    North Ice expeditions were an excellent choice for ice climbing and glacier hiking on Solheimajokull. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and safe. We booked on for the two of us and were surprised that their minimum number to run a tour is 2, so when nobody else showed up we basically got a private tour! What a treat. The glacier is amazing to go walking on, you quickly get used to using crampons and then you get to have a go at ice climbing and do as many climbs until you are tired out (trust me it isn't that many before you are exhausted!).
    I would recommend this to anyone, the extra money compared to some other providers is so you get a very experienced guide (some of the other guides we met on the glacier didn't seem to have a clue or take that much interest in their clients) and more time on the glacier, we were out there for a good 4-5 hours.
    Bring some sturdy shoes, full waterproofs including waterproof gloves and a hot flask of tea as it can get cold and wet quickly. Thanks North Ice!

    Choose this company to meet awesome local guides and avoid the huge tour group sizes. I booked a very last minute tour with North Ice the night before the scheduled tour (probably better if you book in advance, but my travel plans had suddenly changed). The company was insanely responsive and super accommodating in helping me schedule a private session. They actually contacted me late outside their regular hours to arrange this and made the helpful suggestion to start earlier than their standard time to maximize the day. Above and beyond communication & customer service—way exceeded expectations.

    The tour itself was fantastic. I did a private ice climbing tour with Bergur and he was super friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and overall a great guide who found climbs that would be fun for me as I’d done a bit of ice climbing before. I was able to do about 6 laps in the 4 hr time and explore the glacier a bit.

    You won’t regret booking a tour with this company! Worth every penny and the highlight of my trip. Huge thanks to North Ice Expeditions and Bergur for such an amazing experience.

    Did the ice climbing tour with Bergur and had an awesome time! He was super friendly and informative about everything! It rained at the end, which was the only downfall, bit definitely would do again (and bring rain gear)

    To my knowledge, the tour guide/North Ice, never showed up. I was in the parking lot for 30 minutes prior to the meeting time and stayed an extra 30 minutes after just in case. I asked multiple companies if they had heard of North Ice and none of them knew of them. I attempted to call, but the number was not operational. No response via messaging on Viator, where I booked. I was refunded, but still extremely disappointed because it was meant to be a final splurge to experience a glacier hike on my last day in Iceland. I still have not heard anything directly from the touring company, only a confirmation of my refund request.

    *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
