Amanda – United Kingdom

This trip was excellent from start to finish. Our guide Siggy was very informative and passionate about his homeland, which goes a long way. The landscape is so varied that it changes completely every stop! We were lucky to be offered a choice between spending time at the Mývatn Baths as planned or going to Dettifoss, the most powerful waterfall in Europe - apparently in the dead of winter this is not normally on the list and we did need crampons to walk there from the car park but it was a worthwhile visit. Returned home exhausted but absolutely delighted with our experience! It's an expensive trip for most people (for us too) and it was worth every penny. Do NOT miss out on this tour!!

We had an amazing trip with our very knowledgeable guide Siggy. We only booked the night before and were picked up at our hotel at the allotted time. Our trip was 8 hours long and from start to finish it was amazing. The scenery was amazing and the places we visited were out of this world. The whole day was the highlight of our trip to Akureyri and I would definitely recommend this trip and Star Travel for anybody.

Full description

First, we drive along the coast of Eyjafjörður, one of the longest fjords in Iceland. We begin by stopping at Goðafoss waterfall, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland, on our way to Lake Mývatn, the lake was created by a large basaltic lava eruption 2300 years ago, and the surrounding landscape is dominated by volcanic landforms, including lava pillars and rootless vents.

We take a look at Grjótagjá cave and a stop at the hot spring area at Hverarönd in Námaskarð and in the Nature Baths where you get the chance to relax in the steam baths and bathe in the geothermal water you can also take a massage in the baths.

On the way back we come to the unique lava formations of Dimmuborgir which are among the most popular tourist attractions in the Lake Mývatn area, we stop also in Skútustaðagígar (pseudocraters area).

Our last stop is in Eyjafjörður where you can see over the fjord to Akureyri and take a great photo.
