An expert trip today to Godafoss. Peter our guide was excellent, providing us with his expert knowledge of the area and time on our own to look around. We were provided with kramp ons for the ice, which was a thoughtful touch and gratefully appreciated! A brilliant morning and a chance to feel the real Icelandic weather outside the town, brilliant brilliant brilliant 👏 Thank you Peter 😊 x

We had the most incredible time exploring Godafoss waterfall and our guide Julie was exceptional. She even pulled into some extra viewing points such as a lake and over Akureyri. Julie had some amazing stories and we loved learning all about Icelandic culture. Godafoss was felt exceptional and this company are amazing, particularly Julie. Would recommend this to anyone!

We had a wonderful time with our guide, Julie. She was very knowledgeable about Akureyri and its history. She told us interesting stories about life here in the past and now. It was very clear how much she loves Iceland and especially this area and enjoyed the views as much as we did. She definitely got a feel for our character and at the end of the tour took us to a few places she knew we would love! And that was very lovely. She felt like a friend :) So big thank you for making our day even more special with your wonderful heart and character! 10/10 recommend this tour! Much love, Kirsi & Nick (Finland / UK)

Absolutely beautiful waterfall in a stunning landscape our guide Asa went above and beyond on our trip. We first went through the new tunnel to reach the waterfall whilst it was still light but took the longer route back over the snow covered mountains stopping at the newly discovered geothermal waterfall.

It was Stoos who were really nice and the organization was good too. But the sulphur field was extremely disgusting. You could have said that you can get bad there and that only for tourists can have the extreme sulfur smell.
