Traveler reviews
Small group tour through stunning landscape
My wife and I took the 2-Day Snæfellsnes Peninsula & West Iceland Minibus Tour with Tröll Expeditions in late February. It had snowed a few days before our arrival in Iceland, and the landscape was covered in snow. It was beautiful. One day is spent circumnavigating the peninsula, hitting the highlights, and one day is spent seeing other sights in West Iceland — including the Viðgelmir Lava Cave. Our driver/guides were knowledgeable, and I appreciated not having to drive, as on occasion visibility dropped to a car length or two. Transportation is by minibus, so the maximum size is about 15. Staying on the bus while at a stop was an option for those who did not want to get out into the cold and wind. There was a good amount of time allowed at each stop, so we could take a short hike and take photos. The view from our hotel after day one was a bonus.
Fabulous experience!!
This 2-day, small group tour, was a spectacular experience. The peninsula itself, the lava cave, the beach, the waterfalls, all of it! If you find yourself on Haffi's bus, you're in for a treat! He is very knowledgeable and does not have any shortage of amazingly fun and informative stories along the way. He was with us every step of the way and made an already great experience, even better!! A modern day Viking for sure. Highly recommend this company for a truly magical experience 😊
Unforgettable Snaefellsnes tour
It was a very nice tour. Our guide Hafi told us a lot about the history and the country. Also the unplanned stops for beautiful landscape pictures with the special highlight of seeing an eagle were simply awesome. His choice of music on the way back was exactly to my taste. If I come to Iceland again in the summer of 2027, I would be happy to enjoy another tour with Hafi :)
Cave Trolls
The experiences I most enjoyed were the Barnafoss and the lava caves. The waterfalls are a beautiful blue. The lava cave was a great learning experience of the power of nature.
Perfect trip with our amazing guide Juliana
The itinerary was perfectly arranged. We visited many wonderful attractions and had a great time. Our guide Juliana was incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the trip. Everything was relaxed and enjoyable. The weather in Iceland is very changeable, but our guide drove safely and skillfully. We felt secure and well taken care of the entire time. It was an amazing experience and a perfect trip! Highly recommended!
