★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 634 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $1,058Our pick

This three-day Troll Expeditions tour links Iceland’s Golden Circle, waterfalls, black-sand beaches, a glacier hike, blue ice cave, and Jökulsárlón. A guide such as Bran, Paul, or Petur handles the driving, timing, and local stories. Expect small-group travel, two hotel nights, breakfasts, and a real chance to see the Northern Lights.

“We were well taken care of by our guide Bran. He has good driving technique and clearly explained the itinerary, the time to next spot, toilet break etc. The tour minibus is very comfortable. He brought as to more attraction than the schedule! The accommodations are nice and sleeping time is adequate. The most stunning spot is the glacier hike, just like walking on another planet as in the movie interstellar. The waterfall is amazing, better bring your own raincoat or you can rent one on the site. I highly recommend this tour if you’re going to explore the southern part of Iceland in 3 days.”
