The guide was pretty stoic during pick up. He provided a lot of local information. We were pressed for time but did have the opportunity to see both waterfalls, a quick stop at the beach including picking up some sandwiches for lunch. The cave tour and glacier walk was awesome!! The only downside was the temperature in the van was not well regulated. We roasted until we asked for some relief. Several reminders were needed to make adjustments.
Day to remember

I cannot say enough about this experience and this company. Our main guide Bjorn at troll.is was phenomenal. Loved every part of this trip. Highly recommend. Black Beach is no joke. Dangerously beautiful. Ice caves cool as much as I thought. Waterfalls a bonus.
Amazing Tour!
