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!

    Wonderful waterfall..well worth the trip! The guide was very informative and provided a good commentary throughout

    Definitely recommend

    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.

    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.

    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

    The waterfalls are...

    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.

    Very enjoyable tour to...

    Very enjoyable tour to beautiful waterfalls. Very scenic drive. Knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend

    Great experience!

    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!

    Delightful Akureyri

    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.

    What a View

    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.

    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.

    Beautiful tour!

    It was a lot in 6 1/2 hours with lots of driving and not much time at each stop. BUT....you see all the great sights! Well worth it!!

    very impressive

    Mark_B, Jun 2026
    very good tour with an outstanding guide very comical and informative slight confusion tref tour operator name but we were on his list highy recommended

    Informative short tour

    Helen_C, Jun 2026
    An informative short tour with approximately 50 minutes to spend at the waterfall and a short photo stop at a viewpoint on the way back. The route back was different to the one going, which made it more interesting. The waterfall is stunning (and no climbing needed to get to it) and the guide was very good.

    Great tour to Godafoss

    Derek_K, Jun 2026
    Great tour to Godafoss. The charter bus was spacious, clean, and comfortable— It even had a bathroom. The tour guide was very friendly and entertaining. The tour itself was very timely. While the tour provides enough time to enjoy the waterfall, I wish we had even more time.
