Godafoss Express Classy Round Trip with Multiple Drop Off Choice
Description
Our tour is named "Godafoss Express" it's a round trip shuttle from Akureyri to Godafoss Waterfall. On way back from Godafoss the tour could ends straight to the port or in the close downtown but the most popular choice is to Botanical Garden. This is not far from Downtown and Port with a nice walk in downhill. Other drop off choices (making arrangements with driver) visiting other attractions in Akureyri are available (ZipLine Akureyri, Forrest Lagoon, Aviation Icelandic Museum, Motorcycle Icelandic Museum) entrance tickets are not included. NOTE: For those who are willing to extend 60/90 minutes their visits giving us the time necessary for our shuttle to return back to the botanical garden or to the center (after making arrangements with the driver), we are happy to offer a return to the port with the first available shuttle on place. This service, although offered without any additional charge, is an additional service and not as an integral or due part of the purchased tour.

Itinerary
Magnificent waterfall of the Gods - Godafoss
Being at the sea bottom of Eyjafjord, one of the longest fjords in Iceland, the mountains encircling the garden provide interesting conditions for plant growth. The garden has a section dedicated to native and naturalised Icelandic flora and in addition they are able to grow a surprising number of hardy perrenial species, over 6400 in total. Colour is added each year by planting a plethora of annuals.
During the visit from Botanical Garden with a nice walk in downhill costumers may decide to visit both churches Cattolica and Lutheran (free entrance) and Art Museum (ticket required) and also the typical Akureyri downtown before reache the port few hundred meters far away.

Godafoss water falls are easy to walk to. Toilets and cafe also available at the water falls. Our driver very friendly
Thanks Debora has been a pleasure to have you on our tour
Lovely half day tour. Godafoss falls amazing but be aware the higher the climb, the more uneven the path/steps are. Decent footwear recommended
Thanks Michelle nice tips for other costumers.
Stunningly beautiful scenery with a fun and knowledgeable guide. Pretty crowded with tourists but that is to be expected.
Thanks I’m happy you enjoyed our tour we always try our best
We signed up for a trip at the Akureyri port. The trip to the waterfalls and the road were lovely. The Italian driver was lovely, explained things well and interestingly. He answered questions very well. We enjoyed the driver REFAL or Lulu. the price were cheaper then in another place.
Thanks I’m really happy you enjoyed our tour.
The driver of the pick up van was extremely nice gentleman. My concern with the trip was it was a 40 minute drive to the destination and one which was terrifying. The gentleman was a elderly gentleman late 60s perhaps I’m not sure but he did not have very good control of the vehicle and drove recklessly up the mountain, and through the windy roads there was a vehicle in front of us in which was taking their time. Our driver became very impatient and was tailgating them and had to slam on the brakes several times to avoid from colliding into them, I just wanna bring it to the attention that I don’t think that the driver should be transporting individuals and putting their life at risk there were many moments on the commute, where all of the passengers looked around at each other out of fear
Your comment to our driver it's inappropriate and not true, (is this the reason you didn't told us nothing in person?) and... today there was no wind at all by the way... he drives from many years on this job with a proper D driver commercial permission and his age it's only a guarantee of big experience. Among 16 peoples on the bus you're the only one complaining about his driving skills, the others at the end of the tour gave him a nice tip and many thanks... Anyway this complain is not a reason to ask a full refund as you did and we rejected through VIATOR. Next time speak in person with the company owner and search for explanations and/or refund directly if is due or not, before file to VIATOR
This was by far the best tour we have done in Iceland!!! Rafaelle was a wonderful tour guide and we can’t wait to come back with our kids for a visit. He is originally from Napoli and has been in Iceland for quite a few years. Speaks great English and is always making sure you’re having a great time! Highly recommend him!!!!
Thanks a lot I’m happy you really enjoyed our tour.
Great way to see a remarkable waterfall within easy travel time from Akureyri! Our tour guide and driver, Lenlo, was personable and knowledgeable. As well as delivering us to the falls and back quickly and safely, his commentary on the scenery and history surrounding Godafoss added greatly to our tour experience. As a bonus, Lenlo explained about the Akureyri Botanical Gardens and dropped us off there at the end of the tour. The Gardens were enchanting and the perfect end to a great tour experience! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has a few hours to explore these sights around Akureyri!G
Thanks I’m really happy you enjoyed our tour.
This is a great tour to see Godafoss. Raffaele was a great guide, telling us all about interesting Iceland facts. We chose to get dropped off at the botanical gardens and walked back to the cruise terminal through town. Super easy walk from the cruise ship to the meeting point, too!
Thanks for your nice review
The meeting place "cruise terminal" was ambiguous. There were two terminals, which was not recognisable to us because the second ship only came later. Departure was 20 minutes late. Almost the entire minibus had to change again because the Italian tour guide wanted an all-Italian group. Our English guide was wordless. Round trip took 30 minutes each, at the waterfall we had 1 hour, so after 2 hours everything was over. Booked the same trip with the same Enterprise (in the wooden cottage in front of the port) would have cost only €50 instead of €80. This is Nepp at his finest!
We were supposed to board at 1300, boarded at 1345. There was no notification of this. The driver was a hard breaker. We were told we had an hr at the falls, but was told at most we had 45 because they were running behind. The driver never offered other drop off locations. Never again. Guess this is how non ship excursions are. Very disappointed i wasted this money on this Viator business.
I'm really sorry you had a unpleasant experience, we try always to improve our drivers skills and our tour performance. Have a nice life.
