From Akureyri: Myvatn Lake, Craters, & Waterfall Tour - Goðafoss: a powerful first stop after 40 minutes

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 793 reviews · 6 hours · from $187Our pick

Review of Akureyri’s Mývatn tour, covering Goðafoss, lava formations, craters, sulfur pools, lunch, timing, and value.

“Our tour of Akureyri with Richie was excellent! He was friendly, attentive, punctual, and explained the sights we visited in detail. He created a WhatsApp group to share information about Iceland. We had a minor issue at the beginning of the tour, as we received the wrong link for the meeting point, but it was later resolved. We were able to enjoy the wonderful views of Iceland from the bus. We visited Godafoss Waterfall, Dimmuborgir, Lake Myvatn, and the Namaskard geothermal area. Since the tour is very extensive and we only have a limited time at each site, it's crucial to be organized. However, with the WhatsApp group, Richie was…”

Review of Akureyri’s Lake Myvatn and Godafoss tour, with lava fields, hot springs, port pickup, timing tips, costs, and cruise advice.

“Good tour but they crammed in a lot. Could have used more time at waterfall - we had to jog to see the view from both sides, rest of the group just saw one side. An hour at the baths (including lunch) was no where near enough time. Our guide dropped us and we skipped the mud baths but even 1.5 hours wasn’t really enough. By the time we got through the lines and 3 kids dressed we had maybe 20 min to swim before we had to pack everything up and stand in more lines for lunch. It felt very rushed. I would say unless you can get more…”

Review of the Goðafoss and Forest Lagoon tour from Akureyri Port, with turf houses, transfers, Wi-Fi, timing, value, and practical tips.

“We had an hour at the turf house which was too long, and then only had 1hr25 at the Lagoon which included waiting for a wristband, waiting for a brief from the coach, getting changed before and after the swim which would have left 1hr or less to enjoy the lagoon. They should mention that there’s a free bus from the lagoon back to town every hour for those that want to actually enjoy the lagoon for longer than an hour. The lagoon itself is absolutely beautiful and it would be easy to spend 3-4 hours in there. They should make it clear that you’ll only have an hour or…”

“This group bus tour was very informative. Our guide Michael was incredible! The most we learned our whole trip in Iceland. We drove a lot, but he was very engaging and had many interesting facts and stories about Iceland. For those who like history, geography, tales of hidden people and more this is a great tour! It was my grandmother’s favorite activity the whole trip (my teenage son, less so). There were some cool stops, but the bugs were bad at two which some of our family did not like. We had seen reviews mentioning this in advance and our guide warned us, so we were prepared. But it is…”

Review of BusTravel Iceland’s 8-hour Diamond Circle tour from Akureyri, with Godafoss, Dettifoss, Myvatn, Asbyrgi, and Husavik.

“Spend a lot of time on the bus. The tour guide was not fantastic. He did not seem to have a good knowledge of the area. Also, we arrived back to the port and hour and twenty minutes past the presumed end time. We had to stop for gas. There were places that we stopped where we needed more time and other places where we could have spent less time. He was not efficient at enforcing time to get back on the bus.”
