5.00This was an awesome experience! Highly recommend. Our tour guide Nico was extremely knowledgable and shared her own personal experiences that led her to becoming a tour guide. The driver, Lucash was amazing and kept us on time and safe.
Great guide.

4.00Nicole was a great guide, very knowledgeable and fun. Loved the Godafoss Waterfall. Myvatn Nature Baths were interesting and the only reason I gave 4 stars was because they were a little disappointing. Lots of construction around the pool so you didn’t get the feeling I expected.
Beautiful day

5.00Great tour! Needed another 45 min at Godafoss Waterfall but plenty of time at the Myvatn Baths. Niko was excellent and the chicken sandwich was delicious. Fun day.

5.00Fantastic experience seen some amazing sites. The baths were a great experience as well. Tour guides was so nice and gave some great information. She even played some Fantastic music on our way back. Would recommend to anyone coming to akureyri.
What would be a good excursion was marred by our tour guide.

3.00I was not very impressed with this tour. The baths are nice and you get the blue water (but not mud facials like blue lagoon), but i felt like our guide didn't take into account our needs. Like, we were told to arrive at a certain time. We waited for other people then left late because we had to accommodate people from a different tour and arrived at our next destination almost 1.5 hrs later. He was surprised why so many of us needed a bathroom break as we only drove maybe 20 min - but we waited over an hour before leaving. Our stop at the Godafoss falls was far away from the restroom so essentially there wasn't enough time to get to it and visit the falls. So with a bus full of people, many waiting for the bathroom on the bus, it was pretty uncomfortable. Our guide was joking the entire time. He called the baths basically a nuclear waste bath and honestly couldn't tell if he was telling the truth with most of the info he provided as his voice was fairly monotone. As other comments said, Myvatn lake has tons of annoying flies. Definitely bring a hat with a net. I forgot so we didn't stay too long before heading back to the bus. I was unfortunately unable to go into the baths, but my family did enjoy it. I think this could be a good excursion with a few changes.
We enjoyed.

4.00Overall a good excursion. Lunch stop was rushed. More time to shop at waterfall would be better. Nicole was a very excited guide!
