What to do In Iceland | Troll.is

Why we recommend visiting Iceland

If you are looking for an adventure, Iceland is the place for you.

With nature like no other, adventure is on every corner.

We offer packages that include some of these activities but we also offer some of them as self-drive locations. 

1. Snorkeling in Silfra

Water in Silfra is named as the clearest water in the world. The water in Silfra is a meltwater which comes from Longjokull glacier about 60 km (37.2 mi) north of Silfra. The meltwater travels underground through lava fields where it gets filtered even more, making the water the clearest in the world. It takes roughly 100 years for the meltwater to travel from the glacier to Silfra.

Ideas for your trip to Iceland

  • Snorkel between continents
    Not your typical snorkel since on this tour you snorkel between continents and get free pictures of yourself and your group. It is no wonder that this is one of our most popular tours. 
  • Go whale watching
    A great way to experience Iceland's wildlife is to go whale watching on a boat. From Hauganes you have a 99 percent chance of seeing a whale. The most common species are humpback and minke whale, harbor porpoise, and white-beaked dolphin. 
  • Go Glacier hiking or Glacier climbing
    The more advanced way to experience the land of Ice is definitely to go on a glacier hike. You don’t need any equipment or any experience, your guides will teach you everything. For the more adventurous ones, you can also climb! 
  • Visit an Ice Cave
    During the glacier walk, you will be exploring breathtaking ice formations and moulins while learning how glaciers are formed and how they constantly change. The most amazing feature you will see is undoubtedly the naturally formed ice cave. You will be able to walk inside this dazzling structure to see the great blue ice found within. Every year our guides search for the most extraordinary Ice Cave to visit since they are constantly changing. 
  • Bath in geothermal hot springs
    What better way to relax than in a geothermal hot spring. They can be found all across the country, some of them hidden while others are more easily accessible. 
  • Visit waterfalls and geysers
    Iceland is known for its beautiful waterfalls like Gullfoss, Skógafoss, and Seljalandsfoss. Most of them are in rural areas on the countryside.
    Geysir is a spring characterized by an intermittent discharge of water ejected turbulently and accompanied by steam. As a fairly rare phenomenon, the formation of geysers is due to particular hydrogeological conditions that exist only in a few places on Earth.
  • Go hiking 
    One of the things that make Iceland so beautiful is all of our mountains. We have many trails and when you reach the peaks you have views like no other! 
  • Jökulsárlón Glacier lagoon
    The Glacier Lagoon is a must-stop for everyone that drives the South Coast past it. For a real Instagram photo place, this is the one. Watch the free-flowing icebergs from melted glacial water as it continues to grow as ice blocks crumble from the ever-shrinking glacier. You can take a boat ride around the lagoon and watch the seals play in the ice-cold water.
  • Diamond Beach
    Just a few minutes' walk from the Glacier lagoon you can visit Diamond Beach, the home of many seals. There the icebergs which fill the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon wash up on shore, creating a stark contrast with the black volcanic sand. This beautiful display makes it a favorite location for photographers and nature lovers. 
  • Víðgelmir Lava Cave
    Visit the biggest lava cube in Iceland. This tour takes to the naturally formed lava tunnel due to a volcanic eruption. The actual size of this cave is still unknown, but about 1600-meter-long part of the cave is accessible for tourists to experience, making it one of the longest and largest lava caves in the world.
  • Reynisfjara
    One of the most beautiful black sand beaches in the world is located here in Iceland, and we call it Reynisfjara. It is located near to the village, Vík í Mýrdal. Be careful of the strong tidal waves. The waves have carved out a magnificent cave on the beach that is really cool to check out! Many famous tv-series and movies have used this location, for example Game of Thrones, Star Wars and Star Trek. 
  • Horseback riding
    Enjoy Icelandic country life on an Icelandic horse. No prior experience needed. The Icelandic horse is known for being the only breed that can perform five gaits (five types of walk), while other breeds only know about 3-4 types.
  • VÖK baths
    Visit gorgeous Lake Urriðavatn in East Iceland and take a bath in a collection of serene geothermal floating pools with an infinity view. 
  • Go Northern lights hunting
    Take a ride outside the city during winter and cross your fingers for a clear sky. It might be your night to view the magnificent Northern lights. What's better than drinking hot chocolate while watching this natural phenomenon?
