We had so much fun on our glacier hike and climb! Maria was an amazing guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the glacier and taught us a lot. The climb was super fun too, challenging but manageable! There was very little time standing around or waiting for others. Highly recommend!

Lilly was a wonderful guide and did a great job explaining how to ice climb. We enjoyed the experience and the glacier walk.

This was an incredible experience and the highlight of our trip to Iceland. We were 4 adults and all really enjoyed our time on the glacier and ice climbing. I wish we would have had more time to do another climb!

Edgar and Louis were fantastic! We have some experience climbing and they took us to a spot we were still able to have an amazing time climbing! Edgar made the glacier hike fun and we got awesome photos for us. Definitely a highlight of our trip.

We had an awesome time hiking and ice climbing (ages 52, 21, 20). Louis was a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and encouraging. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

We had an amazing four hours on the Solheimajukull Glacier with our amazing tour guide Joao, who was competence and kindness and humour personified. We got to explore, climb down and up a crevasse, and generally appreciate the awesomeness of Mother Nature. It was very windy and cold but the sun was shining and Joao made everything seem easy and fun. He assured us when we needed it and hugged us (okay, me) when we needed it. He made the four hours go by quickly (no mean feat!) and left us with unforgettable memories!

Luis was awesome! The other guest on the tour never showed up so it was just me and him! I had an absolute blast and the views were incredible!

This was my favourite part of our trip to Iceland! I was a little hesitant to book with the price, but it was completely worth it. You are supplied with appropriate shoes for the ice crampons so just bring stuff to keep you warm! Our guide Luis made the experience very enjoyable and he was very knowledgeable about the glacier and Iceland in general. Got to do two climbs in two different areas and then some exploration of the glacier. No previous experience needed and couldn't recommend this trip highly enough. Got some very cool photos and was an unforgettable experience!
