Excellent Tour, Just be sure you know what to expect.

This is an excellent tour with some experiences that you won't find anywhere else in Iceland. Our guide "Bran" Branimer was excellent in his narration and keeping us update to date on rest stops and upcoming sites. Our tour did not follow the listed itinerary in order, but we did make all of the stops over the two days. It is worth mentioning a few items if you are considereing this two day tour. 1. The first day is a lot of driving - over 500 miles to reach Diamond Beach. There are a couple of scenic stops along the way and rest stops, but you spend most of the day driving. 2. The Black Diamond Beach and lagoon boat ride among the icebergs alone are worth the drive. 3. Our overnight accomodation was a two star hotel. Very limited in features. "Very comfortable" twin beds, with a luggage rack for each, two chairs and a small table. Nothing between the beds for glasses or phones. No TV, but wif fi worked fine. Breakfast was equal to or better to a Holiday Inn Express. Very clean and everything in good condition. 4. The glacier hike is strenuous. It is a big part of the second day and so consider this strongly when deciding to book this tour. 5. The Seljalandsfoss Waterfall is a highlight and you will need a waterproof jacket, pants, and shoes to walk behind the falls. There are several "once in a lifetime" experiences on this tour. Just be sure it is right for you.

Best experience ever

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable 2-Day Adventure with Brandur! Our two-day journey along Iceland’s stunning South Coast was absolutely spectacular, and we owe a huge part of that to our incredible guide, Brandur. • Expertly Crafted Itinerary: The trip was planned with such logical flow and rationality. Every stop felt perfectly timed—we never felt rushed, yet we managed to witness the full majesty of the waterfalls, glaciers, and lagoons. It was a masterclass in travel logistics. • Professional Insights: Brandur’s professionalism and storytelling truly brought the landscape to life. Whether he was explaining the fascinating chemistry of geothermal energy (and that unmistakable sulfur smell!) or the significance of aluminum smelters to the economy, his depth of knowledge turned a sightseeing tour into a deeply enriching experience. • Our Lucky Charm: Most importantly, Brandur seemed to be our lucky charm! From navigating the unpredictable Icelandic weather to ensuring we were at the right spot at the perfect moment, he brought a sense of serendipity and "luck" to our entire group. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, professional, and seemingly has a direct line to the Norse gods for good fortune, Brandur is your man! We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the land of fire and ice.

Absolutely brilliant!

I cannot recommend using troll.is highly enough. My wife and I did the 2-day south coast tour and every aspect of the trip was excellent. We booked the small party tour and the vehicle was excellent (better wifi than I have at home!) and very comfortable. Brann, our guide, played a huge part in making the tour as enjoyable as possible. He was funny, entertaining, informative with a great knowledge of Iceland at its attractions and demonstrated a genuine care for his guests/clients. With such a diverse range of attractions it’s difficult to pick just one out. The waterfalls are amazing, the beaches and scenery is stunning, the glacier hike is a must do but our favourite has to be the boat ride in the glacier lagoon. Getting so close to the huge icebergs (either by the boat or on diamond beach) and seals was truly exceptional. On top of all of this the culture and people of Iceland are both chilled and friendly. The food was excellent (a kind of Scandi/Euro feel) but the arctic charr and local lamb dishes are highly recommended. Things do cost more in Iceland than most other countries but there are ways and means to control costs such as buying duty free on the way in and using local supermarkets but hey, you’re on holiday so treat yourself1
