Half-day Akureyri tour with Goðafoss waterfall, Laufás turf-house heritage, and the year-round Christmas House, with pickup and a guide.
“The sites of Iceland were breathtaking. The waterfall was stunning, learned a lot and the heritage housing and church site. Christmas house was disappointing…super cute items but wayyyyyyy overpriced. Santa would be displeased to learn that they were trying to profit of of him in this manner. They would have sold much more if the prices were more reasonable. Our guide and driver Jon was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, kind, patient, helpful and very funny. Recommend highly but keep expectations in check for Christmas House.”
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!”
