Iceland travel guide and tour reviews
A couple hours can feel like a whole Iceland adventure. This 2-hour UTV buggy tour in Myvatn is built for big scenery and real driving, without turning your day into a marathon. You’ll get clear safety guidance, a small-group ride (up to 10), and a route picked for views and geology around Reykjahlíð. Two things … Read more
Iceland’s lava day feels like a movie set. This guided route pairs the dramatic power of Goðafoss with the weird beauty around Lake Myvatn, then finishes with time at the geothermal Myvatn Nature Baths. I like how the tour strings together big sights without wasting your day driving blind. Two things I really love: the … Read more
Mývatn on a snowmobile feels like a cheat code to winter. This tour in Reykjahlíð mixes guided training with a full view of the frozen lake and the volcanic contrast of black lava against white snow. I especially like the practical gear setup (you get warm overalls and a helmet), and I also like the … Read more
That smoke and steam in North Iceland. This short 6-hour day trip is built for big visual payoffs, hopping between Mývatn geothermal terrain, strange lava formations, and the Goðafoss Waterfall scene tied to the saga age. You’ll get guidance on what you’re seeing, then move on before the light changes too much. I especially like … Read more

I also like two things a lot: the guide-led talk that ties what you see to the volcanic story of the Mývatn area, and the … Read more
Somehow this husky experience feels bigger. In Reykjahlíð at Snow DogsVallholt, you’ll join a small group for a dry-land dog cart tour led by a musher from Snow Dogs Iceland. It’s exciting to feel the power of Siberian huskies pulling you through the countryside, and it’s even better that you get a proper kennel visit … Read more
Askja in one day? Yes. This Super Jeep trip from Lake Mývatn pushes into the Icelandic Highlands to hit the big-ticket sights: a waterfall stop at Gljúfrasmiður, a soak at Víti crater, and major Askja caldera viewpoints, all with a guide who keeps the day moving. You’ll also travel with a small group (up to … Read more
Winter at Lake Mývatn turns everyday driving into real adventure. I like that this tour starts with a proper safety briefing and clear handling tips, plus you’ll get to ride through volcanic winter terrain with storytelling along the way. The one thing to think about: steering is noticeably harder if you’re riding with a passenger, … Read more
