3.Goðafoss Waterfall & Forest Lagoon from Akureyri Port

Round-trip Akureyri port transfers for Godafoss, Grenjaðarstaður turf houses, and Forest Lagoon geothermal baths with towel and Wi-Fi.

“Beautiful landscape, very nice bus and great tour guide from Spain. Loved seeing the waterfall. Our drop off point was nice and close and we even had time to shop a little and grab a drink and donut. Visiting the Turf house was unexpected and interesting. Forest lagoon is very nice. Can definitely get crowded as it is a fraction of the size of Blue Lagoon. You can see that they are expanding and that will probably help with the crowding. I would highly recommend this tour and a visit to beautiful Iceland. It is so unique!”

Cruise-friendly shore trip to Godafoss and Lake Mývatn, plus included soak time at Mývatn Nature Baths with geothermal views.

“Vic is great, I learned a lot about Iceland from the local perspective and I loved her personality and youth. Our bus was like new and very high end with large windows, plenty of overhead space, bathroom, etc. I liked the schedule (not too long): see the waterfall, two hours at the bath then a quick stop at Lake Myvatn. There were 3 ships at Akureyri on the day we visited, so you never break away from all the people, but we still loved the experience. They give you the sandwich and bottle of water after the bath and before Lake Myvatn, if you read previous reviews and wondered. Also,…”

“It was so good we went there twice :) Amazing views and staff. Cocktails were nice and everything was very clean. Just a warning that when you book the 10pm slot the pool and bar closes at 11:30pm which we were not warned about. It is a custom to shower naked before going in and when coming out of the pool, but there are shower cubicles for the people that would rather have privacy. Only one cubicle for changing. This didn’t bother us but it may bother some. It is an experience that you have to do when visiting Akurayri :) We had the first drink free with the and…”

Half-day from Akureyri to Godafoss waterfall and Forest Lagoon geothermal baths, with scenic viewpoints and a 4-hour plan.

Also confusion at Forest lagoon which staff did eventually straighten out but it did not go smoothly.”
