Goðafoss and Akureyri Highlights Featured in Scenic North Iceland Tour


A short guided excursion in North Iceland is offering visitors a relaxed introduction to some of the region’s most iconic sights, centred around the famous Goðafoss Waterfall. Known for its powerful flow and striking horseshoe shape, the waterfall provides a dramatic showcase of Iceland’s raw natural beauty.


Set within a peaceful landscape, Goðafoss allows travellers to experience both natural spectacle and cultural history in a single stop. The site remains one of the country’s most photographed landmarks, drawing visitors seeking quiet surroundings and scenic views away from busier attractions.


The return journey follows the scenic Eyjafjörður coastline, one of Iceland’s longest fjords, offering wide-open views across the water toward Akureyri. Along the way, guests pass through parts of the town’s historic Old Town, gaining insight into its local character and coastal setting.


The tour concludes with a visit to the Akureyri Botanical Gardens, often referred to as the “pearl of the north.” Here, visitors can explore diverse plant collections in a calm, green environment, rounding off the experience with a gentle blend of nature, culture, and landscape photography opportunities.

Yes. I was there with my daughter in person. Its really not a cut and paste job! Great experience. You can hire towels too. Bars outside at the Spa with restaurant inside. Open space under the sky and overlooking Akureyri. Great place to see the stars. Couples. Families. Solo travellers. So beautiful place to relax and unwind. My pictures of the Forest Lagoon have temporarily disappeared AGAIN so I'm sending others from my trip to Akureyri. Enjoy!

Not a great customer service as stuff was explainedto us very briefly and only available at the bar. As visited this place first time, it was not very well explained and had to think about everything we need to do and look at everyone else for information and/or how to do stuff. Been overcharged for drinks at the bar twice as they've run out of ingredients in one bar and we had to go to another one. Can't really take a phone with you to take any pictures at all. Would not visit again. Not great and dangerous for small kids.

The perfect place to relax and recuperate after a long day adventuring. The views are great, the facilities clean, and the pools dreamlike. It's beautiful any time of day, but definitely worth going at night to catch the northern lights thru the rising steam of the Geothermally heated waters. It's open fairly late. Also perfect for a post-ski apres! Be sure to guard your towel though, they seem to disappear too easily, but luckily the friendly staff is there to help.
