Kirkjufell “The Arrowhead Mountain”
Location: Snæfellsnes
The Trolls love the Snæfellsnes peninsula for a good reason, it′s full of impressive cliffs and breathtaking sights of glaciers and mountains. One such mountain on the northern coast of Snæfellsnes peninsula is Kirkjufell or, as it name translates, “Church mountain”. In the show it is known as Arrowhead mountain and it appears in episode 5 of season 6 when the heroes go north of the wall and episode 6 of season seven when the children of the forest created the first White Walker.
It is now the most photographed mountain of Iceland for its peculiar shape and appearance on Game of Thrones. You can visit Kirkjufell or “the Arrowhead mountain” with Trolls on our full-day tour on a minibus to the Snæfellsnes peninsula (here) where you will also explore the other natural wonders of Snæfellsnes, such as Arnarstapi, Lóndrangar and Djúpalónssandur.
Skaftafell and Vatnajökull Glacier Outlets
Location: Skaftafell Glacier
Vatnajökull is the biggest glacier in Iceland and in Europe. One of its outlet glaciers is Svínafellsjökull which has been presented in Game of Thrones in season 2 and 3, in the scenes that go beyond the wall. Svínafellsjökull is very easily accessible from the Ring Road and from Skaftafell National Park.
No glacier tour operator in Iceland is going to Svínafellsjökull currently. However, we do conduct glacier hiking, ice caving, and ice climbing tours in the Skaftafell area and other outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull such as Falljökull and Skaftafellsjökull. You can check a 3-hour hike in Skaftafell (here) or our blue ice cave and glacier walk (here).
Explore the ever-changing ice formations of Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier, on a guided walk. This tour gives you a close look at a landscape shaped by ice, where conditions shift from season to season. Depending on the time of year, you may walk into crevasses,or see ice features from above as the surface changes in summer. Your guide may also point out interesting details like glacier-shaped formations or patches of “glacier mice,” small moss balls found on the ice.
Your adventure begins at our Troll base, offering free parking and only a short drive from the glacier. Please arrive 20 minutes before departure to meet your certified English-speaking glacier guide. All essential safety equipment, helmet, crampons, harness, and ice axe, is provided.
After gearing up, we take a 15-minute ride to the glacier car park, followed by a 15-minute walk to the edge of the ice. Along the way, your guide will show how the glacier has retreated over time, pointing out exposed bedrock and the nearby meltwater lagoon. Once on the ice, your guide will teach you how to walk safely using your equipment.
You’ll spend 1 to 1.5 hours exploring Falljökull. What you see varies with the season, but every tour offers a chance to experience the glacier’s scale and the unique formations created by its movement. Throughout the hike, your guide will share insights into how the glacier forms, shifts, and affects the surrounding environment.
After returning to the meeting point, enjoy a complimentary hot drink and a candy bar
Join an unforgettable adventure on Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier, located in the beautiful Skaftafell area. The highlight of this tour is the chance to step inside a naturally formed blue ice cave, an experience very few people ever get to have.
Your journey takes place on Falljökull, an accessible and stunning outlet glacier in Vatnajökull National Park. The tour starts at our Troll base in Hof, just minutes from the glacier and offers free parking. Please arrive 20 minutes before departure to check in and meet your certified English-speaking glacier guide. After a short introduction, your guide will help you gear up with all the essential safety equipment: helmet, crampons, harness, and ice axe.
Once everyone is ready, we take a 15-minute ride to the glacier car park. From there, it’s an easy 15-minute walk toward the glacier, where your guide will point out signs of the glacier’s retreat, like exposed bedrock and the nearby meltwater lagoon. When you reach the ice, your guide will show you how to move safely with your equipment.
You’ll spend around 2 hours exploring Falljökull, where you’ll get the rare chance to walk through deep crevasses and discover unique ice formations that change from season to season. You’ll also get to enter a naturally formed blue ice cave, the main highlight and a must-see for anyone visiting the glacier. Throughout the tour, your guide will explain how the glacier forms, moves, and changes from year to year.
Back at the meeting point, you can warm up with a complimentary hot drink and a candy bar.
Thingvellir and Entrance to the Erie
Location: Thingvellir National Park
Thingvellir is not only known for its natural beauty, being the former site of the Althing, Iceland′s parliament and unique geographical site; it′s also a site for filming scenes from Game of Thrones. In season 1 it can be seen as the narrow path to the Erie, where Littlefinger and Sansa Stark arrive there and also when Catelyn Stark visits her sister.
The most popular tour to visit Þingvellir and the entrance to the Erie is the Golden Circle tour with the Trolls (here). To add something amazing to that experience we recommend Snorkeling in Silfra (here) as well which is a fissure with some of the clearest water in the world.
Come on an unforgettable tour with a small group to explore the famous Golden Circle. We visit the famous Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir, and Snorkeling between continents at Silfra Fissure in the world's clearest waters.
Snorkeling in Silfra is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You’ll find yourself swimming between tectonic plates, floating in pure, filtered glacier water. Tick this ultimate tour with breathtaking underwater views in the world´s clearest waters off your bucket list. You'll receive GoPro underwater photos after your tour for free.
Information about Silfra
Earth is divided with underground tectonic plates. Iceland is situated right in the middle of the two of them – North American and Eurasian Tectonic Plates. Silfra Fissure is one of the places in Iceland where you can see where the tectonic plates have slowly been separating – yet not on land, but under water.
In this magical place, the water is considered to be one of the cleanest waters in the world, with a visibility of more than 100 meters. This incredibly clean water comes from the melted ice of Langjökull glacier.
Join us on an adventure in Silfra – the only place in the world where you can snorkel in the middle of two tectonic plates.
During the activity, you will be swimming between two tectonic plates. Your guide will eventually send you all the GoPro photos after the tour.
* Silfra gets very busy in summer. That's why we recommend booking our earliest morning or late afternoon tours.
Reynisfjara or “The Beach at Eastwatch”
Location: South Coast
Reynisfjara is the most famous black sand beach in Iceland. There you can see black volcanic sand as far as the eye can see and marvel at some unique basalt columns in the cliffs nearby. This picturesque beach is featured in season 7 as the beach at Eastwatch by the sea, where the men in the night’s watch are guarding the wall.
This amazing beach is part of the Troll tour that explores the South Coast and also offers a glacier hike on Sólheimajökull, click here!
Dyrhólaey, “The Island in Eastwatch” by the sea
Location: South Coast
Dyrhólaey is a small volcanic mountain which takes its name from its peculiar hole in the rock, formed over the years by the tides of the ocean. This makes for spectacular sightseeing and an interesting walk. It can be seen in season 7, in the episodes that show Eastwatch by the sea.
But, fear not, Dyrhólaey is an extra stop on our tours exploring the South Coast, so you can ask our Troll guides to stop there!
