5.00This tour was part of a package to Akureyri from the UK, and it was a highlight. There were around 15 of us on the minibus and the trip lasted around 6-7 hours. Our guide Norbert was a funny and friendly guy who told us lots of fascinating facts throughout the day, and we felt safe with him driving around the icy mountain roads - thanks for a great day Norbert! We went to the Goðafoss waterfall for sunrise, the Skútustaðagígar pseudo-craters, Dimmuborgir, Námaskarð geothermal fields, Grjótagjá cave, and even stopped off at the side of the road to feed some Icelandic horses. We were back with plenty of time to eat, drink and rest ahead of the Northern Lights tour, also given by Norbert. The only real downside was that the Mývatn baths were closed until spring 2026 for refurbishment, which wasn't the case when we booked, but that was through no fault of Imagine Iceland, and all of the other activities made up for it. We also had tickets to the Lagoon Spa which helped scratch the geothermal spa itch, though the Akureyri swimming pool would also have been good!
Amazing trip

5.00Our guide was really knowledgeable on all aspects of Iceland and its culture and I personally learned so much about the Island. Unable to do thermal bathing due to closure of the facility but this allowed more time on the other attractions.
A must do in the north of Iceland!

5.00Absolutely amazing experience! Our guide was so friendly and really wanted to make sure we all had the experience we wanted! The tour itself was fantastic, an absolute must if you're travelling to Akureyri, an easy and hassle-free way to travel out of the city and see some of the unbelievable surrounding landscapes of the countryside!
Fantastic excursions from Akureyri. Northern Lights success and an amazing Lake Mývatn day

5.00We did a few excursions with Imagine Iceland Travel and had a really great experience. For both tours we were picked up from Hotel Akureyri, which made everything easy. The Northern Lights trip was a success, we saw the lights, and the guide was happy to go past the planned finish time because it took a while for the clouds to clear. It felt like they genuinely wanted us to get the experience, not just stick to a strict schedule. Our Lake Mývatn day tour with Ármann was the highlight. Because the light levels were low in the morning, he rearranged the order of the stops to make the most of the day, and even with the changes, we never felt rushed. We still saw loads, and Ármann was friendly, personable, and really knowledgeable throughout. Honestly can’t recommend them enough.

5.00This is an amazing tour! Absolutely stunning scenery. Our guide, Arman, has a deep knowledge and clear love for Iceland. We have done several tours from Akureyri using this company and they have all been great. We would recommend booking with them.

5.00Great day seeing the Godafoss Waterfall and volcanic countryside. Our guide did a great job with arranging our itinerary to avoid the large cruise ship crowds. He was also good to handle adjustments so that all participants were able to do what they wanted to see and do.
