The staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They explained the entire process of glaciers, stopped for breaks and pictures, and helped when needed. It was beautiful, a good workout, run by great people.

One of the best experiences of my life! Thanks to Francesco, our fabulous guide. I can't believe the beauty.

The tour was beautiful and not at all difficult thanks to our guide Daniel. He did a terrific job preparing us before the hike and took breaks and shared interesting facts about the glacier. We had a couple people who were struggling a little and he did a wonderful job making everyone feel like they can manage the hike. I do recommend starting off with fewer layers on because I did get warm and needed to remove my hat and coat.

Daniel was an excellent guide. He was clear in his instructions and guidance as he brought us through the glacier. I also appreciated him bringing us through more unexplored areas of the glacier and showing us unique features of it.

Our Sólheimajökull Glacier Hike with Steve was nothing short of amazing! His expert navigating and deep knowledge made the experience both safe and fascinating—he taught us so much about glaciers and the natural beauty of the region as we explored. The day started off a little rainy, but right as we began hiking onto the glacier, the skies cleared and gave us the perfect conditions for the adventure. It was truly unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend this hike with Steve—it’s a remarkable experience you’ll never forget!

Excellent experience, beautiful day hike (2.5 miles round trip from start to finish). Our first time hiking a Glacier & it did not disappoint. Family of 3 (adults) with varied fitness levels. Two with hiking experience, one novice; Monica & Franco (guides) were great & made all comfortable & safe! A highlight of our week in Iceland!
