Reynur was great. Everyone on the tour ( ages 4-80+)was pleased; his insights, commentary, etc. made the trip very special.
Edward S.United States
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Reynir was punctual, knowledgeable, and entertaining; and he involved all 7 of us in planning what to see and how long to stay. We saw all of the main sites around Lake Myvatn and the falls, and enjoyed the thermal springs in just under 7 hours. Highly recommended.

Your Akureyri tour itinerary
Lake Mývatn and the surroundings are 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 landforms, 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 at the bath. 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 (pseudocraters area). Our last stop is in Eyjafjordur where you can see over the fjord to Akureyri and take a great photo shot.
