All of the above is computed from Ice Explorers's own 3 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: explorers.is — same price there as here.
Google reviews of Ice Explorers as a company — not of one specific tour.
Our glacier tour was an unforgettable experience. Walking across the ice and visiting the breathtaking ice cave felt truly magical. Everything was well organized and the scenery was absolutely stunning. A special thank you to our amazing guides, Barbara and Guillermo. They were incredibly professional, friendly, and made the whole adventure both safe and exciting. Their positive energy made this tour even more memorable. Highly recommended.

We had the chance to go on a glacier tour with the lovely Zusana to visit some ice caves that had formed there. Just the drive there was an adventure in itself. It was a breathtaking experience to hike on a glacier for the first time. The caves we were allowed to explore were truly impressive. A big thank you to Zusana, who was not only incredibly friendly but also very knowledgeable and told us a great deal about the glacier and the ice caves. Thank you so much for this wonderful afternoon! Spikes and helmets are provided on site.

This tour was one of my favorite experiences in Iceland. Learning about the glacier, and seeing the effects of climate change up close was very inspiring. The guide, Guillermo, did an amazing job as well!

Our guide, Javier, was so wonderful. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and cool. He made us all feel so safe and comfortable. We throughly enjoyed viewing all of the different ice caves and such. Would recommend this tour (specifically w Javier) a million times over!

No. We sell Ice Explorers'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 3 Ice Explorers tours we sell includes a hotel pickup. Each tour page gives the meeting point — they start from Höfn í Hornafirði, Höfn, Hornafjørdur.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours 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 Höfn í Hornafirði, Höfn, Hornafjørdur. 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.

4.8 out of 5 on Google from 600 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.
