Our driver and guide Siggi was professional and punctual yet friendly and accommodating. He shared much interesting and helpful information as well as personal experiences. There was enough time at each amazing site around Lake Myvatn and at Godafoss. Earth Lagoon was still under remodeling when we visited but the substitute experience at the Forest Lagoon did not disappoint. We were dropped off at a nearby site of our request.
Thank you for your review 🌿 We’re delighted to hear that your small group tour with Siggi was enjoyable, informative, and well-paced. It’s great that the Forest Lagoon provided a memorable alternative to the Earth Lagoon, and that your drop-off request was accommodated 💙 We look forward to welcoming you again with Star Travel! Warm regards, Reynir — on behalf of the Star Travel Team

Great tour despite poor weather and visibility. Guide, Siggi was wonderful- very knowledgeable, very accosting, and helpful to older people on slippery rocks. He made our tour. It tectonic cracks are amazing to see. Highly recommend
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you had a great experience with Star Travel.
Beautiful experience. We decided not to swim so we could see more falls. Siri took us everywhere we need to go.
We appreciate your feedback and can’t wait to welcome you again!
This experience is an excellent way to view the geological marvels that abound in the northern part of Iceland. It includes some lore of the country by way of elves and trolls which makes the science of the geology even more intriguing. This trip includes the nature baths which is a fine experience and may get better after expansion concludes in 2026. The nature baths are manmade and not natural, but the heat is geothermal. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about many facets of Iceland and his expertise only added to the day.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the geology, stories, and the nature baths, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to the guide.
The tour was wonderful. The tour bus was comfortable and driver was great. Really enjoyed the stories from tour guide. Loved the farm and stories told by the young man at the farm. Waterfalll was awesome!
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour, the comfort of the bus, and the stories along the way.
Ziggy was our guide and he took care of everything from start to finish. The tour started at 9:30am sharp and he provided us a lot of information about Iceland and Akurejri, explaining where the next stop is, what to look forward to and beware. He was obviously very customer focused and I would definitely look forward to joining another tour in Iceland with him as our guide.
Thank you for sharing! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour with Siggi and appreciated his care and local insights. Wonderful to hear you’d join him again in Iceland
Our guide was very informative and friendly. He answered so many of our questions. We had more stops than we expected. We loved it all and would highly recommend Star Travel. We booked three shore excursions with them and loved them all
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you enjoyed all three excursions and appreciated your guide’s friendliness and knowledge. Wonderful to hear you’d recommend Star Travel
The whole experience was seamless. Our guide was easily found at the port (look for a bright yellow jacket). Since everyone arrived early we were able to even leave before 9:30! The tour itself was well planned and took us to beautiful spots. Ending at the baths was great. It also freed us up later on during our travels as we decided to skip Blue Lagoon for the smaller, but as beautiful lagoon at Lake Myvan. We would highly recommend this tour. Our guide was personable, knowledgeable, and wove in details about her personal life to explain Icelandic customs and culture. It was a great tour!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad the tour was seamless, well-paced, and enjoyable. It’s great to hear you appreciated your guide’s knowledge and personal touch, and that the stops, especially the baths, made your day memorable
The tour was excellent. The tour guide, Hogni, provided us with an exceptional guidance. We definitely recommend him.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you had an excellent tour with Hogni
