Top Memory of my Trip

Published on Dec, 2024

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!

Highlight of our holiday to Iceland!

Published on Nov, 2024

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!

Great Experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Being able to climb on a glacier wall was incredible. Just hiking out on the glacier is quite the experience. The guide was great.

An adventure to remember

Published on Sep, 2024

This tour is a must for everyone with a love for nature and action but it was our guide Marco who made this a tour to remember. His enthusiasm for mountains and the forces of nature could be felt from start to end. Thank you again for sharing it with us!

Fantastic Ice Climbing Experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

My partner and I recently partook in the glacier walk and ice climbing at Solheimajokull. The whole experience was smooth and without any hiccups. We were given all the gear, had a lovely hike to the base of the glacier and then began our ascent up and into the glacier. It was gorgeous - I couldnt believe how beautiful the whole area was. Vibrant green moss-covered mountains with waterfalls, icebergs in the glacier lagoon, and the glacier itself with its deep blues. Our French guide Kevin was fantastic - so knowledgeable about the glacier and extremely friendly. We felt safe the whole time and had a blast. A highlight of our trip. Would recommend!
