5.006 guests (3x pairs) with Ivo who was a knowledgeable and experienced guide. He had a radio and all the safety equipment to rig ropes so we could climb comfortably. We were told about the glacier, volcano, his past and future trips. He also is a photographer so we've got some great memories captured. We did 5xice climbing routes, with boots, crampons, helmet, ice axe & harness provided. The distance estimate was accurate, Garmin recorded 8km with 345m elevation over nearly 7 hours. Comfortable walking pace for the whole group which varied in heights and gender. We climb/via ferrata so are used to hiking, and we were so tired after this trip! Worth it. Take your waterproofs (trousers too), gloves, lots of food and water. Thank you, Ivo!
The Highlight of Our Iceland Trip!

5.00Ice climbing with Ivo was an absolutely amazing experience and without a doubt the highlight of our entire trip to Iceland. Ivo was the perfect guide – highly professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly funny. From the very beginning, he made everyone feel comfortable and safe, and it was clear that we were in very capable hands. He explained everything clearly, adapted to different skill levels, and made sure everyone enjoyed the experience. Throughout the tour, we learned a lot of interesting new things about ice climbing, glaciers, and the surrounding nature, which made the adventure even more memorable. The whole experience was great fun from start to finish, with plenty of laughs along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland. If you have the chance to go ice climbing with Ivo, don’t hesitate – it was one of the best experiences of our trip and something we will never forget.

5.00I did the tour together with three friends. It was only the four of us, but would have been also okay with two more people I guess, so perfect crowd size. Our Guide was Ivo, who was very nice and funny and supportive. He explained everything well and often let us decide what to do next, we could also choose to stay a bit longer. He also took a lot of nice pictures from us. It was completely worth the money as we had the most perfect glacier experience. We had so much fun and felt safe all the time. I will never forget that beautiful day!
Super fun and adventurous experience!

5.00This was so much fun and one of the highlights of our Iceland trip! Our guide, Rob, was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and patient with all of us. He made us feel very safe considering we've never hiked a glacier before. The hike went on pretty much all day and only has like 6 people making it more intimate and personalized. One thing I recommend for people booking is to wear thick socks or wrap their ankles because the hiking boots they provided cut up the back of my ankle on my Achilles tendon. Overall, highly recommend this to everyone! It's definitely worth the price.
Best activity we did in Iceland!
