Review of the Askja and Holuhraun Super Jeep tour from Lake Myvatn, with itinerary, price, practical tips, and who should book.

Explore Iceland’s Lofthellir ice cave near Mývatn with an off-road drive, icy tunnels, expert guidance, and a small group of up to 10.
“This was a very interesting tour....however, it will be difficult for someone to doif they are claustrophobic or in bad shape/lack mobility. This tour requires squeezing through a couple of tight spaces and sliding on ice. It was really fun....but something that we were not fully aware of when signing up. I had taken an expensive camera and backpack with me....only to have to leave my backpack in the trailer and have the guide help me navigating the ropes and my camera. I would have brought a small bag to hold my camera while on this tour....if I knew in advance. You are on your back a number of times…”

Explore Lake Mývatn, Goðafoss, geothermal baths, and Northern Lights near Akureyri on a flexible two-day small-group tour.
“Excellent in all aspects. Pick up easy and straightforward. Northern lights evening and Myvatn trips lead by Sigi who kept us informed and entertained. Great lights show and the lake trip was excellent with lots of interesting stops never feeling rushed and plenty of time to explore. The baths were closed for refurbishment so drive 45 mins for an alternative we opted to not do this as been in the forest lagoon the evening prior, but sigi dropped us in a local town to explore whilst others visited the baths.”
Pick a glacier, a harbour or a hot spring.
