What To Expect
Godafoss
Our journey takes us along Eyjafjörður, one of Iceland's longest fjords, to our first destination, the Goðafoss waterfall, which holds great significance in Iceland's history. If we are fortunate, we may witness a rainbow and our guide will provide guidance on capturing the best photos.
Laufas Heritage Site and Museum
We will visit the unique Laufás museum and journey into Iceland’s past to see how Icelanders lived in turf houses many years ago. The oldest remaining part of the house dates back to 1840, and Laufás was generally considered a wealthy farm by Icelandic standards. You will have the opportunity to look inside and experience history firsthand.

4.00The tour was good, but it would have been better if a group of 8 people with 2 young children were not part of our small group as everyone had to wait for them at each of the 3 tour stops and they generally didn't care whether we had to wait for them. Godafoss was a bit disappointing as we thought the waterfall was larger; otherwise, it was nice. Very crowded site. Turf Houses were interesting to see how the early Icelanders lived. Forest Lagoon Baths - beautiful setting, but unfortunately very crowded when we arrived. Drinks at the baths are not cheap as there were no prices posted. The wristband technology to lock your locker and to run tab for drinks was neat. Water in baths was like being in a warm bath....it wasn't hot or scalding.
Don’t hesitate to book this tour.

5.00First Class treatment- from communication through the end of the tour day. Perfect way to spend a few hours off the cruise ship. We lucked out and the tour ended up being just the two of us with the guide, who happened to be the owner of the company. We feel like we got special treatment and so may facts/ details about the area and stops. We were given plenty of time to experience each stop. Loved the turf houses and ending at the lagoon was perfect. On the way back to the shop, we were taken to see Icelandic horses- beautiful! Highly recommend this tour and the tour company.
Wonderful! Loved!

5.00Excellent! Every stop was so well thought out, timed and had great detail. The tunnel stop was such a surprise, the waterfall is genuinely majestic, the turf houses were fascinating and way cooler than we anticipated, the lagoon was so worth it and so relaxing and I can’t believe we got to pet Icelandic horses!!! Cannot recommend this tour enough!! We were on a cruise ship and he is a pro with timing and it’s not a worry at all. An absolutely special day!!

5.00Badour was excellent. I enjoyed hearing his love of the country and it's customs. The falls were amazing, the tuft houses were cool. The baths were excellent, I just wish we could've spent more time there. For the price paid, my only recommendation would be to allow us to spend more time at each stop so we're not as rushed.
