Hike Falljökull on Vatnajökull with a guide, crampons, crevasses, blue ice, and grand Skaftafell views in a three-hour Iceland tour.

Review of Troll Expeditions’ 5-hour Falljökull glacier hike, with crampons, ice caves, expert guides, steep climbs, and sweeping Skaftafell views.
“We had such a great time with Filip on the glacier. Equipment and guides were very professional. We were quite lucky, as our group could spend a lot of time exploring various sights on the glacier. I can only recommend doing the advanced tour with them, to get a true glacier experience. Thanks for the unforgettable memories!”
Review of Vatnajökull ice cave tour from Jökulsárlón, with 4x4 travel, glacier views, safety advice, costs, crowds, and practical tips.

“The trip was long, 12 hours by the time we got back to our hotel, but the bus was really the most comfortable one we had all week and the sights were amazing. The tour guide Thor was awesome. Well worth it”
Review of Gray Line Iceland’s 10-hour Snaefellsnes tour from Reykjavik, with Kirkjufell, black beaches, seals, glaciers, and practical tips.
“The lonely mountain (Kirkjufell Mountain) is a must-see, and perhaps is more spectacular than its photos. Small wooden churches (e.g., Bjarnarhöfn Church) in lava fields can be found perhaps in Iceland only... Our tour guide is a geographist, and told us a lot of the Peninsula and Iceland in general. We really learned a lot.”
Hike Falljökull Glacier in Vatnajökull National Park with a small group, crampons, ice axe, and an expert English-speaking guide.

Explore Þingvellir National Park from Reykjavik with a private guide, scenic routes, Viking history, geology, and easy hotel transfers.
“Wow! From the very start of the tour and meeting guide Villi at our hotel, this was an incredible way to spend the day seeing some of the sights of Iceland. Villi was so knowledgeable and went out of his way to drive the more scenic routes and to take the “road less traveled” making for a unique experience seeing Iceland through the eyes of a local. The benefit of a private tour is that your guide gets to know you and your interests, so you learn about the things that matter to you. For us, that was all about Icelandic history but also about the geothermal technology (amazing!) and…”
