A truly memorable experience. - A really enjoyable day out. The stops at the waterfalls are fast and furious, so no time to hang around and soak in the views, but the focus of the trip is time on the glacier, so I'm not complaining.
Our glacier guide was fantastic, great fun and knowledgeable. It was easily our most memorable Icelandic experience.

Great excursion with a great tour guide! - This day was great, from seeing waterfalls, giant waves at the black sand beach and hiking up a glacier. This trip was made great though and taken to the next level by the guides, our bus driver and tour guide Rocky, and our hike guide Gabriel. Both were so knowledgable, funny and caring and took their time to stop at different areas. Our bus driver also stopped on the way back to let us see the northern lights! I can’t reccmed this trip enough and especially the guides.

Great tour! - Very nice tour! Our guide, Bjorn, was friendly, interactive, and very funny! He told us lots of information and stories along the way. The glacier hike guide was really great too and they had coffee/hot chocolate and chocolate bars waiting for us afterwards.

A Beautiful Day! - Glad we picked this tour - lots of driving (as it is in Iceland), but they made bathroom and food stops and still packed a lot in. Waterfalls, black sand beach, glacier hike - gorgeous views, just enough time at each stop, well organized. It kept our teen/tween boys interested…along with the internet on the bus! ;~} Our guide, Hafi (unsure of spelling) was very helpful. Thank you!

Must do. - Best choice of my vacay.
The tour was amazing. Here’s why:
First of all, Björn, our guide, turned the day into an authentic, engaging Icelandic documentary, not boring at all, but full of great jokes and stories about Icelandic traditions and myths. He created a warm, fun atmosphere that bonded the group and made the experience even better. I was the only solo traveler and he went out of his way to make sure I had the best time and felt comfortable.
Everything was exactly as described and even better. We had enough time and clear information at every stop, breathtaking landscapes, and helpful tips to make the most of each location. The small group made the minibus experience super nice. We stopped at all the beautiful spots, learned tons of (fun) facts, and the Troll team was equally amazing and professional. The glacier hike was a highlight. We even chased the Northern Lights at the end of our tour!
Would definitely recommend. ♡
Special thanks to Björn — you were incredible. Takk fyrir!

A once-in-a-lifetime experience - My guide, Bjorn, was absolutely wonderful. As a local Icelander, he shared so many interesting stories and insights that made the experience truly special. I was seeing the south of Iceland through the eyes of someone who really knows and loves this place. He was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive throughout the whole trip. Bjorn even added music to the journey with traditional Icelandic songs and taught us some Icelandic words along the way, which made everything even more authentic and fun.
The organization of the tour was excellent, the driving was safe and very conscious, and the communication with the company was always fast and smooth. Thank you, Bjorn and team.
