Breathtaking Godafoss Waterfall - a must see on your trip to Iceland
judylH4855SA, October 2026
The Godafoss Waterfall was absolutely amazing. It rivaled Niagara Falls. We stopped at a national park of volcanic rock formations. The hike through the lava field was so interesting and pretty. I would highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic tour
fionadL6916QV, September 2026
We were met at the port and shown to the mini bus. Our driver and guide Graham was absolutely fantastic. He pointed out lots of places and gave us loads on information about the area and Iceland in general. There were a lot of flies and Graham even had head nets for us to use. He walked us around the lava field giving us stories of trolls. At the natural baths some didn’t want to go into the baths so he took us to a cave which was superb. The waterfall was fantastic although we didn’t have time to walk right to the far end to get close to the waterfall but fantastic anyway. We stopped at a few photo points of interest. Graham kept an eye on the time and got us back in time for embarking. All in all a fantastic day out. Thank you Graham

The tour guide/driver was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. I guess my honor regret is that I didn't go into the mud baths.
