Truly one of the best excursions I’ve ever done. The scenery to and from the waterfalls was amazing. The waterfalls themselves are spectacular and easily accessible. Highly recommend.

Excellent trip to the stunning waterfalls - Michael our tour guide was very interesting telling us lots of information about the area - explained the tour and pick up times etc. Had enough time to enjoy the waterfalls and a welcome hot chocolate and cake which was included at the nearby hotel. A great excursion - thank you

Really well organised.
Found the provider (Saga Travel) straight away after getting off the ship. Got taken to the bus.
Guide (Michael) was brilliant. Told you lots of info. Godafoss Waterfall was definitely worth the visit and the drink and Icelandic treat were lovely! Bus driver gave you option of dropping you off at 3 different locations on the return journey which was great. Thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed the tour to the beautiful Godaffos Waterfall. The tour guide, Hilmar, was excellent and very funny. We loved all his stories. I can’t remember the driver’s name, but she was from Spain and she was very helpful and answered all our questions. Both were very friendly. Highly recommended!

This is truly an incredible experience. You see the beauty and magic that the waterfall brings. Listening to the thunder of the water, remind you of the power of nature.

Beautiful!!! A must-see waterfall when in this area. I loved this
tour because this was the attraction I wanted to experience without add on places that I was less interested in. There was decent time to enjoy the waterfall and take pictures.

Beautiful waterfalls and nice slopped walkway to the view.
Your guide was informative and friendly.
Highly recommend.
Reed_R, Oct 2025
Easy to find the bus, and very close to the Cruise ship pier. Super friendly and helpful staff. The tour lasted about 3 hours and gave you plenty of time to see the waterfall.

Had a wonderful experience with Saga Travel and Hilmar, our guide. The bus ride was smooth, taking us through a very long tunnel going to the falls and through the mountain pass on the way back. Pathways to and around the falls are easy; very manageable. Saga Travel has a connection to this quaint Hotel there, so coffee and a Nordic pastry were a pleasant surprise. Great morning, beautiful falls! We highly recommend this tour!!
Christine_B, Sep 2025
Beautiful scenery and history of Iceland and its people. Our guide Runar and driver Andri were the best!
Donald_G, Sep 2025
Outstanding scenery with an informative, personable guide. We took the scenic route to the magnificent waterfalls passing through the countryside where homes and farms sit nestled at the base of snow capped volcanic peaks. This is Iceland at its best.

Belin did a great job with our small group. There were 4 of us as English speakers and 2 Spanish speakers for this tour. The pick up location at the cruise port was convenient as well. Our excursion was exactly as described and well worth our time and money. The waterfall was spectacular!
Kathi_H, Sep 2025
Saga did a great job of running this tour. Manuel was a great tour guide, keeping us entertained. The falls were gorgeous. Bus comfy. What seemed different from other tours there was the ticket they gave us to access the hotel bathrooms for free and get free coffee or tea and an Icelandic donut type thing. Nice to sit inside where warm.

Wonderful experience in iceland. We all had fun. I would highly suggest this tour. It’s one of best waterfalls to see
Rita_E, Sep 2025
Knowledgable tour guide. Comfortable buses .
Efficient and on time. Falls gorgeous and had plenty of time to explore.
Mark_S, Sep 2025
Tour guide, Manuel, was excellent. Loads of interesting facts on the coach journey. The waterfall was pretty amazing and almost in the middle of nowhere! Great excursion and would recommend.
Jaime_F, Sep 2025
Wonderful experience with friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable folks. We wish we had more time to do other tours with them. We were on a cruise and this eso much more affordable (and arguably better) than the excursion from the ship.
Philip_T, Sep 2025
Beautiful Falls lots of great opportunities for photos. Short trip to get there. Also enjoyed going through the 5 mile long tunnel. It is an experience to leave the port into the tunnel and when we popped out, we were in a different inland location.

I can’t put into words how amazing this tour was!
Our guide ARANCHA is from Spain, we took the tour in Spanish and she was super knowledgeable! Took her time to show us everything and share her knowledge! Such a great experience!
Victoria_B, Aug 2025
Excellent excursion with a smooth pick up and leave off. Guide was knowledgeable, personable and informative.
George_Z, Aug 2025
It;s a good waterfall available to see from many different vantage points. One of the largest on the island of Iceland.
Heidi_T, Aug 2025
Our tour guide was fabulous and knowledgeable. He made the bus ride enjoyable. Adequate time allowed at the falls.
Brett_L, Aug 2025
I just wanted a quick trip to check a box but this turned out to be a very well organized and curated thrill. It was so much more than a bus ride, we learned a great deal about Iceland, the falls, living in Iceland, some nice local music selections we would otherwise never get to hear and a bonus stop for some magnificent selfies on the way back. Saga is very reliable and aware of your schedule and concerns. They will take care of you better than your cruise-line’s operator.

Our guide, Julie, was AMAZING! Such a wealth of knowledge and history. Great tour with a great guide. Julie’s personality was the bonus
cathymartin2848, Aug 2025
Very knowledgeable and fun tour guide. Great tour to take to visit the waterfall. We also had the option to end the tour at the garden above town and walk back to the cruise ship on our own. The botanical garden was very lovely and the unexpected option was appreciated.
Alan_W, Aug 2025
Our guide Runar was very informative and knowledgeable about Iceland in general along with its history. He made the tour very interesting and easy to understand. We enjoyed spending the afternoon with him. Thank you for a great experience.
Laura_K, Aug 2025
A must see natural wonder! This was our 3rd time seeing the falls and it was just as wonderful. Viator is a great option for cruisers. Always back to ship on time. Drivers and tour guides are great and very informative.
RICHARD_K, Aug 2025
Beautiful scenery. Easy walk on gravel paths. The overlooks afford great views of the falls.
Our tour guide, Sally, was wonderful.
