ayanamisloverA unique experience — absolutely worth doing once, but think twice about the long hike
Glacier Lodge Eqi is genuinely a very special place, and I’m glad I stayed here for one night.
The biggest reason to stay overnight is the glacier itself. Watching Eqi in the evening light and again early in the morning was absolutely stunning. You can sit in front of the glacier for hours, hear the incredibly loud cracking and calving sounds, and occasionally watch pieces of ice fall into the water. Even relatively small pieces of ice can make an unbelievable amount of noise. The sunset and early-morning views alone made the overnight stay memorable.
I stayed in one of the renovated glamping tents. For anyone wondering about the facilities in 2026: the tent did have electricity, power sockets and an air-conditioning/heating unit, so the information shown on Trip was correct. This was very useful for charging cameras, phones and power banks. The heating struggled somewhat later at night, but overall the tent itself was perfectly fine for a remote location like this.
The biggest issue during my stay was the insects. There were an unbelievable number of tiny flying insects, especially when the wind dropped. At times there were literally hundreds flying around me. A mosquito/head net was essential. If you are particularly sensitive to insects, I would seriously consider avoiding the main summer insect season, roughly June to September, or at least come very well prepared with a head net, gloves and appropriate clothing.
My strongest advice, however, is about the long hike above the glacier.
Unless you genuinely enjoy hiking for its own sake, I would personally skip it.
I spent more than five hours doing the hike. It was physically exhausting, and the final few kilometres were particularly tiring. The view from the higher ground is certainly nice and gives you a broader perspective of the glacier, but in my opinion it is not dramatically better than the views you already get from the lodge area. After five hours of walking, my reaction at the top was essentially: “Is that it?”
Do not feel that you have to do the hike simply because it is included/free. The real highlight of Eqi is being able to stay beside the glacier through the evening and morning, not exhausting yourself trying to reach a slightly higher viewpoint. If photography is your main goal, a drone — where legally permitted and safely operated — would probably provide a much more interesting elevated perspective with considerably less effort.
So overall:
The location and glacier experience are fantastic.
The sunset and morning views are genuinely exceptional.
Staying overnight is worth considering, especially for a first visit.
Bring serious protection against insects in summer.
And unless you love hiking, skip the long hike and spend those hours simply enjoying the glacier instead.
I would happily recommend Eqi as a unique once-in-a-lifetime experience. If I came back again, though, I would spend my time relaxing in front of the glacier rather than doing another five-hour hike.

Travelling is an eye opener. I came across the worst rudest Front Desk person , Heidi. I booked a Seaview Executive Room, but was given one with a view of a broken hut on some stones. Heidi at the Front Desk said , ” You booked through *******, so we cannot change for you.”. I said ,” I paid extra to have a seaview room snd it is printed out on my voucher. .” ... Heidi said ” ******* made a mistake, our hotel is full, we cannot change room for you”.I said I need to take photo of your name plate to complain against you” . Heidi said , ”It is against the law here for you to take a photo of me, I will call the Police” ...She stormed into the manager's room. Her manager, Renee, was more reasonable. We were offered a seaview room in the end. I hope that this very bad experience was not because I am asian.
The rooftop restaurant is good because of it staff, its view. I should have taken photo of the 'broken hut view' room.

Great to stay several nights, the room was cozy enough for staying alone and the breakfast was good enough. See View with iceberg was just fascinating. Free transit service from and to airport was great service provided (one way trip by taxi from airport is about 150dkk)

非常舒適的旅館,提供來回免費的機場接送。早餐很好吃,雖然簡單,但是有美味的麵包,優格,咖啡,已經足夠吃的很滿足了。窗外就可以看到整片冰海,還可以欣賞夕陽,我們晚上甚至直接在住宿旁邊看到了極光。唯一缺點就是距離鎮上有一點距離,走路大概要15分鐘。然後就是沒有開放使用的廚房,沒辦法自己下廚。
