The hike and views were absolutely phenomenal! It was about 4 hours of hiking, with about two of them fully on the glacier. Our tour guide was absolutely amazing and pointed out tons of ice formations on the glacier and how they formed. There was a large group of people at the meeting point and orientation, but they had multiple guides and we broke off into groups of roughly 15 people at most. This tour would be good for anybody from solo travelers to large family or friend groups. And the admission cost felt very reasonable for the experience we got. I'd have no problem doing this tour again and recommending it to friends!
My son and I did the glacier hike this week and it was wonderful. Our guide was amazing and the views on the hike were breathtaking - such a wonderful experience.
Our guide, Daniel Soares, was amazing. He led us on quite the adventure- explained much of the history of the glacier and led us to some amazing sights for photos. We had a great time and have so far found it the most amazing part of an absolutely fantastic family vacation. Truly one of a kind experience. While this was something we have never done before, we felt safe the entire time with Daniel's excellent leadership and calm demeanor. I knew we were all well taken care of and I was able to just enjoy the time with my kids knowing we were in good hands.
Bring waterproof pants if you have them!! Its not an easy or beginner hike. We went in August and it was great!
Arctic Adventures with Monica and the other gentleman from Italy (I forgot your name - I'm sorry!) was excellent. I've had limited experience with glacier exploration and I've never ice climbed before but I am a very experienced hiker. Our guides made it so fun and educational and I felt supported and safe throughout the whole experience. I highly recommended this group and this particular adventure to anyone who wants to get up close and personal - exploring a living glacier in Iceland - and to challenge themselves to try something new. I felt really surprised and proud that I could do ice climbing and would definitely do this again!
Dear Shannon, thank you for taking the time to write this. Glad the ice climbing challenge felt supported and safe, and that it turned into something you're proud of. Wishing you safe travels onwards. Arctic Adventures Team
Be prepared for Icelandic weather. We had rain on and off for four hours. Waterproof clothes were important to have. It was a GREAT experience. It wasn’t an easy hike but it was very doable. Pietro was our guide and he was wonderful. He modulated the pace for some people in our group who needed a little more time. Being on the glacier was interesting and a bit otherworldly. Bring layers and enjoy a memorable experience!
I wasn't sure what to expect but we had an amazing time. We went in August and really only needed a tshirt with rain gear. Our tour involved about a 4 mile hike, sometimes very steep. I noticed in our group and others that older people and kids struggled quite a bit, I would not really recommend those people join this tour unless they are in great shape as you will hold your group back. We were often stopping to wait for the families with kids to catch up and eventually our guide sent them back because they could not keep up or handle the terrain. I feel our tour was cut short from this, although the guide did her absolute best in handling it. On the glacier is incredible and breathtaking. You don't want to miss this tour, and I wish we could've done an even longer one. Be sure to stop at the Soup Company in Vik afterwards for a warm and comforting lunch if you love soup.
The trip lasted longer than expected (4.5 hours) and was NOT an easy hike. My group also had ~15 people which i would not consider a small group. I would likely have not signed up for a 4.5 hour moderate difficulty hike. However, the experience was otherwise as advertised.
Because of the changing of the Glacier, routes may be changed. Understand this is a moderate hike. The excellent guides will lead you safely through every step, but know your limitations before you start for everyone's safety.
Best tour guide Casper helped us to have fun and safe. Highly recommend this tour.
Hi there, thanks for your recommendations. Sólheimajökull is a unique piece of ice and it sounds like the guide made sure you enjoyed every step of it. Arctic Adventures Team
