What To Expect
Godafoss
Goðafoss, the “Waterfall of the Gods,” is one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in Iceland and a true highlight of the North. Its wide, horseshoe shape and powerful flow create an unforgettable first impression. According to legend, this is where the lawspeaker Þorgeir threw pagan idols into the waterfall after Iceland adopted Christianity over 1,000 years ago. The water flows from Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Iceland, and depending on the light, it shifts from deep blue to milky glacial tones. On sunny days, a beautiful rainbow often appears above the falls. It is a place that feels both powerful and peaceful at the same time - perfect for unforgettable photos and a moment to simply take it all in.
Skutustaoagigar
A truly unique place on a global scale - pseudocraters like these exist in only a few locations in the world: here in North Iceland, in Hawaii, and even on Mars. They were formed when hot lava flowed into the lake, trapping water beneath the surface. As the water rapidly turned into steam, pressure built up until it exploded through the ground, creating these perfectly shaped crater-like formations. Unlike real volcanic craters, they were not formed by an eruption from below, but by powerful steam explosions - making them a rare and fascinating geological phenomenon. Today, this area feels calm and almost surreal, with wide-open views over Lake Mývatn. It is the perfect place for a short walk, to take in the landscape, and to experience a quiet moment in one of Iceland’s most unusual environments.

Fantastic experience in Iceland with Joanna

5.00Our family had a truly fantastic experience with Joanna. She made the entire day feel effortless, warm, and genuinely well taken care of. From her deep local knowledge and perfect pacing to helping us capture beautiful photos and adding thoughtful touches along the way, everything felt personal, relaxed, and exceptionally well organized. What truly sets Joanna apart, however, is her professionalism and care in unexpected situations. During one of our mountain hikes, my mother unfortunately injured her leg. Joanna immediately took control of the situation — she acted quickly, called for emergency assistance without hesitation, and even physically supported and carried my mother when needed. Her calmness, strength, and genuine compassion helped us navigate a very stressful moment with confidence. Thanks to Joanna, what could have been a difficult experience turned into a powerful reminder of how much a great guide can truly make a difference. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking not just for a tour, but for someone who truly cares about their guests. Best regards, From Dmitry and all our Family
An unforgettable trip with the most amazing tour guide!

5.00An unforgettable trip to the wonderful Iceland with a great tour guide! I went to m first trip to Akureyri in the North of Iceland to see Aurora Borealis at the end of November - beginning of December 2025. No much luck there, I mean I saw the Northern lights but not as spectacular as I expected. Iceland is a fairy land with open spaces, clean air, beautiful landscapes, and adding to that an amazing tour guide like Joanna the trip is just unforgettable. Joanna is positive energetic knowledgeable and friendly and she is brightening everybody’s day. She showed me the stunning Godafoss (Waterfall of the Gods), almost all the key volcano sites in the Lake Mývatn area (at that time the blue lake was frozen), I visited the Christmas village, and of course the sightseeing travelling everywhere was just breathtaking. She is a great driver even with the snow and the ice on the roads and the winds I always felt safe and secure and she was stopping at every spot where she knows the pictures taken and video records show the best of this amazing land. She knows so much about history culture and beauty of the country and she always allows her tourists to enjoy the experience in various spots by themselves. The sky was changing all the time but the colours of the clouds and the sky with sometimes the sun coming out for a brief moment are just incredible. For me the most unexpected experience were the baths. Never in my life I wouldn’t have believed that I will immerse myself outdoors at -15℃ with snow and ice, in geothermal infinity pools with fjord views at Forest Lagoon, or Mývatn Nature Baths with mineral-rich, milky-blue waters, and natural steam baths. A unique experience! I will definitely go back to Akureyri and I whole heartily recommend Joanna as a tour guide if you want the best trip ever.
