Great Experience
We did this in September of 2026. Our Troll guide Erin was awesome. The tour is a bus ride to the glacier with about 12 people, then a bit of a hike, then you get to the glacier itself. Gear up with cleats, helmet and ice axe and up you go. Quite an experience. Would highly recommend it.
Glacier hike in southern Iceland
Excellent experience! Our guide Elena was super enthusiastic and shared all her knowledge with us. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy a unique experience!
Awesome
Lorenzo, our incredible instructor, made the glacier tour an unforgettable experience. He provided fascinating insights into the glacier’s history, and it was truly awe-inspiring to witness its grandeur before it might disappear. The price was undoubtedly worth it. We had a bit of a time overrun, but I was still thoroughly satisfied with the duration of the tour. The crowd size and atmosphere were perfect, creating an ideal setting for an immersive experience. This tour is a must-do for anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure!
Loved our day
We had a great day with Celine! She was knowledgeable about not only this glacier but many in Europe. Would highly recommend!
Terrible experience
I went with my two kids. I accidentally purchased an extra ticket. I immediately notified Troll.is and they came up with some lame excuse to not refund the accidental purchase. Money hungry people with no integrity.
