This is an amazing experience but the hike is no joke. I was booked on this tour through the tour company I booked my Iceland tour with, so none in our group was aware of how strenuous this tour would be until we arrived at the site. I felt that the guide walked a bit fast on our hour-long hike to get to the glacier; he walks this route twice/day, he knows the terrain. I, on the other hand, do not, and have to be careful where I'm stepping and watch where I'm walking. I will admit, however, that he was very helpful once we arrived to the glacier and on the glacier itself. On our way back to the meeting area we merged with another group and everyone took off. I was the last person to arrive back, partly because I was tired but also because my feet were hurting due to having to rent their hiking boots (make sure you have high top hiking boots; I wear low cut hiking shoes and therefore had to rent boots, which was another thing we did not know until we arrived at the excursion). Being that there were 2 groups that morphed into one I would have assumed at least one guide would have stayed back to insure all guests returned to the starting area. For all anyone knew I fell, hit my head, and was unconscious somewhere along the trail. When I say there was no one around, there was NO ONE. Two individuals from the group I was traveling with eventually saw me and walked the remainder of the trail with me. My other concern was that a few individuals in the second group had their ice axes and crampons slung over their shoulders while they were walking. All it would take was for them to turn fast and someone would've had a pretty good laceration on their face from running into such a sharp object. These individuals were walking with a guide, who didn't say anything to them about safety or that it was probably not a good idea to walk with such sharp/dangerous objects slung over their shoulders.
Hi there, thanks for the thorough writeup. The glacier earning amazing is great to hear. The practical notes on the hike, the pace, and the boot requirements are useful for anyone planning this tour. Your feedback is passed along. Arctic Adventures Team
Our guide Steven was absolutely incredible, so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He went out of his way to show us things about the glacier the other guides weren't doing. Very open to sharing his experiences and all the questions we had. Highly recommend this tour with Steven and you'll fall in love with the glacier and mountains too.
Maybe the most fun hike I have ever done. The guide Francesco was fantastic and took us to one of the highest points we could get to on the glacier. Incredible views and a hike that really felt like an "only in Iceland" experience.
Dont use this company. Our booking was "small group guaranteed". When we showed up they had 44 people there and one guide doing the safety demo. We complained and they gave us a number to call for a refund. The refund was denied after the fact. These people will steal from you. You are better off booking from a competitor.
It was the kayak trip. Fantastic experience and very good guide- he was knowledgeable and relaxed while being concerned about our safety. 1st class equipment and smooth check in process.
Hi Bryan, knowledgeable and relaxed while still keeping safety front and center is the balance you want from a guide. Glad the equipment and check-in matched. Arctic Adventures Team
Very good experience, the guide was interesting and attentive to everyone and waited for us without ever saying anything, with a lot of patience. The glacier is well worth it, and even in the rain, everyone was happy to have done it. Note: it is much colder on the glacier, so do not hesitate to bring warmer clothes that you will only wear once on the ice.
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!
Hi Jack, two hours fully on the glacier learning how the ice formations got there is the part that separates a hike from an experience. Reasonable price and would do it again, that's the whole package. Come back for more! Arctic Adventures Team
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.
Hi Lynn, doing the glacier hike with your son is the kind of experience you'll both be talking about for years. Glad Sólheimajökull delivered for you. Arctic Adventures Team
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!
