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.

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.

    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!

    Great tour and guide

    This was a great experience. The guide was fantastic - probably the best of any shore excursion I’ve ever done.

    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.

    The BEST day!

    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!

    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

    Fix Tours Jon

    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!

    Geology class on a bus!

    Wonderful tour with geothermal bath

    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.

    A great shore excursion in Akureyri!

    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!

    Great 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.

    Good tour, but not for a shorter port day.

    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.

    Canceled

    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

    A lot in a day!

    Cynthia_B, Aug 2025
    A great way to experience Iceland’s natural beauty in a smaller group with personalized service. Saw more than was listed which made the tour special.

    Great day in Akureuri, Iceland

    Joy_S, Aug 2025
    A great day with Fox Tours. Our guide was amazing and the stops so interesting and breathtaking. If you’re debating about this tour or a ship’s tour don’t. It was great to have a small group tour.

    Fun filled day

    Dwight_S, Aug 2025
    Great excursion. Enjoyed the Fox Adventure tour guide. Very personable friendly and knowledgeable. Van transportation was clean and comfortable. Did a lot of touring then a myvatn baths relaxation at end of tour was perfect way to end the tour.

    Excellent Tour with Engaging Local Guide

    Jonathon_T, Aug 2025
    Had a fantastic time. Our local guide was engaging and knowledgeable. The itinerary was perfect and allowed us to see and experience as much as possible during our stay. A+

    Fantastic tour! Joanna was a great driver and informative. She worked around crowds and allowed extra time when needed. She even thru in some extras just to make our trip extra special. Thanks for a great tour!!

    Perfect for Cruise Port Excursion

    Great tour with an opportunity to see and experience so many things! Each stop was beautiful and unique, so make sure you have plenty of room on your camera! If you can, make sure you experience the baths!!

    It was a great tour of geothermal hot pots and volcano craters. Also a soak in a natural mineral bath.

    Issues happen, but they worked them out quickly.

    Brian_T, Jul 2025
    First, the sites we saw were great, and the hot springs were nice. Things happen - it's often when, not if, something will go wrong. How someone responds to the problem speaks more to me than whether something went wrong or not. On this adventure, our mini-bus broke down. They jumped into gear and came up with a plan. We got to see all the sites we were supposed to, they just switched up the order so they had time to work out the details of getting a new vehicle to us. Another vehicle from their group came and took us to the hot springs, and they used the time we were there to figure out transportation for the rest of the day. We saw everything we were supposed to and were not late returning to the cruise ship. We enjoyed the trip.

    Super day trip with a great tour guide

    Ronald_P, Jul 2025
    Was meet at dockside by the tour guide who introduced herself as Joanne. From that moment on she did an amazing job of taking us round the tour from site to site and giving us appropriate information on each location in an excellent manner and helping to the point in walking round all the locations on tour, taking picture , and answering question. All the tour locations were great and was a fantastic day out for us and definitely made better by the expertise and efforts that were made by Joanne. A well recommended tour with a perfect guide

    Perfect day out

    Rebecca_G, Jul 2025
    Our guide was exceptional, the places we visited were breath taking. Definitely recommend! The small bus allowed us to beat the crowds.

    Top Notch Tour Company

    Heather, Jul 2025
    This is the must do tour in Akureyie. So much in one day. Waterfalls, caves, lava formations, and baths. Our tour guide was amazing. She provided all relevant information about the surrounding area and also gave us insight into what life is like living in this country. Additionally, kudos to the tour company. Our van had a mechanical issue but within 10 minutes we had another van pick us up and we could tinted on our tour without missing anything. This is a top notch company!

    Amazing and unforgettable

    Simon_S, Jul 2025
    Amazing day. Guide was fabulous and very knowledgeable. Worth every penny and would definitely book with the company again.

    Great!

    myloandoan, Jul 2025
    Great, would do the tour again. Small tour group and patient guide. Took us to all the places with lots of extra time left to be back on the cruise ship. Highly recommend!

    We enjoyed the whole tour. Joanna our driver and guide was excellent. We made extra stops at interesting places which was really fun.

    Best activity ever in Iceland

    Jackson_R, Jun 2025
    OMG had the best time ever, so beautiful, the guide Johanna was incredible, she really went out of her way to do as many extra stops and help takes photos, and the people that didn’t want to pay the huge extra price to go swim into the baths, you could have lunch, take photo in front of the baths and then she took us to some beautiful snowy mountains and a the powerstation which explains everything about the craters etc. Only thing is the first few stops has lots of flys, so wear a net or have some bug spray, but didn’t bother us, just a FYI. Again thanks so much Johanna for the best activity ever.
