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!

Our guide and driver Marika was amazing and very knowledgeable. All of the stops were well timed so we were leaving before the large cruise buses arrived. It was a great tour with beautiful varied sites. The vehicle was comfortable and clean. Wonderful Shore Excursion!

Well informed and versed tour guide! Monica was fantastic! The knowledge she shared will be remembered forever! Thank you!

Our guide, Marka (apologies if I’ve misspelled the name), was truly impressive, a real wealth of knowledge and information. We visited some incredible sites, and the tour brought everything to life, from Iceland’s geology and history to its culture and traditions.
I would highly recommend this trip and would happily do it all over again. The Earth Lagoon at the end was particularly special, do not miss it!
Brenda_S, Aug 2026
Tour guide was excellent. She was a young woman who grew up in the area and had wonderful things to share. Everyplace we stopped was excellent. My husband and I had been to a lagoon and had no interest in doing another one so we waited for a couple of hours while others did that. The waiting area was cold and uncomfortable. If you don’t want to do the lagoon, I would recommend not doing this tour. The rest of the tour was great, however and the people who did the springs really liked it.

Marika was an excellent tour guide and driver. Energetic, knowledgeable& personable. She explained all the locations thoroughly and went out of her way to accommodate each person. Tour covered many attractions. Highly recommend this tour and tour guide.
Teresa_W, Aug 2026
Marisa was a fantastic and very informative guide. Great tour with well timed and varied stops. Godafoss and the Mývatn baths were particularly enjoyable. Recommend the small group to beat the tour bus crowds
Elizabeth_M, Aug 2026
Our guide Javi was awesome! He knew anything and everything about Iceland. Explained all the stops and gave us trivia to go along with it. One note — the flies are ridiculous and it would be helpful to have a fly net for your face. The scenery was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
Michael_H, Aug 2026
Great small group tour!
Guide was fantastic and I would not hesitate in booking! It was a great day out from our cruise ship!
Top tip - take a head fly net as lots of flies at the lake to make your experience even more enjoyable.

The site locations were really good. I enjoyed visiting each destination. I was disappointed by the logistics. Drop off and pick up should have been in front of the entrance not at the other end of the parking lot or picking up at 10 minutes walk across the road when everyone had less than 30 minutes to explore. The last drop off should have been in front of each cruise ship especially when there is a road and a parking lot to drop people off. The company shouldn't book the same guests on two tours back to back so the entire group is rushed throughout the day only to accommodate 2 to 3 people when everyone else is made feel unappreciated. The tour should have been a bit longer to allow a little extra time at the lagoon and exploring the sights.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Dear Diana,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate it.
We're very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the locations we visited. Showing our guests the very best of North Iceland is always our goal.
There are, however, a couple of points that I would like to clarify, as I'm not entirely sure I understand what went wrong.
Regarding the meeting point and drop-off location, we have a small office in the port, and before every tour we send all of our guests detailed instructions explaining exactly where to find us. Depending on which side of the port the cruise ship docks, the walk is usually between 2 and 5 minutes. So far, our guests have generally found the meeting point easy to locate. If there was something specific that caused confusion in your case, I would be very grateful if you could let me know so we can improve.
Regarding the timing of the tour, we never schedule one of our tours immediately after another. In this particular case, a small family had independently booked a horseback riding excursion with a completely different company after our tour. Since we are a small family-run business, we always try to help our guests whenever we can. To make sure the rest of the group was not affected, we arranged separate transportation for that family at our own expense. We specifically did this so that no one else would feel rushed or overlooked.
Your tour lasted approximately 7.5 hours, which is exactly the standard duration described for this excursion. We also spent around 1 hour and 30 minutes at Earth Lagoon, exactly as advertised.
We always try to include more stops than many other companies because we genuinely want our tours to feel like showing Iceland to our own family and friends. That does make for a full day, and while we understand that some guests would always enjoy having more time at each location, this is actually the first time someone has mentioned feeling that the itinerary was too full.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We genuinely value constructive feedback, and we will certainly keep it in mind as we continue improving the experience for our future guests.
Kind regards,
Fox Adventure Team

This was a fantastic opportunity to see several beautiful sites all in the same day. Our tour guide did a great job of managing time and especially helping us avoid the large tour buses and crowds. She shared lots of interesting information and was very helpful throughout the day. We had a fun-filled day of Icelandic beauty followed by a relaxing soak in the Earth Lagoon.
Antonin_C, Aug 2026
Great small group trip
We enjoyed our guide and driver in one Marika. I love to stop at the newly refurbished earth pool. .
Geraldine_N, Jul 2026
Excellent tour with great driver/tour director Tom for Iceland.
He was informative, very knowledgeable & shared interesting stories that made the trip fun. The falls are one of the most scenic. For those who enjoy a short hike it was a special treat to be able to hike up to the base of the waterfall.
Janet_S, Jul 2026
This was a lovely trip and guide Marika was helpful and knowledgeable. For someone with limited stamina, I did find the walking more than expected. We had lovely weather and great views at all the stops. A memorable trip!
Francois_D, Jul 2026
Marika was excellent and answered my million questions honestly. She was very knowledgable about everything . Nothing bad to say
Ruslan_A, Jul 2026
This trip made me feel like Im visiting my best friend in Iceland as she was showing me around the best places they have, telling me funny local stories, superstitions and traditions along the way. Time flew very fast and it was totally worth it. Compared to big touris buses this tour had only 10 guests which made it extra special as well.
Would love to come back to enjoy the weather, guides hospitality and warm Icelandic weather in summer time. Special thanks to our tour guide& driver Goha (note sure if spelling it correctly!) from Poland .
Aurora_G, Jul 2026
Marika (sp?) our bus driver/tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the various sites and Icelandic history in general. She also got us to all of the tour stops before the large tour buses arrived. She managed to keep us one step ahead of the crowds. We loved all of the tour stops especially Earth Lagoon; it was the cherry on top of a very special experience.
Tara_V, Jul 2026
This tour was the perfect way to see the highlights of Northern Iceland. From driving along the scenic Eyjafjörður fjord to standing at the historic Goðafoss waterfall, every stop was stunning.
We loved the sheer variety on this itinerary: exploring the rare pseudo-craters at Lake Mývatn, walking through the dramatic Game of Thrones lava formations at Dimmuborgir, and seeing the brilliant blue water inside Grjótagjá cave. Standing on the continental rift and witnessing the smoking mud pots at Hverir felt like being on another planet.
Ending the day soaking in the geothermal waters at the Mývatn Nature Baths was absolute perfection. Highly recommended for a concise yet packed day of wonders!
Christopher_T, Jun 2026
This was a great experience. The guide was fantastic - probably the best of any shore excursion I’ve ever done.
Lionel_P, Jun 2026
A great highlight tour of Akureyri. The itinerary was a bit busy and I wish we had more time at each stop especially at the falls. But still so much fun. Our guide Javier, was extremely helpful and made the tour fun.
Shari_M, Jun 2026
This tour was my favorite on our entire trip, we went to so many different spots! Jon was our guide. He was friendly, funny, and down to earth. He taught us so much about his country and all the spots we visited. We did not end our day at the lagoon as no one in our small tour wanted to go there but Jon had a great backup spot ready to take us to. We went to the Christmas House instead. One small warning, I will say the midges joined us from the lake to the next few stops so bring a head net to wear if you don't like bugs. They didn't bite but they wanted to go in ears, nose, mouth. Lol I took it in stride and didn't let them get in the way of the fun but my teen daughter felt differently about them. If you're wondering whether or not to book this excursion, do it! You won't be disappointed! Thank you, Jon!
Carol_I, Jun 2026
This was a great tour, lots to see. It is a fully packed day. The option to visit a spa... Depending on who you are if you are exhausted at the end of the day, you may or may not want to do the spa. Great sites and informative your guide. Would have been nice to cut the one so down to 40 minutes instead of an hour. Fantastic sites to see
Trevor_W, Jun 2026
A great tour packing in a lot of great sights with an amazing tour guide. The falls were amazing and the lagoon at the end was a perfect way to end the tour. The guide was very informative and made sure everyone got the best experience.
Linda_C, Jun 2026
Fox Tours with Jon was fabulous. He is born and raised Icelander and knows all of the details on the country that made for an interesting tour!
Fox Tours is great! Thank you for a very enjoyable day!
Sylvie_M, May 2026
Our guide Jon was funny and kind. He kept us entertained with stories and his knowledge of Iceland’s Geology. The views were amazing and the baths were relaxing - especially since they were our last stop! Slept great that night.
Sit as close to the front of the small bus as you can… the views were somewhat obstructed from the back two rows.
Cynthia_L, May 2026
The cave was interesting and the water fall was beautiful; well worth the climb up to the top. Earth lagoon was closed for Reno so we went to Forest Lagoon instead. We loved the bath at Forest Lagoon.
Stacy_F, Sep 2025
Our cruise ship was delayed a day, but Fox Adventure was able to reschedule and contacted everyone with the new info. Our guide, Johanna, picked us up at the pier, and we enjoyed a beautiful day at Godafoss waterfall, Myvatn Lake and nearby craters, Dimmuborgir lava formations, Grjotagja cave and tectonic plates, Gjaldskylda geothermal area, and finally...some relaxation time in the thermal baths. Johanna was friendly and informative, and was more than happy to answer questions and take pictures for people. A truly enjoyable day!
Yvoone_C, Sep 2025
Great day. Well organised and got away early before the crowds. Lots of information was given during the day. Easy to find at cruise port.
Cory_S, Aug 2025
Some parts felt rushed, whereas other parts were slower paced and relaxing. We did the same tour a couple of years ago, and it didn't feel that way. Of course, our ship was in port for 12 hours then, and only 10 hours now. I'd do it if your ship is in port for 11 or more hours.
Debra_S, Aug 2025
Cancelled 24 hrs before, OK for tour company to cancel but if it’s the other way around you pay!
I have booked through Viatour many times for several other trips… This trip there has been issues with every booking…4 of them! Maybe it’s Iceland?
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Debra,
Your review is not at all fair. Firstly, we are not part of the Viator group. Viator acts as an intermediary between you and the operator (similar to the way that booking.com works for hotels), and we are not aware of any other tours you may have booked with other companies, as we are only the Akureyri-based operator. We offered you two fantastic options: specifically, the Diamond Circle tour, which is the most interesting and beautiful tour in the north, and which includes a great guide. The cost of this tour was more than twice the price of your reservation (which included everything you booked and much more). You agreed to this upgrade. All arrangements had been made, and in the morning you did not join the tour with our guide, who was waiting for you at the port. We regret to inform you that your review is not understandable.
We are a small company based in the north of the country. We always try to give more than others and we are sorry that you judged us that way.
Kind regards,
Fox Adventure Team
