About Troll Expeditions
Troll Expeditions is a Reykjavik-based adventure tour company specialising in ice cave exploration, glacier hiking, and South Coast day trips. Operating from their base at Fiskislod in Reykjavik's harbour district, Troll has carved out a niche as one of Iceland's most dynamic multi-activity operators, with a particular strength in winter ice cave experiences. Their guides are certified glacier specialists who combine technical competence with an infectious enthusiasm for Iceland's geology and folklore — true to the company's playful Norse mythology branding.
The signature offering is their Katla ice cave tour, a full-day expedition from Reykjavik to the ice caves beneath Myrdalsjokull glacier on the South Coast, which operates year-round unlike the seasonal Vatnajokull blue ice caves. They also run Vatnajokull crystal blue ice cave tours in winter from November to March, glacier hiking on Solheimajokull, South Coast waterfall and black beach tours, Northern Lights hunts, and multi-day packages combining several experiences. All glacier and ice cave tours include crampons, helmets, headlamps, and harnesses, with group sizes capped for safety and a more personal experience.
Troll Expeditions has built a loyal following among travellers for their energetic guides, well-organised logistics, and competitive pricing that doesn't sacrifice quality. Their ability to offer year-round ice cave access — when most operators are limited to winter months — is a major differentiator, and their Reykjavik hotel pickup service eliminates the need for a rental car. Whether it's a first-time glacier walk or a deep cave exploration, Troll delivers the full Icelandic adventure with warmth and professionalism.
