About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Scenic501731866560 contributions5 fantastic days in IcelandSimply excellent. Competence, helpfulness, friendliness, knowledge... hard not to recommend this agency. Always on time and always ready to adapt the programme to the changing weather, with the aim of not letting you waste a single minute of your holiday. An experience we will keep in our hearts and minds.Written 14 March 2025
- Scenic501731866560 contributionsA day on a glacier in IcelandA wonderful day in every way. A fantastic experience underpinned by a feeling of safety at all times thanks to the experience and knowledge of the Iceland Adventures guide. A must doWritten 14 March 2025
- haleighh20230 contributionsA must do while in Iceland!This tour was absolutely amazing! A must do while you’re in Iceland! Valerio was beyond amazing and we could not have asked for a better person to do this with! I am not an experienced hiker/climber and I was able to do everything on this tour. Valerio allowed me to stay in my comfort zone while also pushing me when I needed it. My friend who is an experienced climber/hiker also had an amazing experience. I highly recommend doing this tour despite your skill level.Written 27 October 2024
- margheritadS312GY0 contributionsDefinitely recommended!Valerio was a very kind and experienced guide, exlpained everything very well and helped through the whole glacier experience! Definitely recommendedWritten 23 October 2024
- Schmata0 contributionsSafe, adventurous and comfortable private tourWe did 3 tours, the Southern Loop, Golden Circle and the Highlands, and had blast on all three, for different reasons. The scenery from the coast to the highlands could not have been more different. At first I thought the tour was a little expensive but after I felt it was well worth it for the freedom and comfort of traveling in a private car with a knowledgeable guide. Gaia was so great at showing us around and looking after us, including my 6 year old son. It felt safe with her and more like hanging out with a friend than a tour guide. I'd recommend her any day for anyone looking for a more personalized experience.Written 26 August 2024
- filippomA5887PL0 contributionsHighly recommendedOne of the most spectacular experiences you can have in Iceland! Valerio is professional, friendly, and incredibly patient. This tour is suitable for all skill levels—even if you’ve never climbed an ice wall before, his clear instructions and expertise will help you succeed. I highly recommend the afternoon or evening tour for a more serene glacier experience with fewer people around. Thank you!Written 24 August 2024
- I8198ROalec0 contributionsSimply spectacular tourThe Glacier Adventure at Solheimajokull was a simply spectacular tour! From the start, our guide welcomed us with great warmth and professionalism, demonstrating in-depth knowledge of the area and its natural features. During the trip to Solheimajokull, we had the opportunity to admire breathtaking landscapes and receive interesting explanations about the glacier. Once we arrived at the glacier, the emotion was palpable. Equipped with everything we needed, we set off on a guided hike that took us among the stunning ice formations and crevasses. The beauty of the glacier is difficult to describe in words: it is truly a unique experience to be immersed in such a primordial and uncontaminated landscape. Our guide was exceptional at ensuring safety and providing detailed explanations of how glaciers form and how climate change is affecting these natural wonders. We also had time to take numerous photos that will remain indelible memories of this adventure. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to experience the most authentic and wild Iceland, far from the classic tourist circuits. A private experience worth every penny, ideal for those who want to explore Icelandic nature in an exclusive and personalized way. I can't wait to return!Written 22 August 2024
- Anilegna0 contributionsFantastic tour operatorThis was my second trip to Iceland and we did the south coast, golden circle, glacier hike and highlands with Gaia. We were 3 adults plus one 6 year old and it was such a dreamy escape for all of us ! The entire experience was such a sensory overdrive, we got to see puffins close up as well as explore some really remote, magical, wild and magnificent spots. Gaia was fun, knowledgeable and professional, we felt so safe in her hands and we’ll be saving up for another visit !Written 21 August 2024
- Byzonmicky0 contributionsSafe and fun walking on the iceValerio took care of me and my safety from the beginning. His experience made me think more about the trip rather then the danger. I enjoyed fully the walk, the panorama, drinking pure water, visiting secret caves and waterfalls. He is fun and funny. It feel you are going on a stroll with a longtime friend.Written 18 August 2024
- martinacS7507GQ0 contributionsMemorable day in such a stunning environment!The guide exhibited an impressive depth of knowledge about glaciers.

- Sherpa253413769860 contributionsFrom A to Z top!We had an amazing day with our tour guide Valerio. The day started with a friendly and funny introduction. Then we got the equipment with excellent guidance, and Valerio explained how to use it in a calm and easy-to-understand way. After that, the highlight started, and we went to the glacier and had an unforgettable experience. In short: From A to Z, just top-notch!Written 25 March 2024

We all had an amazing experience hiking and climbing the Sólheimajökull glacier accompanied by great stories, historical facts and hilarious jokes from our guide. As a highly demanding local, I would recommend this tour to everyone. We all experienced an eventful day that none of us will forget!Written 24 March 2024
- marinar9550 contributionsExceptional Glacier Trekking ExperienceOur trek with Valerio from Icelandic Adventure to the Solheimajokul glacier was simply outstanding. Valério's meticulous attention to safety and precision, coupled with his gentle guidance, instilled confidence in us throughout the journey. He set a comfortable pace, allowing our family to enjoy the stunning scenery and learn about the local environment. Moreover, he took the time to understand the preferences and abilities of our group, customizing the trek to suit our needs perfectly. Valério's humor added an extra dimension of enjoyment, and his support and adaptability were unmatched. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and highly recommend Valério for an unforgettable adventure in Iceland. Thank you, Valerio!Written 22 March 2024
- Lizisc0 contributionsBest experience everThe best experience in all of Iceland, don't think twice and hire it. Valerio our guide was super punctual. It was our first experience on a glacier and we always felt safe, Valerio let us knew that his number one priority was our safety and provided us with all the equipment we needed, he also explained all the safety rules and regulations to avoid mishaps. Not only that, he made sure our experience was amazing and unique, he always looked for the best spots away from the other tourists. I can't wait to come back.Written 25 January 2024
