Goðafoss and Akureyri Highlights Featured in Scenic North Iceland Excursion


A short guided tour in North Iceland is offering visitors a relaxed introduction to some of the region’s most popular attractions, combining natural beauty with cultural discovery. The experience begins at Goðafoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most iconic landmarks, known for its wide horseshoe shape and powerful cascades.


Set within a dramatic landscape, Goðafoss provides travellers with an opportunity to witness Iceland’s raw geological forces while learning about its historical significance. The site remains a favourite for photography, drawing visitors seeking both scenic views and a connection to Icelandic heritage.

The journey continues into Akureyri, where guests pass through the town’s historic Old Town district. Colourful houses, quiet streets, and coastal views reflect the character of Iceland’s northern capital, offering insight into everyday life in the region.


The tour concludes at the Akureyri Botanical Garden, often referred to as the “Pearl of the North.” Here, visitors can stroll through diverse plant collections in a peaceful setting, enjoying fresh northern air and a calm atmosphere that contrasts with the rugged landscapes visited earlier in the day.

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.
