Testimonials

From Simone

Dear Arctic Adventures
I’d like to thank you for making my recent trip to Iceland such a wonderful experience.  I took a variety of winter activities with you and thoroughly enjoyed them all.

Meo and Lisa were perfect guides for the Glacier climbing trip.  They had an ideal balance between making the trip fun and exciting, yet also safe.  I learnt a lot on the trip, with Meo teaching me just enough at each stage,  without me feeling overloaded with information.  They both made me feel extremely comfortable asking questions, and I felt in extremely safe hands.

Laurent was a wonderful friendly guide for the snorkelling trip, again instilling confidence, while maintaining a fun and friendly atmosphere.  I would really like to thank him for going the extra mile to make the Northern lights hunt happen.  Despite the unpredictable weather and snowfall, he ensured that we didn’t miss out on a thing.  

The knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm of your guides made my holiday a terrific experience which I will remember for a very long time.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you.
 
Thank you
Simone Hunter

Blue Ice - School Edition, Glacier Hike and Ice Climbing Tour in Iceland

School Edition
Glacier Hiking & Ice Climbing Tour at Sólheimajökull in Iceland
Trip difficulty ranges from 2 - 3 out of 5 possible

Here is your chance to visit a glacier and not just any glacier, this trip will take you to the frozen glacial tongue that is Sólheimajökull. It is a magnificent phenomenon, a rugged, raw and ever changing hub of ancient frozen water. We will explore the crevasse riddled outlet glacier with its amazing ice formations, sink holes and jagged ridges accompanied by an experienced glacier guide. Along the way we will find an ice wall on the glacier and try our hand at ice climbing. We will provide you with all the tools you need: ice axes, crampons and safety lines, making sure you are very safe as you brave the heights. As we drive back to Reykjavik we will stop at the beautiful Skógafoss waterfall.

On this trip you get to see and do what most of the population will only dream about and very few ever try. Why not be adventurous and explore the amazing crawling glacier?

The Blue Ice can be added to our 5 day multi adventure trip and is included on our bestselling weekend trip. Both trips offer great adventures for an unbeatable price.
