We’ve done the climbing expedition at Sólheimajökull with Elias as a guide (best guide ever, we lived moments which will forever in our memories!). BEST MOMENT of our adventure trip so far. We highly recommend this expedition. Thank you Elias and Troll Expeditions for all these experiences ! ♥️

Ondrej was an amazing guide who told us all about the glacier and was patient with us in a way to make sure that we enjoyed every moment. Hike was beautiful and ice climbing was a great time for my wife and myself. Highly recommend especially if you can get Ondrej as a guide, he made a great experience even better.

Our glacier hike and ice climb was so incredible! Our guide Zuza was so informative and fun which made the experience even better! We were able to stop multiple times so we could get pictures and she was so patient and helpful when we were climbing. I would highly recommend this tour

I’m sure the tour is great but ours was cancelled due to the weather. Totally understandable because the clouds and wind did roll in shortly after. The part I had an issue with was the lack of communication. I, along with other groups, showed up at the meeting time to find out it was cancelled earlier in the day. We didn’t get a cancellation notification until the next day- around 36 hours later. They also cancelled the tour the next day so we booked a glacier hike with another tour group.

Very informative tour guide who paid close attention to safety and giving us the best experience possible. She said we could climb 1-3 times based on timing and each of us got to climb twice. Small group of 6 climbers. Was a really fun time to learn to ice climb and hike on the glacier and I would definitely recommend!

Terrific and fun experience for first-time ice climbing. Gustavo was an excellent guide- patient, knowledgeable, funny, and made everyone feel comfortable. My group of 3 woman had a great time and would recommend this tour and Gustavo as guide.

Couldn't find the guide and they left without me with no phone call and then wouldn't offer a refund or even a date change.

Great hike and clump. Guide was awesome and I’d highly recommend. Walk up to climb was lots of fun, small group with time for two climbs, first bing relatively easy with second adding some complexity. Trip was just over 4 hours from check-in to return.

OMG! What an incredible experience! Truly something I will never forget. I have hiking experience but not climbing experience. Our guide was absolutely wonderful...patient, knowledgable, a good teacher, and made me feel safe. The adrenaline rush is something I've never felt before and I just felt so accomplished and proud of myself at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this one in a lifetime experience.

BAHASA MELAYU: Ini tour sangat hebat. Instruktor mahir dalam kraft panjat ais, menguna ax. Penting lagi, dia pasti semua group selamat. Nama dia Joao.
English: All in all, an incredible experience. our tour guide, Joao was experienced and knowledgeable. He broke down key techniques into simple steps, and made learning the craft less daunting as it appears. His emphasis on safety and general concern for the group is noteworthy.
And of course, some of the most incredible sites of the glacial
