afterwards. I would 100% would recommend this company.

This tour was amazing!! We got to see a bunch of the ice caves on top of the glacier! We went into a huge monster truck and traveled over bumpy off beat roads to arrive at the glacier. Then they gave us ice spikes for our shoes. The whole experience was so exciting and unique and we got to explore the beautiful caves! And our tour guide was very nice. Highly recommended tour while in Iceland!
