AMAZING!!! - It was absolutely amazing! I have zero complaints just praise and our guide Antoine was very friendly, funny and just absolutely mint. He was up for getting in our TikTok’s and photos, he was so chilled out and supportive and educated us on the glacier itself in easy to understand terms. The glacier itself wasn’t too physically demanding but I’d recommend having a little snack and using the toilet before you go up.

Glacie - It is super fun. Our guide Edgar was great. It is hard to describe the beauty of the Glacier mixed in with volcanic ash.

Wonderful glacier hike! - Amazing hike on the glacier with lots of fun facts and photo moments to remember the commemorable day. The glacier is incredibly impressive. We thought it would be challenging, but our tour guide, Beda, made sure we felt safe and secure. With some funny jokes in between, he taught us everything to know about the history and area around the glacier. An experience to remember! Thank you :D

Brilliant tour - great experience - The glacier is stunning, so well worth seeing it up close. Our guide was great. The time includes setup and walking to glacier, so you may want to consider a longer tour for more time on the glacier!

A Must-Do While in Iceland! - This was an absolutely incredible experience! Our guide, Filip, was super friendly and knowledgeable about glacier formations and specifically the history and stories behind Solheimajokull itself. It was a nice active workout, with spectacular view and we learned a lot, too! Highly recommend. While some parts werea bit rigorous (some fairly steep climbs), it was paced easily enough that everyone could keep up.

10/10 experience - The absolute top experience we had while in Iceland. Filip and Adam were fantastic the second we arrived and so helpful. Filip was incredibly knowledgeable and a really fun guide. The groups were small and manageable and would 10/10 recommend.
