Experience of a lifetime on top of the Solheimajokull Glacier in Iceland

Published on Nov, 2024

Every citizen of rhe world within this reasonable travel distance from Reykavik should visit Solheimajokull Glacier to understand the severity of our planetary climate emergency. You see a magnificent and stark reminder of how our actions are playing out in the form of this retreating glacier. You can see this from the safety of a viewing area. But if you are up for it, walking up on it is the experience of a lifetime. And for that you need a guide. This was my first experience as an older but reasonably fit (not super-fit) woman. Evan was the perfect guide for me and our small friend group of varying degrees of fitness and age. He is a deeply caring naturalized citizen of Iceland who has all the technical skills and experience, with the patience, kindness and sense of fun that elevates an adventure. You can't go wrong with Evan.

Fantastic experience!

My husband and I booked this super last minute and it was genuinely one of the most fun things I’ve ever done!!! I could not recommend more. Our guide was amazing and made the whole experience so fun!

Ice climbing a glacier with 3 friends

Published on Aug, 2024

The coolest guy and the most fun experience! If you want a fun and personal experience of Iceland this is the way to go! Worth every penny and then some! I went ice climbing with three friends and we all had an amazing experience you will not regret booking this!!!!!

Amazing experience, highly recommend

Published on Aug, 2024

This was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience! Evangelos took my 3 friends and I ice climbing at the sólheimajökull glacier. It was a private and personalized tour, something you don't get with the larger tour companies. We went to a few different climbing spots, increasing in difficulty as we became more confident on the glacier. It truly was an awesome experience, I highly recommend booking with Hyperborea Tours!
