Travel from Reykjavik through Iceland’s Golden Circle and South Coast with an English-speaking guide such as Jonas, Hakon, David, or Guli. You’ll see geysers, waterfalls, Reynisfjara, Jökulsárlón, and a seasonal blue ice cave, with two hotel nights and one hot-tub stop.
“The driver cum guide Hakon was very good, professional and value added. Thanks.”
Travel Iceland’s Ring Road and Snæfellsnes Peninsula in a small group of up to 17, with seven nights of lodging, glacier equipment, a Crystal Ice Cave visit, whale watching, WiFi, and an English-speaking guide. You’ll also have optional horseback riding, Vök Baths, and Víðgelmir Cave.
“My 8 day tour was broken up as 6 days + 2 days so I was with 2 different groups. But the Troll Ex. Did such an excellent job with the logistics ( i.e pick ups), accommodation and tour itinerary that even though this was a last minute trip. I felt well looked after and unstressRead more”
Spend about 10 hours exploring Iceland’s South Coast in a Mercedes Sprinter minibus limited to 16 people. You’ll see Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Reynisfjara, Vík, and Sólheimajökull Glacier, with guides such as Anton, Martin, and David adding stories, safety help, and flexible timing.
“We had a brilliant day on this trip. Our guide/driver Anton was great and very knowledgeable. Plenty of time at stops and for lunch - highly recommend!”
Spend a full day on Iceland’s South Coast, walking behind Seljalandsfoss, hiking Sólheimajökull with a certified guide, and visiting Reynisfjara and Skógafoss. After dinner in Reykjavík, return for a countryside Northern Lights hunt, sometimes led by the memorable guide Frank.
“Enjoyed the entire tour, especially the glacier hike. All of the guides were exceptional and ensured we all had a great time. It was unfortunate that we couldn’t see the northern lights but maybe next time. Thanks for an enjoyable trip!!”
Spend about three hours looking for whales from Reykjavik harbor, then return in the evening for a two-hour aurora cruise. Elding provides warm overalls, blankets, live English commentary, wildlife exhibition access, and a free return option when sightings do not happen.
“Very cool experience, got to watch humpback whales feeding. We didn’t catch the Aurora this time around but if you don’t see it they give you a voucher gift next time!”
Pick a road out, a boat or a hot spring.
