Our Ice Climbing Captured experience is designed just for you. We will traverse through the extensive crevasses of Vatnajokull while absorbing the unique vistas this glacier presents.

We will integrate these techniques and test them on a gentle ice climbing wall. Once you gain confidence, we will proceed to various walls presenting diverse challenges until you feel completely gratified.
Finally, upon concluding your tour, we will enhance your photos and provide you with a photo package within a fortnight as an ideal keepsake to reminisce your remarkable escapade!

Ice climbing dream - Amazing experience. Our guide was super nice and helped me and my friend achieve all our ice climbing goals. The photos he took came out amazing, and it was all around the highlight of our trip to Iceland. I can’t wait to go back and try another excursion with them!

Best experience EVER (first time ice-climbing) - This was hands-down one of our favourite experiences ever. Mike is an amazing guide - before we booked he reached out to us and very kindly answered all of our questions over the phone and left us feeling confident that we’ll be in good hands for our first ice-climb. When we got to Iceland, everything from the meet-up to the glacier hike was well organised, and we just had so much fun getting to know Mike as a person. It was clear to us how much passion he has for the glaciers and we were touched by his energy and stories. His ice-climbing instruction was also amazing - very beginner friendly and he was very patient with making sure we had the right technique to stay safe on the ice. We ended up climbing some pretty crazy crevasses at the end of the day, and the rush of adrenaline was not like anything we’ve experienced before. The photos we got after the climb were also amazing. We got engaged in Iceland and used this opportunity to do an engagement shoot, and Mike was more than patient with directing us to make sure we got the best photos and even some sick drone footage. If you’re hesitating this is your sign to book now. You will not regret it and will probably fall in love with the ice the same way we did after a day out with Mike.
