This tour was simply awesome. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The tour stops were perfect. The Lagos stop is a must.
Shirley_R, Jun 2026
The tour was nice but the bus was small. It seated 16 people and all 16 seats were full. I had the misfortune of getting on the bus last and I was stuck with the very last seat. Very uncomfortable seating. The driver Ohn was very nice, gave us a lot of information. The scenery at Godafoss was spectacular. The Laufas was interesting. Best of all was the Forrest Lagoon spa. We stopped 50 mins at the Laufas but only an hour at the spa. 20 mins is sufficient for the Laufas, more time should be allocated to the spa experience. Please consider this as it is the highlight of our trip. Just the time at the spa was short.

A perfect 5 hour tour, we were able to view the beautiful Godafoss Waterfall, the Turf House and enjoy the Forest Lagoon Baths.

Our driver was great. Went to waterfalls & Forest Lagoon. Could have spent a little more time in the lagoon.

The guides were very k owledgeable and fun - we saw waterfalls and the turf houses and were able to get some shopping in as well. Great tour I highly recommend

Waterfalls, beautiful landscapes, swimming in a natural mineral hot springs while surrounded by huge snow-capped mountains

Great tour of the Norwegian countryside with a local resident. Our guide was the owner of the company. He’s lived his whole life in the area so knows it well. He is a small business owner.
The places we went to were interesting. A nice walk to a waterfall, a visit to the turf houses and then to the thermal baths.
We also had a very interesting stop inside the tunnel that goes through the mountain.
We were back to the cruise ship in plenty of time for departure.

Baldor was lovely
Thoroughly enjoyed the stop and easy pick up from our port and drop off in plenty of time
Lisa_T, Sep 2025
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.

What a great day! Our guide was amazing - so knowledgable and engaging! We loved everything we saw and did. And the Forest baths at the end were soooo much fun and beautiful. And who doesnt appreciate a swim up bar. Try a “Sarti” spritz!
Elizabeth_B, Sep 2025
From the time of pick-up which was super easy, and the tour and guide was fabulous would highly recommend!
MARY_M, Sep 2025
Great tour. Guide provided a lot of local insights. Forest Lagoon is as crowded but still very nice.
Soek_W, Aug 2025
Goddafoss Falls a must do in Akeuryri . Bucket list ticked! The Turf Houses were also very interesting and we ended up in the Forest Lagoon for a lovely soak in the warm thermal water. Badhur from Fox Adventure was a great guide and driver!
Kathleen_V, Aug 2025
Baldur, our expert guide, was an amazing person to show us his town. We got local insight into all things Icelandic including which farmers were his friends, were selling their farms, etc. He was very genuine, kind and funny and a great guide. We started at the Goddafoss waterfall, slowed in the road to see Icelandic horses up close, got an inside tour at the tunnel where we were able to FEEL the hot springs coursing through, went to the turf houses and ended at the lovely Forrest Lagoon. Such an adventure! Note that the Forrest Lagoon tickets were not included and we had to pay for those in addition to what we already paid for the tour (it's in the exclusions section). We plan to go back to Iceland soon and if we are in Akureyri again we will absolutely ask Baldur and Fox Adventures to be our tour guides again on a slightly different adventure! Highly recommend!

Great communication from the guide. Easy to locate at the port. The trip to the waterfall, the sod houses and the geothermal Forest Lagoon were all fantastic.
Susan_B, Aug 2025
Saw a bit of everything. Of course ending in hot springs was a great ending. The smaller van was better then the big bed and very comfy
Julie_C, Aug 2025
Fantastic trip with “Garfield” as our guide. He took us to a few places to see on the way to the specific destinations so we learned more about Iceland and the culture and heritage here. Godafoss was beautiful! The Turf Houses were a fascinating piece of history. We also loved the Forest Lagoon though it’s a very small place. Worth the money for the trip!
Ashley_M, Aug 2025
We had THE BEST day! Baldur was the sweetest, most attentive and knowledgeable guide we’ve ever encountered on a cruise excursion. NOT booking through our cruise line was the best decision! We were picked up right at our ship, rode around in a clean Mercedes van, and spent the day with a very small group. The stops were exactly as described and we couldn’t have been any happier with how the day unfolded. The waterfall was breathtaking, the turf houses were super cool and the lagoon was incredibly relaxing. We would absolutely do this again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting this adorable city in Iceland!
margie_g, Aug 2025
our guide was very informative and took us to some places that were not listed on our tour. We had the owner of Fox adventures but i forgot his name
Kelly_B, Aug 2025
Highly recommend this tour. Our guide was very informative, and I loved the small group size. We had plenty of time at each stop and I did not feel rushed.
ANNETTE_S, Aug 2025
Baltur (sounds like Walter but with a B) was so personable, kind and funny. Clearly a proud Icelander and lover of animals! The coach was very comfortable and with him the day flew by! A couple of notes re forest baths- staff were not friendly nor particularly helpful. Our check in fellow knew that all 12 of us were first timers but I found his information scant and lacking in warmth and welcome. We did not know that a towel was not included in the entry price so had to find out while dripping wet after our showers. All in all, Fox Adventures delivered a very good day and experience. We would definitely sign up for another day with Baltur (sp)
Dusty_K, Aug 2025
The tour and all three stops were great experiences. Our guide, Baldur, was an excellent tour guide. Very friendly knowledgeable about the stops and about general life in Iceland. The smaller group was also a plus and the bus was very comfortable. I absolutely recommend booking this tour.
Adria_M, Aug 2025
Fox Adventures provided the perfect excursion experience for us. We were on a later tour and were nervous about making it back to the ship in time but our guide made sure we were back with 30 minutes to spare.

Lisa_W, Jul 2025
This was fantastic experience! Driver was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. We especially loved the mineral springs. So relaxing! The walk up bar was also a delight.
Stephanie_K, Jul 2025
Great trip. Really enjoyed the farm/thatch house stop. Small facility that felt more intimate and genuine. Didn’t need extra visit to see horses
Jonathan_P, Jul 2025
A perfect day!
Our tour guide was exceptional. One of the best we have ever had! Fox Adventure is a great small business!
The waterfall is beautiful. You can walk to the left and right of it and also walk to the base. We had a little over an hour to explore and found that to be the right amount of time.
The Turf House and Church were so unique and well preserved. The docent was very informative and helpful. The setting is stunning! We stayed there about an hour also. They have a little shop with many handmade items. The staff makes many of them!
The Forest Lagoon was both relaxing and fun! The main pool is very large and the temperature is great. There is smaller but still large 40-41 C pool if you want it hotter and a 18 C cold plunge pool. Plus the dry steam sauna.
There are 2 swim up bars and a restaurant.
They give you a wrist band with an electronic chip that you use to order drinks and lock/unlock the complimentary lockers. You pay as you exit.
You can stay as long as you want, it is open until midnight! Just tell the driver you would like to stay longer. There is a complimentary shuttle that will take you back to town.
It is a wonderful place!

This small tour group is perfect, our guide was so friendly and full of information and kindness. We would definitely recommend this tour company. It is not rushed, stops are just the right amount of time. The guide is a local and really gives you a feel of the area. Tour bus is comfortable and the driver is careful at driving, book it, you won't be disappointed!
Lori_C, Jul 2025
Headed out on our excursion to Godafoss, then to Laufás, ending with Forest Lagoon and were not disappointed. Our tour guide was AWESOME! We had a great time hearing all the interesting information he shared throughout the tour, which he personalized for our small group. The stops were amazing & we never felt rushed. If you want a more personalized experience THIS is the group to go with!
Jennifer_S, Jul 2025
Touring with Viator and our guide Baltar was fantastic! He had great stories to share and did much more than just what was in the tour description! Wild Islandic horses! The waterfalls were pretty awesome, too!
