It was a great tour. The falls are beautiful. Loved the farm stop with the authentic Icelandic turf house. Forest spas were a nice end of the day. Perfect amount of time. Easy to get to from cruise ship and on time to return.
Best small group tour!

Knowledgeable, informative tour guide. Julie arrived at the port early, and showed us a lovely day. The Forest Lagoon was very nice, fun that you could relax with a drink while soaking! The museum of the old turf house was interesting, and the falls were very pretty. Luckily we had a beautiful day, and best of all, our small tour was just my husband and me!
Great excursión, 3 stops...

What a great trip this was, we were so pleased that we went on it. Belen was a super guide, she was really interesting without overwhelming us with lots of facts and figures. We felt that the perfect amount of time was spent at each attraction. The Saga Travel hut was just outside the cruise terminal and we were then escorted to our vehicle which was just a minute or two walk away. There were 6 of us in total on this trip and we were given bottled water for the journey. We first went to the traditional turf houses and church then onto the waterfall (which was spectacular) and then we had a couple of hours at the lagoon. We were very lucky with the weather which was 17 degrees and a blue sky, sunny day. This has been my most enjoyable trip so far in Iceland. Not too much travelling but lots to see and with a great guide.

Absolutely fantastic guide, brilliant day. We loved seeing the waterfall and the turf house and listening to the local traditions from the tour guide. The Forest lagoon was amazing. Well organised trip.
