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.

Akureyri Botanical Garden
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.

Good experience
Come 30’ in advance - overbooking was in place for 1 passenger. The driver offered a kind of wooden seat 🤣. The driver was kind and friendly, Italy origin.

Weeing Godafoss was a...
Seeing Godafoss was a wonderful experience. The ride was not super long and we spent about 45 mins at the waterfall, which is beautiful. Thereafter, our guide took us to a scenic photo spot before going to the botanical gardens. He even waited for us before dropping us off at the city center. This is a great tour if you want to see the waterfall and come back into Akureryi to hang out in the town.

a perfect word
Lello, the very friendly Neapolitan, professional, showed us and let us enjoy the wonderful Godafoss waterfalls and all the beauties of Akureyri. He offered us a delicious coffee; do not miss it when you go to Akureyri by ship, look for Lello, do not waste time elsewhere. Thank you, Lello. Giampaolo and Doriana from Rome

Godafoss falls
Lovely half day tour. Godafoss falls amazing but be aware the higher the climb, the more uneven the path/steps are. Decent footwear recommended
