About us

glacier guide with camera and ice axe on breiðamerkurjökull, zimno owner

Our name, Zimno, is the Polish word for “cold” – a nod to our founder’s roots and, of course, to Iceland itself. For us, cold isn’t something negative. It stands for resilience, connection and the strength that comes from moving together. When it’s cold, people gather for warmth and safety, and that spirit is at the heart of everything we do.

Our job is to support you throughout your journey and make sure you are comfortable, safe and enjoying every moment. We stay together when the weather gets tough, and we share the good moments too: the views, the stories and the joy of discovering Iceland.

Our guides are highly skilled professionals. They take care of every safety measure while making the experience engaging, insightful and unforgettable, so that everyone comes home safely, enriched by the time spent together.

Our mission

We want to bring together people who care about the environment. No form of tourism is impact-free, but small, practical changes can reduce it and move us step by step towards more responsible travel. We want to show you this beautiful country and help keep it this way for as long as possible.

We offer tours in many locations

We drive only where we must. Then we switch to walking, cycling, skiing, kayaking, running – anything that keeps us moving under our own power and makes us happy.
