Reynir was a wonderful tour guide! He was prompt and extremely helpful getting us around Akureyi plus telling us lots of history about the area. He spent a lot of time with us and even suggested the best place to get the amazing Icelandic Hot Dog. I highly recommend Reynir as a knowledgeable tour guide.
Reynir is wonderful guide with deep roots in the area. Very knowledgeable with a great low key demeanor. Highly recommended.
The guide showed up on time, had energy and gave us a great tour of the waterfalls and the area. The scenery was breathtaking, and we really enjoyed his narrative. The guide showed us the highlights with our short time with him. I highly recommend taking this tour.
Reynir is a gentleman and a wonderful tour guide. We saw more with him than we expected. The day was exquisite.
Lake Mývatn and the surroundings is a must see while exploring the north! First we drive along the coast of Eyjafjordur, 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 land-forms, including lava pillars and rootless vents. We will 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 Myvatn area, we stop also in Skútustaðagígar (pseudo craters area). Our last stop is in Eyjafjordur where you can see over the fjord to Akureyri and take a great photo shot.
