On the Edge of lce: An Epic Adventure on Sólheimajökul - Our excursion to Sólheimajökull was unforgettable. After gearing up with crampons and helmets, we stepped onto the ice and followed Boris across a landscape of deep blue crevasses, ash-streaked ridges, and frozen waves. Walking on a glacier feels otherworldly-every crunch underfoot a reminder that you're standing on something ancient and constantly moving. Boris was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing insights about the glacier's history and how volcanic ash shapes the ice. The quiet out there-just wind and dripping meltwater-made it even more powerful. Would 100% recommend!

First time on glacier! - We booked two tours with Icypeaks during our week in Selfoss and we are so glad we did! The glacier was so beautiful and it was great to go in small group rather than with 20 people. We could stop to take pictures anywhere we wanted and all our curious questions were answered. We also felt really safe even when it was our first time in shoe grips, the equipment was new! I loved how personal it all felt! Highly recommended!

Glacier adventure - This glacier tour was absolutely incredible! It was my first time on a glacier and it truly felt unique. Our guide, Boris, was amazing – he explained everything clearly, helped us with the gear, and shared lots of interesting facts along the way. Walking on a glacier is something you can’t experience just anywhere, and I would recommend it to everyone. This was already our second tour with this company, and once again we were more than satisfied. Highly recommended!

Sólheimajökull glacier exploring - Great day on glacier with Icy Peaks and our guide Boris. We climbed some of the deepest moulins (vertical tunnels) Solheimajokull glacier could offer and even explored some ice caves, that rarely last in the summer! Boris was funny, profesional and very knowledgable! Highly recommend to book with them and get the real experience!

Hike that we never forget - This was the highlight of our trip to Iceland. Boris made us feel like we were exploring the glacier with friend rather than guide. Thank you and hope to see you next time!
