Daniel, our hiking and...

Daniel, our hiking and climbing guide, was fantastic. His knowledge, humor, expertise, and skill set was perfect for our group. He made us feel safe and let us be adventurous all at once. I would highly recommend Daniel for your glacier hike and climb.

Sólheimajökull Ice Climbing and Glacier Walk

Rachel_M, Dec 2025

Amazing!! Would definitely recommend

This was so much fun!! Highly recommend doing this before the glacier melts and you can’t anymore. Although me and my friends had never gone ice pik climbing or glacier hiking, we felt super safe since our guide was very experienced and made sure we were harnessed, had crampons, etc. Thankfully we all had plenty of hiking & skiing experience, which was good because this activity was quite the hike and definitely required some stamina and muscles. There were also folks in our group who had done this before, and they also enjoyed it, so I think this is good both for beginners and those with experience.

Small-Group Ice Climbing and Glacier Hiking in Solheimajokull

Ann_M, Oct 2025

Just Wow!!!

This was hands down the best thing we did in Iceland! Our guide was so patient and kind. Having a small group was well worth the money to allow everyone ample time to climb. It was my family of four and father and daughter combo. My boys are 10 and 13 and ice climbed 40 ft.! I was so proud of them. The views were breathtaking and we had a perfect day of weather. Such an awesome experience!!!

Solheimajokull Glacier 3-Hour Small-Group Hike

Do this tour!

Solheimajokull 3 hour glacier hike. This was an amazing hike. Our guide Eli was fantastic and made the trip safe and exciting. We hiked pretty far up on the glacier and saw how they measure the change in size of the glacier over the season. It was a bit harder to walk on the glacier than I thought even with the cramp-ons provided, but I would 100% recommend everyone take this tour.
