Great tours!

Published on Feb, 2025

We had Siggis as our guide. He was great explaining things and taking time with us. We also had him for a northern lights tour that went amazing!

Stunning landscape and magnificent waterfalls

Published on Jul, 2023

We had a very friendly and knowledgeable guide named Hjalmar. As there were only three of us in the group so the timing for visiting the sights were more flexible. He rearranged the sequence of the sights so to avoid the crowds. He was very kind getting us some delicious local geothermal bread with smoked trout to try. Also gave a helping hand with the photographing. Overall it was a very enjoyable tour and with great travel group.

A full day of amazing sights. Waterproofs needed!

Published on Jul, 2023

This was a really big tour! Five of us in a land rover or similar. Guide Hjalmar put a lot of effort into showing us the sights and a few extras. It turned into a long day but well worth it. A stop off to see puffins, great lunch place, got totally soaked at the majestic Dettifoss, bubbling mud, a geothermal plant, more waterfalls, views of the lake and the fjord coming back into Akureyri. He then offered to take us to an ice cream place but most of us were too exhausted to go! I went later though (after a soak in the town pool), and it was a good recommendation. Great tour.

Great day in the Diamond Circle!

Published on Apr, 2023

We had a wonderful day taking in north Iceland’s beauty! Reynir was an excellent guide and very communicative in lead up to the trip. We had to change our itinerary due to road closures, and the alternate sites did not disappoint! On top of it all, Reynir brought us to a great restaurant for lunch that is owned and operated by a local farm. Highly encourage you to book!

Great tour and guide

Published on Aug, 2022

We had been fearful that this tour had too much for one day, but Thor's calm demeanor and well-timed stops made it all easy. As a local, Thor had some great stories about the area and its people, but was quiet when he didn't have anything interesting to say. We made a special trip to Akureyri to take this tour, but the combination of great things to see (waterfalls, thermal areas & beautiful scenery) and sunny weather made it all worthwhile.
