Akureyri Lake Myvatn Godafoss and Lava Fields Tour

HUITZU_S, Sep 2026

I had a great experience...

I had a great experience with Aviator. My friends had accidentally left two hats on a Magic Iceland Travel bus a few days ago. Since I was taking a Magic Iceland tour today through Aviator, they asked me if I could help ask about the hats. I really didn’t expect much, but the Magic Iceland team was so kind and helpful. They found both hats and, at the end of the day, personally delivered them back to my friends’ cruise ship! ❤️ I was very impressed by their kindness and excellent service. Thank you, Aviator and Magic Iceland Travel, for going the extra mile! 🇮🇸❤️

Goðafoss Waterfall and Turf House Tour from Akureyri Port

Susan_C, Sep 2026

Informative and Fun

Sit back, relax and enjoy learning information about this area. of Iceland. The turf houses are very interesting. You are able to go into a large Turf House and see how Icelanders lived in the 18th century. Gooafoos waterfall was very beautiful and there were fairly new walkways. The souvenir shop seemed quite new too and very well stocked. Enjoy.

From Akureyri Port: Godafoss Waterfall Tour for Cruise Ships (V)

Doug_W, Sep 2026

Godfoss waterfall from cruise port

Great trip - pickup was just off the ship behind the huts selling tours. Guide was local and very informative & spoke fluent English. Scenic drive to the falls - just watch out for the midges which are a bit annoying especially near the top of the waterfall. Extensive gift shop onsite with snack and coffee facilities. WC is payable by card only. On the way back we stopped at a scenic viewpoint which looked over the Fjord and where the ship docked. Drop off options at the springs, botanical gardens, town centre or back to the port. Overall very good value considering the ships excursion was 3x the price.

Don’t go chasing waterfalls…let Saga take you!!

Absolutely fabulous few hours… the perfect amount of time. Great tour guide, and comfortable coach. We had perfect weather and our guide was so knowledgeable. We loved it purely because it wasn’t an all day activity. Highly recommend Saga for day trips…you won’t be disappointed.

Godafoss Waterfall Shore Excursion From Akureyri Port

Helen_W, Sep 2026

Stunning Godafoss

Brilliant excursion to Godafoss waterfall. Easy to find where to get the coach, Graham our driver (a fellow Brit) was a great tour guide and it was really interesting to listen to him enroute, he is very knowledgeable. The waterfall is absolutely stunning and there is a cafe, gift shop and hotel there. We had a drink and sat outside the hotel but be aware if you haven’t purchased anything they do charge to use the toilet. We spent an hour at the falls which was just the right amount of time. Beware the flies which were rife, I think due to it being a sunny day. On the way back Graham made a photo viewpoint stop and passengers could get off at forest lagoon. We got off at the botanical gardens rather than going straight back to the port. Fabulous trip we are so glad we booked.

Cruise Tour Godafoss Turf Houses and Forest Baths Small Group

Nancy_S, Aug 2026

Stupendous sites

It was well planned and our guide Baldna(?) was very accommodating and knowledgeable. We visited the turf houses, amazing Godafoss Falls with a rainbow and Forest Lagoon. On the way we pulled over and got to see the horses. There were only 4 of us on the tour which is a nice departure from the crowed tours with a paddle!

Wonderful day seeing the...

Wonderful day seeing the main sights. We never got to the caves as some travellers were always late getting back by the meeting times so by the end of the tour we had no time left for this part. wish we had longer at the earth lagoon.. it was the highlight of the day. Such a wonderful day.

Lake Mývatn & Goðafoss Waterfall from Akureyri Port

Dawn_C, Aug 2026

Fantastic trip, guide Gabba was brilliant!

This trip was brilliant and the amount of geothermal things we saw and the scenery was stunning. We had Dabba as our local guide and she drove the minibus. Dabba is from Akureyi and she gave us so much interesting and useful information, it was brilliant! Dabba also gave us a little tour of parts of Akureyi on route which was lovely to see. We did this tour which picked us up and dropped us back to our cruise ship. We saw the pseudocraters, lava fields of Dimmuborgir, Hverir geothermal area with its bubbling mud pools, steaming fumaroles and a landscape like the moon was amazing. The strong smell of sulphur is not very nice! We also went to Godafoss waterfall that was beautiful with its glacial water. It was lovely that a stop at a cafe in Godafoss for coffee and a treat was included in the tour and a welcome break. We felt the trip was well worth the money and experience. It would have been good to have had a little bit longer in each place but knew timings had to be strict as we all had to get back to our cruise ship.

Lake Myvatn, Hot-Springs & Godafoss Waterfall Tour from Akureyri

Saquib_R, Aug 2026

Amazing experience!

Please make sure you have Kiersten as your guide! Thoroughly knowledgeable from top to bottom. Knew everything about anything. We were extremely lucky this day. Picture perfect postcard day. Not a cloud in the sky, so that helped. The waterfall was beautiful, the boiling pots were amazing. The Icelandic landscape makes you feel like you’re on another planet. Downfall of course because it was a summer day, there were bus fulls, and two cruise ships in town, so all the sights were riddled with tourists, But Kiersten was truly amazing! You can tell she loves her job, took time to talk to us individually, answer any questions we threw at her. So great tour guide + great weather = great experience!

Lake Mývatn and Goðafoss Shared Shore Excursions

Heather_K, Jul 2026

5 stars all the way!

We had an excellent experience. Our guide “Siggy” was amazing! A native of the area and very knowledgeable and friendly. Easy to find and was waiting right outside the cruise ship. Great communication the day before confirming our pick up location and time. Highly recommended. Don’t hesitate to book this tour! 5 stars

Forest Lagoon Admission Ticket with Towel and One Drink included

Jeffrey_L, Jul 2026

Relaxing Experience

With the shuttle being right at the cruise pier it was easy to get to the lagoon. The lagoon was not crowded and not touristy, many locals go to this lagoon. Beautiful view of the fjord. Changing rooms and shower facilities very clean. The drink selection at the swim-up bars is somewhat limited, but this did not lessen the experience. A very reasonable price especially considering transportation was included.

Lake Myvatn, Dettifoss and Goddafoss Waterfalls Day Tour from Akureyri

Kremena_K, Oct 2025

Our guide Nordbert was...

Our guide Nordbert was amazing. He cared for everyone in the group and was very cautious about the weather conditions all the time. He even provided the group with spikes for the slippery terrains around Goddafoss and Dettifoss. He also told us so many curious facts about Iceland. Not the whole group wanted to visit the thermal baths, so he immediately found another thing for us to do. I would recommend this experience to anyone!
