Worth a visit
It was so good we went there twice :)
Amazing views and staff. Cocktails were nice and everything was very clean.
Just a warning that when you book the 10pm slot the pool and bar closes at 11:30pm which we were not warned about.
It is a custom to shower naked before going in and when coming out of the pool, but there are shower cubicles for the people that would rather have privacy. Only one cubicle for changing. This didn’t bother us but it may bother some.
It is an experience that you have to do when visiting Akurayri :)
We had the first drink free with the and and additional drinks were around the £4-£10 mark which is reasonable enough.

Godafoss Falls is a MUST!
This was a wonderful tour. The tour operator responded promptly to our inquiry regarding meeting location.
Our tour guide was friendly and full of information. She chattered the entire time to each location with wonderful information and cute stories.
Our driver was very skilled driving the winding roads.
The falls were easily accessible and a MUST SEE. Absolutely gorgeious.
We enjoyed the visit to the Tuff houses and seeing the history of the local area.
The Forest Bath house was wonderful. They rent bathing suits & towels if you forget (which my suit was left in our room!). Glad I was able to participate because we had already paid for the entrance fee and we realized when we arrived my suit was missing.

Breathtaking beauty.
Outstanding scenery with an informative, personable guide. We took the scenic route to the magnificent waterfalls passing through the countryside where homes and farms sit nestled at the base of snow capped volcanic peaks. This is Iceland at its best.

Great Day Tour for Cruisers
Excellent tour from start to finish. The orange-colored Saga Travel booth was clearly visible immediately after debarking our ship in the Akureyi cruise port. Saga Travel attendants directed us to bus, which left on time. Extremely knowledgeable tour guide, Runar, provided the perfect mix of history and storytelling, with a bit of geology mixed-in, throughout the trip. He also provided more detailed answers to specific questions - excellent guide! Driver, Andrei, was also fabulous. Of course the tour itinerary was as advertised - all of the stops were amazing. Our free coffee and donut at the Godafoss waterfall was a nice treat. None of the stops felt rushed. As other reviewers mentioned, be prepared for sun, rain, wind and varying temperatures in the same day. There is also a bit of walking to get close over both paved and uneven ground to get close to the sites. Our fitness app logged close to 5 miles over the day. We returned to the ship well-ahead of our departure time. Definitely recommend this tour.

Well-organized experience...
Well-organized experience with enjoyable stops at turf homes, Godafoss Falls, and Forest Lagoon. Adequate time provided at each stop and good tour guide info along the way on a comfortable motor coach. Easily found from cruise ship port. Highly recommended if these are sights you're interested in.

Amazing!
This is a true bucket list for us! So exciting and thrilling to see these amazing giants up close! Our guide very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. This was well organized and everything we had hoped for! We got so close we could smell the whales breath!

The waterfall,...
The waterfall, Laufáskirkja, and Christmas house were all wonderful to visit. I wish we would have had a few more minutes to visit the waterfall. The guide was friendly and informative. We appreciated him taking us to the refuge in the tunnel. The guide at Laufas was wonderful and sweet.

Perfect for Cruise Port Excursion
My adult family of 4 booked this about a week before our excursion date. All 4 of us were overwhelmed with, not just the beauty of Northern Iceland, but the excursion itself! Johanna was full of energy, informative and safe. The 19-person van felt like it was like-new. HIGHLY recommend by all 4 of us!

Informative guide enhanced the experience
Our guide was absolutely amazing. He gave us a lot of background and fun facts type of information. He was also funny and knowledgeable. The waterfall was absolutely amazing too but all the other info and facts that our guide shared with us made the whole experience much better

Meet at the bus not by the huts
It was a great excursion. Saw the waterfall, Lake Mvatan and went to the baths! 2 hours was the perfect amount of time for the baths.
We did not get lunch but we didn’t mind, we have been sating too much on the ship

Great tour with an experienced tour guide
We made this excursion when had our stop with our cruise in Akureri and it was a perfect excursion. We first planned to only make a trip to the waterfall, but then decided to upgrade to the longer tour which was definitely a good idea as there is much more to see, and our tour guide made a great effort to show us hidden gems like the hidden underground thermal cave and - as there was still some time - did a loop with the bus through the quartiers of Akureri. We highly appreciated this extra effort by our tour guide. Many thanks.

Honest review: completely amazing
Honest review: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We went on July 6 2025 at 9am. I went whale watching in Canada and Australia but this tour was far beyond better than anywhere else. The on board marine scientist was so sweet and knowleadgable. The captain was really good at managing the boat and we were always at the right spot a the good Time to see whales compared to other boats. We saw at least 10 whales and Even dolphins! I would recommend this tour early in the morning and in the summer months! We also saw many puffins on the water so I wouldn’t recommend the tour whale + puffin since we see so many of them on the water anyways.
