      TravelerWritten September 2025

      What hotels offer collection for the tour?

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten September 2025

      Each person is allowed to bring one suitcase up to 24 inches. You can also bring a small backpack on the bus, and it should fit under the seat or in the upper compartment. We only run minivans, so we don't have enough space in the trunk. Extra luggage must be stored in our office for a fee.

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten September 2025

      We recommend Storm Hotel, Fosshótel Reykjavik, Reykjavik Lights, Hilton Reykjavik Nordica, Grand Hotel Reykjavik, or Oddsson Hotel, as they have direct pick-up at the entrance. If you choose a hotel in the city center, we will pick you up from the nearest bus stop due to road regulations.

      Alice

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      How can we overcome luggage limitations?

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten September 2025

      You can bring your carry on luggage + a backpack inside the tour bus, or bring 1 bigger sized luggage for 2 people.

    Craig

    Asked on July 10th, 2025

    I had a question re the 3 hour glacier hike, I'm 61 and I consider myself fit but can I ask you if it's very strenuous or reasonably easy. Is this tour capped at 20? I don't want a massive tour.

    Age Range
    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten July 2025

      The 3-hour glacier hike is considered easy to moderate in difficulty. As long as you can walk continuously for about an hour on uneven terrain, you should be absolutely fine. The tour group is capped at 18-19 participants, so it's a small-group experience, not a large or crowded tour.

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten April 2025

      The estimated travel time per day is about 4 to 5 hours, this is depending on the itinerary each day. If you want to see a more detailed itinerary, I would recommend seeing the tour page on TourRadar.

  • T

    Tina

    Asked on March 24th, 2025

    Are there opportunity to see northern lights

    Tour Details
    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten March 2025

      Yes, there is a strong possibility of witnessing the Northern Lights during your trip in October, particularly around your departure date of Sunday, 12 October 2025. The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are generally visible in Iceland from late September to early April, with the highest chances occurring when the skies are dark and clear. October falls within this prime viewing period, and the weather conditions during this time are often favorable for sightings. However, please note that the nature of the Northern Lights is beyond our control, and despite our best efforts in monitoring weather patterns and solar wind activity, sightings cannot be guaranteed.

  • K

    Karen

    Asked on March 13th, 2025

    About the 24 inch luggage, how strict is this. We would need to buy new suitcases since ours are bigger. However, in the stores they have 24 inch luggage, but measure out to 25.5 inches including the wheels. Would this be OK? Would would have 1 piece for myself and also for my wife. Also we will be 72 and 74 years old, and we have no impediments to travel.

    Age Range
    Transport
    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten March 2025

      The 24 inch luggage size limit does not include the wheels. Please know that we do not measure luggage like at the airport. But we have to set a limit because we are running on minibuses and we have to accommodate all of the participant's luggage. The tour includes a Glacier Hike and Ice cave and both are EASY in terms of difficulty. If you can walk straight for an hour, you should be able to do the tour.

      can you advise how many people are included in the group? Is it less than 20?

      We only run minibuses, which means a very small group of 18 to 19 participants.
