Itinerary
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.
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.
The trip will end at the Forest Lagoon, where you can relax in the steam baths and bathe in the geothermal water.

Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide. Nice van for transport and small group size. We were on a cruise and this tour was much better than the ones thru the cruise line.
This was a great experience and one of the highlights of our trip. We booked a private group tour for 18 people directly with the company. Our guide was the owner of the company and truly loved everything about his town of Akureyri. Had so many interesting things to share and show us that only a local would really know. Each stop on this tour was fantastic in its own unique way. Could not have enjoyed this more. Highly recommend.
There was lots of confusion about the meeting location. We came off from Norwegian cruise ship, no clear direction telling us where to meet exactly just said outside of the Celebrity terminal. It took me 30 minutes walked around to finally found out where they located. I found out from other tourists in same group and they got directly picked up from their Regent cruise ship. It was not accommodating to us that we were from the Norwegian cruise ship. We paid the same fare, why we had different treatment! 🥲
This was a very relaxed tour but we got to see everything. The Godafuss Waterfall was beautiful and more magical when a rainbow appeared. Also went to the Forest Lagoon
Our guide was fantastic and we learned so much about Iceland. The falls weee beautiful. The turf house was interesting and we were the only group there at the time. The Forest Lagoon was incredibly relaxing. But be aware that private showers/changing rooms are very limited.
No one at the Fox Adventures Kiosk at the port when we arrived. It took us some time to find our travel vehicle because it was not marked Fox Advenures. Otherwise it was a well organized and properly paced tour. We could have spent a little more time at the Turf Houses, but not at the expense of less time at the Forrest Lagoon. Overall we were happy with this Small group excursion.
Our guide eas amazing. She made sure we stayed on schedule but we did not feel rushed at all. This was a nice change to the ship excursions and they were very aware of the time limitations for those of us needing to get on the ship. Would recommend to anyone traveling through here via cruise.
Bus picked us up right at the port. It was a small group which was great. Loved all three stops especially the lagoon!
The tour was replaced by a similar tour which was very good. The guide/driver was excellent..lots of knowledge of history, geography and events that made for an interesting commentary. She was also good about keeping us ahead of the larger tour busses..a very enjoyable day and we were back on time.
Amazing! The waterfalls were stunning and the hot springs were so relaxing. Tour guides were amazing
