★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,123 reviews · from $116Our pick

Hike Sólheimajökull with crampons, an ice axe, and a certified guide, exploring crevasses, moulins, tunnels, and glacier views.

“We very much enjoyed the glacier hike. It was raining that day but the hike was still fantastic. The only thing I would change is how much time we had on the glacier. This was not the company’s fault but some people on our trip were not able to travel as fast or as far. Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Overall a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it.”

The guides made it fun and enjoyable. The bus ride stops at the waterfalls were great for us as we weren’t getting to those waterfalls any other time during our trip.”

Review of Sólheimajökull ice climbing and glacier walking near Vik, with gear, guides, costs, fitness needs, itinerary, and booking advice.

“One of the highlights of our trip! We did glacier hiking and ice climbing with Boris on Solheimajokull. Boris was an amazing guide, explaining to us in just the right amount of detail about glaciers. The trail was done with utmost professionalism. Whilst my husband and I were new to ice climbing, we felt completely safe, and got the chance to try two climbs at different locations. We also appreciated the small group size of 5 people (compared to other tours where there seemed to be 10-15 people). Would highly recommend this experience to others looking for a bit of adventure!”

“I cannot say enough good things about this tour and Valerio. We had the absolute best time, a highlight of our trip to Iceland for sure! Valerio made us feel comfortable and safe. He is super knowledgeable about the glacier and we learned a lot of interesting information along the way. He adapted to our abilities and we were able to explore some incredible areas of the glacier away from the crowds. I never thought I’d be able to ice climb but Valerio gave me confidence and training to make it possible. Truly an incredible experience, cannot recommend it enough.”
