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!
