My family visited Akureyri for the day from a cruise ship in August. We had an amazing tour of the Lake Myvatn area. By the end of the day, our guide Petur had become a member of the family. He took the time to stop and show us Iceland beyond moving from one landmark to the next. We explored streams, little shops, and horses. We tasted local chocolates, bread baked in the earth and Icelandic Coca Cola. He told us about living in the area and we learned about everything- the waterfalls, animals and local culture. We were sad to return to the ship! This tour was just what we were looking for and we will always remember the fun we had in Akureyri!
