North Iceland Tour Blends Goðafoss Waterfall and Forest Lagoon Relaxation


Visitors to Akureyri are being offered a guided excursion that combines two of North Iceland’s most popular experiences, bringing together dramatic natural scenery and geothermal relaxation. The tour begins with a visit to Goðafoss Waterfall, one of the country’s most iconic landmarks.


At Goðafoss, guests are greeted by powerful cascades of glacial water flowing over a wide, crescent-shaped rock formation. The site is known for both its striking visual appeal and its historical significance in Icelandic heritage, offering visitors ample time for photography and exploration.


The journey then continues to the Forest Lagoon, a geothermal bathing site located just outside Akureyri. Set within a peaceful natural environment, the lagoon offers warm, mineral-rich waters surrounded by forested hills and mountain views, creating a calm and restorative atmosphere.


Combining sightseeing with relaxation, the experience is designed to provide a balanced introduction to North Iceland’s landscapes. The tour highlights both the raw power of Icelandic waterfalls and the soothing qualities of geothermal bathing, making it a well-rounded and memorable excursion.

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.
