Explore Dynjandi Waterfall and a family farm from Ísafjörður, with fjord views, mountain tunnels, Icelandic cake, and local stories.
“Waterfall amazing. Farm could have been more hands on. Feeding the sheep? Feed the chickens? The young fellow has good saga about Thor :) and loves his sheep. Tour guide excellent, spoke perfect English and explained the ‘saga’ of the area well. Great day in all. Good for the leg muscles climbing to the highest point to the waterfall!”
Visit Iceland’s dramatic Dynjandi waterfall, ride scenic fjord roads, and enjoy cake, coffee, and farm life near Þingeyri.
“The bus trip to the falls was very enlightening. The road system in Iceland is phenominal and the tunnels were the best built tunnels I've ever been in. Our guide was a chatterbox, but ususally interesting. The falls were beautiful even on a cold, windy, rainy day.”

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…”
Review of the 6-hour Lake Mývatn and Goðafoss tour from Akureyri, with lava fields, mud pools, practical tips, price, and honest drawbacks.
“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…”
