A Great Day Out - Daniel ensured that this trip was way above what I expected. He promptly replied to my messages when I booked in Australia. Nothing was too much for him. The itinerary was fabulous. The 2 waterfalls were stunning as was the view over Lake Myvatn. Daniel provided home made rye bread as a snack which was very welcome and yummy. The stop at Jardhitabad was divine. We could have stayed longer bathing in this beautiful Lagoon but Daniel assured us it would be bad for our health. The walk through Myndun Dimmuborga was breathtaking. Nature truly is beautiful. Make sure you wear warm clothing and be prepared to walk.

Great tour, even in poor weather - Our guide Norbert was fantastic. The weather wasn’t the best so we couldn’t see some of the sites, but the “important” ones were all accessible. Despite the poor weather, Norbert did an excellent job safely driving us to all the sites, all while keeping us informed with facts throughout the day. I highly recommend this tour, and if you can….request Norbert to be your guide!

Crappy weather but wonderful guide!! - Weather was pretty crappy (rained entire time). But our guide Icky was fantastic and made us forget about the weather!! He is a native Icelander from the area (actually drove by his childhood farm), and gave us great explanations of everything. He was proud and enthusiastic about his homeland which made for an excellent day!

Great day tour - Great day - great guide. Some things I was a bit at a loss to see why we were there but maybe that was because of the amount of snow. The baths were fantastic and although you need to pay extra you totally should we left the waterfall til the end as too dark in the morning and I’m so glad we did. A fitting finale
