Small Group Glacier Experience from Solheimajokull Glacier

We had so much fun on the arctic walk! This was a perfect adventure for our honeymoon and convenient if you are traveling on the south coast. We would highly recommend!

Seeing the gletsjer with awesome guide Nicole. She had Nice stories and know alot about the gletsjer.

The glacier was amazing. Great stopping points for informative facts and questions. Guide was very helpful with gear and safety. No worries throughout. If you have reasonable balance, this is very doable. If always looking for handrails, not for you.

Gaia (our guide) was great! She was super personable and taught us a lot about the glacier and Iceland in general. The glacier itself is great and the hike really allows you to get up close and personable.

We ended up not even doing the tour. We were in the parking lot well before the tour started. Our tour started at 1:30- I went up to the yellow bus as the directions state at 1:00. The instructions on the bus read that if your tour starts at 1:30 then be there at 1:30. But, online the instructions say to be there at least 15 minutes early to get everything ready. So at around 1:15 I got out of our car again because I saw a guide- asked her what we should do and she said if your tour starts at 1:30 then meet here at 1:30. Went back in the car. A group from reykavich drove in on a van around 1:25- they started helping all of them get ready for the tour. At 1:30 we got out of our car and stood right by everyone else getting ready looking around for a guide and no one was helping us. At 1:45 we still were not acknowledged so, we decided to leave due to no help from anyone and honestly did not feel welcome. We had to pay full price because they would not give us a refund and they stated we were late… Completely untrue. We did do a glacier cave hike tour the day before with Guide to Iceland and would highly recommend them again at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. Everyone there was very helpful and pleasant to be around.

The most memorable part of the experience was how great my tour guide Steven was! He was very educational on glaciers and really took his time to make sure everyone was served.

Had a great time hiking on the glacier. Our guide was knlowedgabwle and committed to safety at all times. All equipment was provided, the price was right, and we got some terrific views at the top.

It is really exciting to hike on the glacier, knowing that the ice is thousands of years old. It is amazing how the different weather conditions shape the glacier. Our tour guide Francesco waited for us in the morning to give us a good introduction to the rules how to behave and what to do in case of any unforeseen circumstances/situations. He really took care of all the participants needs and kept the pace relatively to the average condition of the group. He explained a lot about the glacier on a few stops on it. Foto stops were also nicely considered and all in all we felt very save with him. At this point many thanks to Francesco for that really unique experience on our last day before returning home.

We really enjoyed the Glacier Hike with Simon and are so glad we did the tour. There were some things that could be improved however. The getting ready period is very long - be prepared to stand in the cold for over an hour as part of this. It also wasn't really a 'small group' there were 16 of us in our group. It felt like we missed out on more time because of the size of the group. If you're keen to get a really in depth glacier experience I would definitely advise a private group - we think it would be worth the money to get more time for this incredible experience. Despite this, we still had a great time and would certainly recommend it regardless.

We booked quite late on to this glacier experience as a final thing to do for our holiday. As someone with no climbing experience and who is scared of heights, I was a bit hesitant. The trip started off slow, getting geared up and having safety briefs but the experience itself was incredible. The walk went a significant distance onto the glacier giving the most incredible views. The provided equipment and instructors meant we felt really safe and secure and able to fully enjoy the experience. The guide was fab giving us great details and really completing the experience. The best three hours! I wouldn’t recommend to everyone.
