Our driver was about 20-25 minutes late to pick us up. Starting with delay at -10 degrees Celsius in the morning kind of put us down. Also, we just realized that we did not read the description fully, even though it says “full day” in the title, duration of actual hiking is 2-2.5 hours. You spend about 4-5 hours on the way. Overall it was good to have some water and snacks our driver had ready for us and see the glaciers and taking pictures/videos with them. It is extremely cold, especially you are taking the snowmobile sled to the start point if your face is not fully covered you will freeze. Make sure to have your face all covered and wear snow goggles and put on proper snow boots. One of our friends could not complete the last 30% since her boot was not good enough.
