The best experience

It has been an unforgettable experience I have to say that Cora, our driver and guide, has been the best experience of all, without taking merit away from everything we have seen and lived, she has treated us as if we were her family, an incredibly adorable woman, a familiar and charming treatment. With guides like her, it makes you want to never stop traveling through these wonderful lands, we will definitely return to Tröll, an unforgettable experience.

Great Time

The black sand beach was really cool, with the caves and structures in the water. Off in the distance was Dyrhólaey, but unfortunately it was too misty to see clearly. The glacier itself is a wonder to see with how mountainous and living it is. Very unique experience to have, and 10/10 would recommend. What went above and beyond however was our tour guide Beda. That man had to be the funniest, friendliest, most dedicated guide I’ve ever had. From the second he spoke up at the meeting point I could tell by his mannerisms he was the guy to go with, and I was not wrong. Beda spent the entire time giving us in depth, real knowledge of the glacier and the surrounding land, while making it lighthearted and fun. You could hear the passion and love of the land in his words, and he spread that passion to his visitors. I can honestly say the tour was fun, and the glacier was awesome, but Beda would be the reason I do that tour again. It was like hiking with your best friend from childhood who always made you laugh and you knew had your back if you needed help. My abs hurt I laughed so much. Thanks Beda!

Great Tour

This tour is AWESOME! We visited beautiful waterfalls and the ice cave was mind blowingly beautiful! Our driver/guide for the waterfalls was very nice and informative. Our guide for the ice cave, Boris, was fantastic!! He was knowledgeable and fun. We were fortunate to have a new tunnel to explore that was once of the largest Boris had seen. The blue ice was breathtaking and shows up well in the photographs. This is a must do!!

Stunning

If you are a lover of science, nature, the interstellar movie, or the vikings TV show, you should definitely do this tour. Amazingly beautiful display of volcanoes, waterfalls, glaciers, and more. Daniel was a wonderful tour guide.
