Amazing glacier hike - Vaggelis is an amazing guide, very relaxed but also safety oriented. We did a long hike on the glacier including some climbing with ropes, we saw how an ice screw works and heard interesting facts about the ice and the volcano. Definitely recommend!

Glacier hike - Highlight of our Iceland trip - This was already recommended from a friend, but we were still not prepared for how AMAZING it would end up being.
Vaggelis (the guide) really took the extra step to make this super interesting around the glacier and take us to places the other tours didn't go!
A person that enjoys what he is doing!

Amazing unique experience - We had a terrific glacier hike with Evangelos. We had to reschedule because of the weather (very strong winds and rain) and Hyperborea was very accommodating- choice of refund or reschedule to what was convenient for us. The tour ended up being just the three of us and Evangelos. He was able to completely tailor the hike for us. We saw more than most of the other large groups we passed near the start and end of our hike, and we even did a little “climbing”. Evangelos was very knowledgeable about the glacier and pointed out interesting features and sights. Overall an amazing experience, I fully recommend Hyperborea for guided glacier hikes!

Best glacier hike ever - The tour on the glacier was the best hike we had in Iceland! Having been in other glacier tours in the past in other regions of the world, this is by far the best I have had.
Vagelis is a great guide, who always prioritizes safety, but also makes the hike fun and enjoyable!
A must do for everyone visiting Iceland

Best glacier climb experience ever! - It is safe to say that climbing on Solheimajokull Glacier was probably the best experience we had in Iceland! Especially Vaggelis, the owner and tour guy is very fun and inspiring for everyone! We felt totally safe all the time during the hike because Vaggelis is very communicative and a well organised tour guide. It is pretty clear that he loves his work!
Solheimajokull glacier is beautiful and has ice caves, big and small cliffs to climb on and a spectacular view.
We would highly recommend this tour for everyone! 🏔️🇮🇸

Unforgettable Glacier Adventure with Evangelos – Perfect for Families! - Our glacier hike on Sólheimajökull with Evangelos from Hyperborea Tours was the highlight of our trip to Iceland! It was just our family—my wife, our 11-year-old son, 14-year-old daughter, and me—and Evangelos made the entire experience not only safe and smooth but also incredibly fun and inspiring for all of us.
From the moment we met him, Evangelos was warm, knowledgeable, and patient—especially with our kids. He took his time helping everyone get geared up properly, ensuring crampons were secure and safety equipment was in place. His calm and encouraging approach gave our children the confidence to take on parts of the glacier they never imagined they could conquer. The way he connected with them made a huge difference—they weren’t just following instructions, they were learning and truly engaging with the environment.
The hike itself was breathtaking. Evangelos shared fascinating insights about the glacier, and Iceland’s unique landscape. He struck the perfect balance between guiding and letting us take in the awe of the ice, cracks, and towering formations. We always felt safe under his watch, even during the more technical sections.
We loved how personal the tour felt. Having just the four of us meant the experience was completely tailored to our pace and abilities. Evangelos clearly loves what he does, and his passion was contagious.
Highly, highly recommend this experience—and especially Evangelos as your guide—whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a family with kids. He made it unforgettable. Thank you, Evangelos!
