Description

Discover the wonders of North Iceland on a small-group tour from Akureyri. Visit Goðafoss Waterfall and enjoy a whale-watching tour in Eyjafjörður fjord.
Begin your adventure with a scenic drive through the beautiful Icelandic countryside as you make your way to Goðafoss, the “Waterfall of the Gods.” One of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls, Goðafoss is known for its powerful turquoise waters, horseshoe-shaped cascade, and fascinating Viking-era history. Enjoy time to walk along the viewing paths, capture incredible photos, and feel the raw power of Icelandic nature up close.

After visiting the waterfall, continue back to Akureyri, where you’ll board a whale watching boat and head out into the calm waters of Eyjafjörður — Iceland’s longest fjord and one of the best places in Europe to spot whales. Keep your eyes open for humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and even Orcas as passionate guides share fascinating facts about Iceland’s marine life.

This tour is perfect for travelers wanting to experience both Iceland’s dramatic landscapes and incredible sealife in a single day.
