Review of the family-friendly Sólheimajökull glacier hike, with crampons, expert guides, ice formations, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“One of the highlights of our trip to Iceland! The hike wasn't too strenuous, at no point did we feel we were being physically pushed but at the same time we covered so much ground. They took safety precautions serious, so at no time did we feel unsafe. I would definitely recommend to anyone. Our tour guide Daniel was fantastic.

“Great experience, awesome guide named Sam. My family and I had a great time in our small group of about 12 (6 were our family). Our guide told us about the history of the glacier and the area. He took time to share safety tips and ensured that we were safe the entire time. The company’s equipment was great, we rented boots from them as well. Highly recommend.”

“Our guide, Lilly was AMAZING! She was energetic, fun and caring. She made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. She was great with the adults (my wife and I) as well as our children (8&11). In fact I think my 8 year old is now wanting to be an ice-climber. As far as the experience itself, it is a must do in Iceland. If you don't have it on your itinerary, don't leave Iceland without experiencing it!”
