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

Amazing experience, highly recommend - 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!

The best experience in Iceland - We were a family group with varied ages. Going ice climbing with Hyperborea was the best experience we had on our trip to Iceland. An incredible few hours where Evangelos taught us everything we needed to climb in ice with the maximum possible safety. We discovered several walls and cracks where we could unleash our desire to climb and, of course, our adrenaline. He adapted the difficulty to the level of each of us.
Definitely a highly recommended experience. Evangelos, a magnificent Guide, prepared and with very good conversation.

AMAZING - We did a (private) climbing trip with Evangelos.
Really loved it. Not only the scenery of the glacier, but also the calm explanation and guiding from Evangelos.
Normally I’m really scared doing things like this, but I really loved it.
He really took the time, didn’t rush anything.
Showed us beautiful views.
Really recommend this to everyone who’s into glaciers and wants just that little extra to explore Iceland. It’s so different to see a glacier from a distance then walk on it or climb it.
First I wanted to organise a glacier hiking tour, but that also comes along with this trip!
Evangelos took photos and videos of us, so we have a great thing to look back on.
Really wanted to do it again during our trip.

Breathtaking - We had a fantastic tour with ideal weather conditions. Opting for the 10am slot was a great choice, creating a perfect experience on the glacier. Evangelos was outstanding, providing plenty of information and being patient throughout. We never felt hurried, allowing us ample time to explore and capture photos. Exploring remarkable parts of the glacier, made the three-hour hiking thoroughly enjoyable and surpassed our expectations.
