Stunning Highlights of Northern Iceland - Our guide and driver, Hogni, collected us from our hotel in Akureyri and we really got a personalized tour since there were only two of us! Unfortunately, the weather created some challenges - the roads to some of the sights on our itinerary were closed. However, our guide was fantastic at managing these changes, ensuring that we felt safe at all times and suggesting alternative options for us since we returned to Akureyri earlier that expected (the charming Christmas House was a great recommendation!). Despite the inclement weather, we saw some amazing sights that were very different from the scenery we'd experienced in the south. Some of the highlights included: Goðafoss waterfall, Dimmuborgir lava field, Hverfjall volcanic crater, Grjótagjá Cave (though the weather conditions didn't allow us to enter the cave) and Námafjall geothermal field. Hogni shared fascinating facts about each of the locations. If you're looking for an informative and professional tour filled with breathtaking scenery, I highly recommend any tour with Hogni and Star Travel!

Waterfalls, Caves, Yule Lads.... Oh My! - Great way to see the countryside of Iceland. it had everything, waterfalls, caves, lava pits and the best part learning about the Icelandic Yule Lads and seeing rocky landscape where they "live". Great way to end our time in Iceland!

So much to see - August was our tour guide and he was a genuinely nice guy who went out of his way to give us good information and to take care of our needs. We saw so many sites including waterfalls, volcanic formations, and many other things. He was easy to understand and we can’t say enough good things about him. Don’t miss this tour.

Beautiful family trip from the cruise ship to Lake Myvatn and Godafoss - We were in Akureyri on a cruise ship in June 2024 and wanted to take our 10-month-old baby on a shore excursion to see the region. Unfortunately, it was not easy to find a provider who was willing to take a baby. In the end, we chose Star Travel because they signaled to us quite easily here that this would be possible and you could also provide a suitable child seat. In the morning our guide Rúnar picked us up on time directly at the ship with a minibus. The group consisted of only 6 people and the matching baby seat for our little one was already on the bus. Rúnar has proven to be a great guide as he has repeatedly told us a lot of interesting and regional information with his friendly, relaxed and easy-going nature. We could see a lot of the beautiful and interesting scenery around Lake Myvatn with the tour and of course experience the great waterfall Godafoss. The day was also totally uncomplicated and stress-free for us as a family with a baby. In the end we were back on time at the ship without having to worry about the all abord time. Many thanks to our great guide Rúrar for an unforgettable day in Iceland. We can recommend Star Travel without reservation!
