Thought I already did review on this one, but in case it did not post correctly.. This was a good tour day. We lucked out with beautiful weather. The tour hit up amazing locations and our driver/guide was good. We did have some unfortunate disrespectful travellers who were late at different venues that affected time allotment to our other spots however, this was not the tour or operators fault. Please be respectful of times when due back to the buses as it affects everyone's day/experience.
We’re delighted you had a wonderful tour day and enjoyed the beautiful weather and amazing locations. It’s great to hear your driver/guide made the experience enjoyable. We appreciate your note about fellow travelers—respecting return times truly helps everyone. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Feel free to share your photos with us on social media using #NordurTravel! Thank you.
This was a fantastic day full of great locations & sight seeing but what really stood out was our tour guides. He was great. Not only giving us a thorough history & information but we got a few minutes at extra stops/or he would slow down (obviously if safe to do so) and gave people a chance to view & get some pictures like a seal that was resting on the rocks, a couple of extra 5 min stops as we were on route to next location. It was fantastic as we had a great group of travelers that were on time and thus gave us those opportunities. The waterfalls are stunning and amazing! Just remember to wear proper footwear! So many tourists wearing basic shoes or sandals and then wondering why they are sliding, slipping and falling on rough, uneven terrain. Yes, hiking boots or shoes are a must! Overall, incredible day! Lots of fun sights, terrific driver/guide and respectful travellers and mini bus was a good transport that had wifi, AC etc Very much enjoyed this tour
We appreciate the time you took to leave a review. We’re glad you had a good time, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Feel free to share your photos with us on social media using #NordurTravel!
The "farm" tour was somewhat limited, as really it was a guest house with horses, etc. The snack was excellent though.
Thank you for your 5‑star review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the snack. We understand the farm visit felt more like a guest house experience, and we value your honest feedback. It’s great to know the refreshment added to your enjoyment, and we’ll keep working to make each stop as memorable as possible.
Amazing waterfall. The hike up is difficult the higher you go but we made it to the top. Worth the effort. Also, go early as it’s very popular
Thank you for your 5‑star review! We’re delighted you found the waterfall amazing and that reaching the top was worth the effort. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the hike despite its challenge, and your tip about going early is very helpful for future guests. We’re glad you had such a memorable experience and appreciate your kind words.

The farm listed is not a farm. It was a hotel with 3 horses. The waterfall was great and our guide did a very nice job.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the waterfall and had a great experience with our guide. We also appreciate your comments about the farm visit and will take them into consideration.
Excellent tour! Marco was our guide, very knowledgeable of the area! The trip to the farm was delightful, especially the “happy marriage cake”.
