This was a packed tour that covered a lot of places but it was well worth it. Super fun and the nature bath stop was a highlight. Having gone to the Blue Lagoon a few days ago, I can say that this stop was so much better. The ambience, cost, and overall calmness of this lagoon was a stark contrast to the chaos and crowds of the Blue Lagoon. One thing I will say about this tour is that it really needs to be stated in the listing that travelers should consider bringing a bug net or something to cover their head from the MILLIONS of midges (that’s what they are called in Iceland) aka black flies that show up at all the locations except the nature baths and lava formations because they were super annoying and frustrating. It’s was rather disgusting and impacted our tour experience even though I know it was not the guide’s fault.
A very long day, so much to see! Bring your own head net? (Little bug like flies) We were lucky it wasn't too bad as still a tiny bit of wind. Pick the washroom stop so you don't need to pay, there were 2 stops that washroom is free. But overall a very fun day!
Thank you for your review 🌿 We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed your day exploring Lake Mývatn and the surrounding highlights. It truly is a full day with many unique places to discover! Mývatn’s small midges are a natural part of the area, and conditions can vary depending on wind and weather. Thank you for travelling with Star Travel — we hope to welcome you again! 💙 Warm regards, Reynir — on behalf of the Star Travel Team
One of the many perfect excursions for cruise goers! You are picked up right at the pier as you get off the ship along with easy check in. Company keeps you updated with the latest pickup locations and times and returns communications in a very timely manner. You will have plenty of time before ship gangway pulls with the duration. Guides were friendly and knowledgeable. My husband and I learned more about Iceland, and its culture and were well informed on the stops visited. The tour left in the morning and returned in the evening. All of the stops were amazing, and we were given lots of information prior to arrival. There was plenty of time at each stop even with the crowds. Godafoss is spectacular and worth the battling of the crowds to get that perfect view for the little hike down to the water level. Just be careful because it was slippery. Thankfully the flies were at a minimum at the lake and didn't require a face net. Our favorite was the soak in the earth lagoon. It is an additional cost, but well worth it! Especially great tour if you are into Game of Thrones. Gave a good break in the day. Definitely worth the price and would definitely recommend!

We had a great time on this review. Hogi (sp?) did a great job herding this group. Everything was the right amount of time, and adjustments made for closures happened on the fly. We saw everything except the baths and they offered a close in alternative if you wanted to do it anyway.
