Best Myvatn Tours in Iceland

Wonderful trip. Tho some activity was cancelled due to weather condition but we were able to visit other spots in exchange. Nice and friendly tour guide. Would highly recommend it 8 days will be better if you have more time.

All our experiences for our 12 days in Iceland were booked through the Guide to Iceland website. Our 8-day Ring Road tour was preceded by a visit to the Blue Lagoon and a day-trip to a Langjokull Glacier, with visits to the Settlement Museum and a helicopter flight over the Litli Hrutur Volcano after our return to Reykjavik. Our 8-day small-group guided tour with Troll Expeditions which started on 29 October was by far the best way to see all the fabulous sights of Iceland, especially during the colder months when weather and roads can be somewhat treacherous. It was an incredibly full and very active itinerary, expertly led by our excellent guide John, who went out of his way to ensure we had the best experience. John made sure that we arrived at scenic spots or attractions before the crowds, and added in little “extras” whenever there was a spare moment. Our regular stops at cafés or restaurants were well-timed with a variety of food options for all tastes. Our small multinational group of 16 became a cheerful “family” in very quick time, and we couldn’t have enjoyed this spectacular tour with a better group. The small 18-seater coach was a little short on leg-room with very limited space for hand-luggage, but room for normal suitcases in the rear luggage compartment. It was clear during our travels that this is the standard vehicle used in Iceland for small-group tours. We would definitely recommend doing this longer tour to see the full highlights of Iceland, and specifically recommend Troll Expeditions and John as a great guide. The team at Guide to Iceland were very helpful and quick to respond to any queries we had. The information pack and vouchers they provided had a wealth of information and was received in plenty of time for our trip. Using their service was the ideal way to book with several different tourism operators through a single booking.

We enjoyed our trip. We saw all we wanted to see even if we were delayed by the blowing up of one of the front tires. The guide was very skilful in trying to steer the vehicle to a halt in the least dangerous way. We have no additional tips apart from thanking you for a great experience and good service.

We had an incredible time. The Guide set up several tours for us, filling our week, with different tour providers, to match our dates. They were able to switch us to the Sky Lagoon when the Blue Lagoon was closed down the week before our trip. We saw the GoldenCircle highlights, and even did snowmobiling. We did tours to the South/ east coast, to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, and to Lake Myvatn/Akureyri as well. All of our lodging was planned for us, as well as all of our transportation needs, except for the taxi we needed to use to get to and from the City airport for our one day trip to Akureyri.
