An amazing experience! Great to be able to get to places where this is not possible with a regular car. Expert guidance of wonderfully down-to-earth and honest people. Definitely recommended!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review 🌿 We’re delighted to hear that your Superjeep tour was so memorable and that you enjoyed accessing places a regular car can’t reach. Personal guidance and local knowledge from the guides make the experience truly special 💙 Thank you for travelling with Star Travel — we look forward to welcoming you again! Warm regards, Reynir — on behalf of the Star Travel Team
We booked a tour for lake Myvatn, Goddafoss and Dettifoss. As no one else had booked, we had a private tour with Siggi who was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. We saw epic waterfalls, mud pools, lava fields, an underground thermal pool, just lots to see in one day! Siggi provided crampons for our short hike to Dettifoss and Selfoss which made walking so much easier! Our lunch stop at Myvatn baths was delicious…try the goulash (had a free refill) and local smoked trout on rye bread. Take the stress out of hiring a car and doing it yourself by booking a tour, especially in winter as the road to Dettifoss still had snow and ice on the road. We were exhausted by the end of it and totally worth the money! Thank you Siggi and Star Travel 🤩
Thank you so much for your amazing review 🤩 We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful and adventure-filled day exploring Lake Mývatn, Goðafoss, and Dettifoss. Siggi will be so happy to read your kind words — he always strives to make each tour both informative and enjoyable. It’s great to know you enjoyed the scenery, the local food, and the comfort of traveling with us. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another Star Travel adventure 🌿 Warm regards, The Star Travel Team
Sigi was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, interesting and engaging. Looked after us very well, noted our concerns about walking on ice (crampons provided) and made an extra stop for us to see part of the lake we asked about and had previously visited in summer. Lunch stop at Myvatn nature baths not specifically mentioned in itinerary but lovely place to stop for lunch. Smoked trout very good! We will book again with Star Travel and hope to get Sigi again.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review 💙 We’re delighted to hear that your day exploring Lake Mývatn and Dettifoss was such a great experience, and that Siggi made it both informative and personal. He always takes care to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable, especially in icy conditions. We’re also glad you enjoyed the lunch stop at the Nature Baths — and yes, the smoked trout is definitely a favourite! 😋 Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to welcoming you again — hopefully with Siggi as your guide once more 🌿 Warm regards, The Star Travel Team
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!
Thank you so much for your kind review 🌿 We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed both your Lake Mývatn & Dettifoss day tour and the Northern Lights tour! Siggi will be thrilled to hear your kind words — he always takes pride in explaining, sharing stories, and creating a friendly atmosphere for everyone. Thank you for choosing Star Travel for two tours, and we hope to welcome you again for another adventure from Akureyri 💫 Warm regards, The Star Travel Team
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.
Thank you so much for writing us a positive feedback. We're really happy you had a good experience with us and with Hjálmar. Best regards, the Star Travel team
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.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback towards Star Travel and Hjálmar. We are so glad you had a great experience with us! We would suggest a stop at an ice cream place for all tourists to get a local experience. Us Icelanders indulge on ice cream in every weather, all year round! Thanks again for the review, Best regards, the Star Travel team
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!
Thank you for a great day and very nice review. Hope to see you again. Kind regards Reynir
Well I booked a flight with Iceland air to fly there for the day. The night before less than 24 hr the tour was canceled due to weather. I’m out the flight money for 2 people can’t get that back. Very upset that they didn’t canceled 24 hrs before I feel some one should at less give me some money back Don’t book with Iceland air no refund and no he tour company should of cancelled why before less then 8 hrs before that flight. We all see the weather on the tv new the storm was coming.
Dear traveler We are sorry about how this day turned out for you. We knew about the snow storm and we had earlier canceled the tours on the day of the storm. Your tour was scheduled day after the storm when the weather was supposed to have passed by, according to the weather forecast. Unfortunately the forecast changed as it got closer to the tour and we sent you an email at 3pm the day before the tour to let you know that we might not be able to operate the tour because of the weather. We got no reply from you so couple of hours later we called you to let you know about the situation and in the next hours we were in touch by phone and messages. We did not cancel your tour but explained that there was a risk that we could not operate the tour and you would be stuck in Akureyri for the day. However, if you wanted to fly north we would operate the tour if it was possible and safe to drive to Lake Myvatn. You of course got a full refund from us but we can not take responsibility for the refund policies of Icelandair. We sincerely hope you had a lovely stay in Iceland and if you ever decide to come back we would appreciate hearing from you and we will do our best to make up for this lost day.
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.
It was amazing. Very packed day, so so much that we saw, and had wonderful ice cream and lunch. Such a packed day!
