Excellent Godaffos Tour
MARIA F,May 23, 2026

5.00We really enjoyed the tour to the beautiful Godaffos Waterfall. The tour guide, Hilmar, was excellent and very funny. We loved all his stories. I can’t remember the driver’s name, but she was from Spain and she was very helpful and answered all our questions. Both were very friendly. Highly recommended!
Quick tour to a great water fall

5.00This was a great tour. We were on a cruise ship and they pick you up right outside. The waterfall has a little restaurant right there so you can go get coffee or tea when you are done.
A must do in Iceland.

5.00This is truly an incredible experience. You see the beauty and magic that the waterfall brings. Listening to the thunder of the water, remind you of the power of nature.
A "must-see"

5.00Beautiful!!! A must-see waterfall when in this area. I loved this tour because this was the attraction I wanted to experience without add on places that I was less interested in. There was decent time to enjoy the waterfall and take pictures.
Unexpected memorable tour

5.00We’ve been to tour in August 2025, it’s quite late 😬😊but want to leave a comment. We are a cruise ship crew. It was last tour on bus to Godafoss waterfall. So this review can be multiplied 4 times because we were 4 of us. My colleagues did have chance to leave a comment so I’m doing it for all of us (they are still working 😅and I’m on vacation at home 😁). Our guide was BELEN. She is incredible! I was looking for a transportation to reach the waterfall by ourselves but that day was holiday in Iceland and was no transportation available. Then we have decided to take a tour but tour bus was leaving the parking place with full of passengers so I literally stopped the bus, we were quite late because we were running back from public bus stop. So, we didn’t have tickets (it has to be purchased in advance to take a seat in a tour bus ) Belen the guide she asked driver to wait for my colleagues and she allow us to take a seat without tickets, but to pay later after the tour which we did with pleasure and on top of that she gave us a little crew discount. We were so happy. On the way to the waterfall and back she was so much engaging we have enjoyed, entertained and learnt so many interesting facts about Iceland and Godafoss waterfall, also she is a real pilot 👩✈️ that’s blew our mind. The tour itself was a bit short for me, but me and my colleagues we have really enjoyed, lots of pictures, amazed by huge waterfall by the way it looks like mini version of Niagara Falls and if you will be in August please wear a warm clothes and winter hat because it was windy and quite cold, at the end we had a hot drink with some local snacks which is included to the tour. We came back with full of memories, joy and of course pictures. If you ever will be in Iceland 🇮🇸 which I have never thought that one day I will be there I strongly recommend to take a tour with BELEN from Saga Travel. Amazing work, very funny, engaging and so entertaining. We would like to thank Belen for her patience to wait for us, letting pay later on and she made our day!!! Thank you once again to Saga Travel, you’ve got an amazing people in your team!!!

5.00Easy to find the bus, and very close to the Cruise ship pier. Super friendly and helpful staff. The tour lasted about 3 hours and gave you plenty of time to see the waterfall.
Great experience

5.00Excellent tour with Belén B. She did a great job, giving lots of information and treating the guests very well. Great guide
Great Tour!

5.00Had a wonderful experience with Saga Travel and Hilmar, our guide. The bus ride was smooth, taking us through a very long tunnel going to the falls and through the mountain pass on the way back. Pathways to and around the falls are easy; very manageable. Saga Travel has a connection to this quaint Hotel there, so coffee and a Nordic pastry were a pleasant surprise. Great morning, beautiful falls! We highly recommend this tour!!
