Niels was very nice and had good stories and information about the area.
Godafoss was amazing. We had about 50 minutes there, it was perfect to see a few different viewpoints and go to the go to the gift shop.
The bus was very comfortable and clean.

I had trouble with the charge for this experience. Charged twice and can’t get any response from Viator to messages. The operator had the 2 participants booked twice for the same tour so 4 people (2 x 2) instead of 2 and duplicate charges have come through on my credit card.

45+ minutes drive with no facilities on the bus. Paid toilets at the destination gift shop. Tap to pay.

Amazing experience. Our guide Thor was the best. He made sure we had enough time at each location. And he arranged our tour so we were at the location before the other tour buses.

Easy drive to beautiful waterfalls. Comfortablle bus, good narration during drive. Easy to find at the port.
Terrye_H, Aug 2026
The tour guide was wonderful, provided lots of good information and local color. The waterfall was beautiful. The pickup from the cruise terminal was flawless. There was internet on the bus. Afterwards they offered dropoffs at the botanic gardens or near the city center before returning to the cruise terminal. This was a great afternoon excursion!

This tour was canceled 10 minutes before it was supposed to start as we were waiting outside the bus. They told us that it was rescheduled to an hour later and that they would not guarantee we would be back to our ship on time. They did tell us that we could request a refund via Viator and that they would help to make sure we got our money back.

Seeing the Godafoss waterfalls is a great excursion and the country side view was amazing Viator made this affordable

Fantastic scenery on the way and at the falls. Easy smooth paths. Friendly and informative tour guide. They dropped us at the Forest Lagoon on the way back which was great

It is expensive for what it is. but so is everything in Iceland. Bus is nice and convenient pick up at the cruise ship

Wonderful waterfall..well worth the trip! The guide was very informative and provided a good commentary throughout
Kari_S, Jul 2026
This was a perfect experience. The driver was on time and very informative during our best ride to the Falls. Once we got there, he dropped us off at an easy walking point. We were able to explore and I felt it was just the right amount of time as well as being able to go into the souvenir shop. It’s absolutely gorgeous and a perfect quick excursion. Thank you so much.

Guide was great. Trip was the right amount of time to see the waterfall. Two spots to find the bus but they are close together.
Andrew_B, Jul 2026
Quick excursion that was definitely worthwhile and slightly cheaper than other providers. Good organisation.
Chris_I, Jul 2026
The guide and the driver were very informative. Much cheaper than the shore excursion on the cruise ship.
William_L, Jul 2026

Linda_B, Jul 2026
Wonderful experience with breathtaking scenery. Guide was knowledgeable and experienced and friendly. Would give it full marks but I think it was a bit pricey.
Glenn_R, Jul 2026
Beautiful scenery, great knowledgeable guides, and luckily great weather. Stopped for scenic pictures on the way back to the shop to.
Marco_R, Jul 2026
Beautiful scenery. Very informative guide. The falls were magnificent. The tour guide was so accommodating allowing a choice to exit the bus at three distinct locations
Nancy_N, Jul 2026
The waterfalls are beautiful and worth the experience. We had to wait for a new bus, which was not an issue for us. But, the trip only lasted 2-hours when it’s advertised for 2.5. We would love to have more time at the falls. It was a rainy, cloudy day, so we didn’t need the city view stop. Seeing the falls was worth it.
Louis_R, Jul 2026
Very enjoyable tour to beautiful waterfalls. Very scenic drive. Knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend
Jeffrey_K, Jul 2026
This was one of the highlights of our time in Iceland! Goðafoss is absolutely breathtaking, and the excursion was well organized from start to finish.
Our guide, Neil, truly made the experience exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. Throughout the tour, he shared interesting information about Iceland’s history, culture, and landscape while making everyone feel welcome. He was also happy to answer questions and made sure everyone had plenty of time to enjoy the waterfall and take photos without feeling rushed.
If you’re visiting Akureyri, I highly recommend this excursion. The scenery is incredible, and if you’re lucky enough to have Neil as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic experience!

A 21/2 hour tour to the Godafoss Waterfall with a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and provided plenty of information about not only the waterfall but the history and daily life of the area.
Stephen_C, Jul 2026
Excellent guide,reasonable price , back to ship with plenty of time
Comfortable coach,great experience
Elsa_R, Jul 2026
Guide picked Us up at Cruise Port, nice drive through City. Guide very informative. Weather unpredictable some Sun some rain, be prepared. We also had very high winds at falls. Worth the trip Spectacular site, Hugh place views everywhere. Gift shop, restaurant & restrooms with fee. Many, many other tourists there.
Joanne_L, Jul 2026
Great trip. Good driver. Learned a lot about the area and Iceland from guide on board. Enjoyed this tour immensely.
Melony_S, Jul 2026
What a wonderful excursion. Our tour guide was full of knowledge, provided interesting facts about Iceland, while we took in the beautiful scenery. Even dropped people off at the botanical gardens or town if they wanted to, on the way back from the falls. Well worth it!
Barry_M, Jul 2026
Poor instructions to find representative who wasn't even paying attention, thankfully another tour company pointed to the representative who still was quite disinterested. Tour itself was very good and guide was very informative and funny.
