      TravelerWritten March 2026

      What is the average cost for lunch and dinner, particularly since we are vegetarian?

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten March 2026

      Since clients need to book a hotel in Reykjavik for their first night before the tour starts, we recommend Storm Hotel, Fosshótel Reykjavik, Reykjavik Lights, Hilton Reykjavik Nordica, Grand Hotel Reykjavik, or Oddsson Hotel, as they have a direct pick-up at the entrance.

      If they choose a hotel in the city center, we will pick you up from the nearest bus stop due to road regulations there, it is usually a very short walk, you can check all the bus stops here:

      Reykjavik City bus pick-up and drop-off places (busstop.is)

      For the meal, while on the way, we usually stop at locations like gas stations: there are small shops there where they will be able to buy snacks/sandwiches and drinks.
      At lunch time we will also stop at locations where they will find warm lunch options.
      For dinner, all hotels have restaurants, so you can choose if they would like to have dinner there :)

      In Iceland some sort of vegan or vegetarian options are offered almost everywhere, in case needed. We can leave notes on their booking and they can also remiond the guides for any suggestions.

    Asked on March 12th, 2026

    Within the itinerary you state that the following are included activities: Katla Ice Cave tour with glacier walk and equipment and the Jökulsárlón Amphibian Boat Ride. However, in the Optional section under What is not included part you have Katla Ice Cave Tour and Jökulsarlon Boat Ride listed there. So are those two activities included in the tour price or excluded?

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      What will be the additional cost for the horse back riding, Vídgelmir Lava Cave, and entrance to the VOK baths?

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten March 2026

      Katla Ice Cave Tour: This is fully included in your tour price. It features a Super-Jeep ride to the cave and all necessary glacier equipment (crampons, helmet, etc.). Jökulsárlón Amphibian Boat Ride: For your May start date, the boat ride at the glacier lagoon is included. You'll get to witness the floating icebergs up close as part of the standard package.

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten March 2026

      Individual Pricing: V\u00d6K Baths: $62.00 (2 hours), V\u00ed\u00f0gelmir Lava Cave: $70.00 (1 hour), Horseback Riding Tour: $149.00 (1 hour). Discount Package: We also offer a bundled package including Horseback Riding, V\u00f6k Baths, and the Lava Cave for a total of $275.00 per person.

      Raymond

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      Is there a limit to the luggage size that we can bring on this 8-day tour?

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten March 2026

      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; of course, we are not measuring luggage as at the airport, but we need to set a limit :) All extra luggage must be stored in our office; there is a fee you must purchase in advance in case you need to do so. In case we have space in the trunk, we will bring the luggage along with us (you still need to buy the extra luggage fee if your luggage exceeds the limit); if not, then we will leave it here at the office :) The guide will pick you up at your designated pick-up location when the tour starts and help you bring it to the office. Once you come back from the tour, we will drive you here to pick up the suitcase and then drop you off at your location in Reykjavik. For tours that last 4 days or less, it costs 1750isk. For longer trips (5/6/8 Days), it costs 3000isk for the total duration of the trip.

    • R

      Raymond

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      Would you please clarify what is meant by 24 inches for the allowable suitcase size. Is that the total dimension (L, W, H) or length of the suitcase?

    • R

      Raymond

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      Can the pickup/dropoff location in Reykjavik be anywhere in Reykjavik or does it have to be in the city center?

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten March 2026

      The 24-inch allowable suitcase limit refers to its height. Wheels is not included in the measurement.

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten March 2026

      We recommend booking a hotel in the city center to make pick-up and drop-off more convenient for you.

    Asked on February 4th, 2026

    I am a solo traveler and I don't want to be the only person on the trip for the date I have chosen. Do you have other people already booked for this date? Reading between the lines it looks like I would need to fly into Reykjavik on 2nd May and then get to a Hotel in central Reykjavik where I would be picked up by you guys on 3rd May and returned to on Sunday 10th May? So I would need to book at least 2 nights Hotel accommodation central Reykjavik and arrange my own transport to and from the airport??

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      How do I communicate what hotel for you to pick me up at day 1. Also can I add on Lava caves and VOK baths during the trip or have to decide at time of booking?

    • Troll ExpeditionsOperatorWritten August 2025

      Once you will arrive in Reykjavik, you can stay at a hotel of your choice (not included in the tour), and the same goes for the last night after we drop you off. When booking, you'll be able to select your accommodation or the nearest designated bus stop for pick-up on Day 1. As for add-ons like the Lava Cave and Vök Baths, you can add the Lava Cave during the booking process or at least 48 hours before departure so we can make the necessary arrangements.
