Solheimajokull Glacier 3-Hour Small-Group Hike

Ale our guide was excellent. He kept. us save all the time and explain everything. Nice experience, ask for Ale, the Spanish guide he speaks English very well.

We had a great hike with Alex who hailed from Spain and working for Troll.IS. Drinking fresh glacial water via Viking Press position was fun and we also learned various terms causing different water formations. Both Viator and Troll were very accommodating to our change from 5 to 4 participants due to injury before the glacier hike.

This was a great glacier hike! It was challenging but nothing too crazy. The tour guides were fun and provided a great experience - they were fun and knowledgeable. Five stars - would recommend!

We did the glaciar hike with Eliska and Wey (I apologize if the names are misspelled). They were knowledgeable, patient and funny. We enjoyed the hike and felt very comfortable even though it was our first time walking in a glaciar. If your are an expert glaciar hiker this tour is not for you. If this is your first time and need an easy but cool experience then this tour is for you.

Can’t say enough great things about this hike and our guide Maggie in particular! An wonderful three hour excursion for me and my 18 year old daughter. Maggie was so much fun, hysterical and so knowledgeable. The hike itself was incredible and unlike anything I’ve ever done before. Highly recommend!

Maggie is an awesome guide! A truly memorable experience. The glacier was magnificent. A very doable climb.

So the tour guide was great, I believe her name was Sarah. We booked the night before and it was a 9:30 am start time-had no problems. The instructions were to get there 20 minutes early which we did, unfortunately we had to wait for the rest of the group arriving by tour bus. This says small groups but there were probably 16 ppl on the bus. They didnt arrive till past start time and then had to make a pit stop in the middle of the tour guide's instructions on how to put on the gear, i.e. crampons. Pretty sure we started hiking to the glacier an hour late and then one older lady who had a hard time keeping up and another person had back injuries that made climbing dificult and slow. Overall glad I got to see the glacier but didnt get to see as much as I would hav liked bc of the amount of ppl and the various degrees of ability of the group. Not sure what they consider a small group to be but this was misleading.

Glacier hike with Nanna. Adventurous trip. Memorable experience never imagined could walk on ice after all the slips and falls on icy roads in Iceland.

This was a highlight of our trip to Iceland. Amazing experience and views from the top. I would recommend for everyone to take the hike up the glacier.

Had this tour been in America, you would have put all the gear on, walked to the bottom portion of the glacier, and taken a few good photos to send home. This was an authentic glacier hike where you got to hike to the top and really get the full experience. No climbing is necessary using harnesses or pick axes, just basic crampons, hiking boots, and a pick axe to help as a walking stick. I’d imagine this is much easier in the warmer months when the ice is soft. Had it been winter and the ice was more frozen, it’d be a lot more slippery. I’d say it is fine for all ages as long as you are in good shape. Our guide was great, spoke perfect English, and was able to provide some insight on Icelandic culture.
