Fantastic trip with Gylfi as our guide! Highlight was the glacier climb. I was nervous about it (was I fit enough!?), but it turned out to be great! A fun experience out of the every day.

The glacier hike was the highlight of the entire trip. An amazing experience made better by guide Adam. The entire South Coast tour was an incredible way to see the country and tour guide Steffan was able to provide understanding to the natural history of the area. Steffan was also a great presence, warm and personable, and very attentive to each individual's needs and comfort. Could not recommend highly enough.

Me and my friend, Rachel, had a great time on our day trip with Troll! Stephan was our bus driver and guide and was very informative and friendly. Adam was our main guide on the actual hike. We are so lucky to be able to see, experience and climb glaciers in our lifetime. I am under five fee tall and way less than 60 kg, so it was a little hard for me to have enough force to drive my spikes into the ice, but Stephan and Adam helped me a lot and I felt very safe. It was great to experience the south coast with these guys! Would highly recommend!

This was my favorite tour that I took during my solo trip to Iceland. The glacier hike was an amazing highlight along with the falls and black sand beaches. Kuba was our guide he was very attentive and knowledgeable. Incredible experience! Would definitely recommend!

This was such an amazing, full day experience that you have to try when visiting Iceland. The waterfalls were beautiful, but I warn you that if you decide to take the stairs and see the view from the top, that hike is NO JOKE 😆. My legs felt like jelly coming down, lol. Sighvatur was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable at every stop and in between. After visiting the waterfalls and the Black Sand Beach, the major highlight of the trip was the Glacier Walk itself 😊. Sighvatur's couldn't walk with us because of an injury, but his amazing co worker from Italy did the walk with us. He was amazing and put up with my whining and crying, so that deserves an award within itself 😆. The walk was definitely a lot harder than I expected, but my legs were also still in pain from climbing Skogafoss. Overall, despite my aches &pains it was WELL WORTH IT!!!!

Incredible experience. We did the glacier hike with two grandparents (64 and 76 year old) and 2 kids (11 and 16). Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Would do it again.
