Highlight of our trip! - Our family had a great personalized experience because Ignacio will only take out small groups at a time. Since we were a group of 4, we were his only group. We did so much more than the large groups with the bigger companies. We didn’t want just a hike, and he gave us much more. We truly had the experience to use all the equipment since that’s what we were looking for (including climbing!). I’m sure if you just wanted to do a hike (but further on the glacier than the larger groups) he would accommodate that as well. Plus he took pictures of us which he then sent us. It was the highlight of our trip. Only hiccup was because he’s his own company, he didn’t have a dedicated area in the lot as the bigger companies. If you know that ahead of time then it will make finding him/his car easier.

Great day on Sólheimajökull - For our exploration of Sólheimajökull, we opted for the “Glacier Exploration - Hike and Climb” tour from Explorers Edge. And we were thrilled. We were lucky on several occasions that day: firstly, we had perfect weather conditions with pure sunshine and secondly, we were the only ones who had booked this tour that day. We were therefore lucky to have Ignacio as our private guide. He took a lot of time to adapt perfectly to our hiking level and at the same time gave us a lot of knowledge about the glacier and its development. Later on, we had the perfect opportunity to try out ice climbing. This tour was definitely a highlight in Iceland, which we will never forget, especially thanks to Ignacio's professional guidance. We always felt safe and in good hands. Thanks for the experience!

Beautiful day on Sólheimajökull - What a great experience I had that day! This was in all fairness the best glacier hike I had so far. Ignacio is an extremely professional guide, fun and prepared. But what struck me the most was the way his passion emanated from him. It made each and every moment more engaging. The tour was varied but not overly long. We climbed up the glacier and had many features of Sólheimajökull explained for us while walking on crampons. We visited a couple of moulins and even climbed one. Ignacio gave us an introductory lessons on ice climbing, let us practice and then offered the ones who felt like it to climb the moulin. Everything was super safe and actually very very exciting!

What a great day - our first and best glacier experience - A wonderful, unforgettable day on Sólheimajökull. On the way to the glacier, Ignacio explained to us, among other things, the formation and secrets of the ice, where the black piles of ash and underground rivers come from. He paid close attention to the safety of our equipment and our movement and gave us valuable tips on the correct behaviour on the glacier. The hike on the ice was an unforgettable experience, which culminated in climbing in the crevasses. Ignacio carefully selected routes that were suitable for all levels of climbers, including beginners. Not for a moment was I worried that something might happen. I was fascinated by the glacier and the fact that I was able to develop the ability to climb on ice without fear. Thank you Ignacio for these wonderful experiences under your professional guidance.
