We originally had a whale watching tour arranged for the day we arrived in Akureyri however it was snowing and windy when we landed - our awesome guide Teddy was there to meet us at the airport and apologised that the tour was cancelled (probably all week) due to the weather. However he promptly arranged an alternative for us to... More

I took the day tour with Saga travel in a superjeep to Lake Myvatn in Northern Iceland. The travel was very comfortable with a nice small group. The booking was easy to do. The guide was excellent making it fun and giving lots of information as well as answering loads of our questions. It was not rushed and a great... More

I went on the Northern Lights tour with Saga and really enjoyed it. They were very good at arranging it last minute and picking me up from my hotel. Our guide Teddy was very nice and gave us some background about the area and the northern lights. He was also very patient as the northern lights didn't really come out... More

Like many these days we visited Iceland with very little knowledge of, Iceland, its people, its culture and most of all the beauty of its landscapes. We tracked down Saga Travel before we traveled and pre booked 2 full day tours and a Northern Lights evening tour. The level of service we found exceeded all our expectations, from being meet...

I recently visited Iceland, primarily to see the Northern Lights, but ended up falling in love with the country and its people. I spent a magical 2 days in Akureyri and went on 2 tours with Saga Travel. I knew nothing about this company before i went, wrongly assuming they were part of Saga the British travel/insurance group! The first... More

We had such a fantatic time. Akureyri is so friendly. Saga Travel provided such personal service from Inga collecting us from the airport and taking us on a marvellous Northern Lights hunt by jeep, to an unforgettable Lake Myvatn tour on the next day with Inky. Thanks to both Inky & Inga for taking such good care of us. I... More

We have returned from a 4 night saty in Iceland having opted to travel north to Akureyri with the aim of having a better chance of seeing the northern lights. We were met from the airport and given a brief but informative tour of the town on the way to the hotel. Later that eveining we left town in a... More

We went on the Northern Lights and Lake Myvatn (with some detours!) tours during a short (2 nights) stay in Akureyri. They were both great experiences, and we were lucky enough to see a lovely auroral display. The guides (Harry and Holly) were really enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, and the other members of Saga that we met during the course... More

The area may be lonely and sometimes overwhelming and if you can't appreciate wild and untouched beauty it may not be for you. But it was the best for us. I had read so much about Iceland and had so high expectations for our long trip all the way from Argentina that when all our dreams came true it was... More
