Description

Enjoy breathtaking views of Iceland's one of the most beautiful waterfalls.
Embark on an unforgettable journey from the charming town of Akureyri to the majestic Goðafoss Waterfall, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland. This tour is a must for nature lovers, photography enthusiasts, and anyone looking to marvel at the unspoiled beauty of Icelandic landscapes.

Your adventure begins in Akureyri, also known as the "Capital of North Iceland." With its picturesque setting by the fjord Eyjafjörður, this thriving town will win you over with its vibrant cultural scene, historic landmarks, and lush gardens.

From Akureyri, our comfortable, air-conditioned coach will transport you through the breathtaking landscapes of North Iceland. As we venture along the route, be prepared to be amazed by the pristine beauty of the region, where the horizon is a painting of rolling green hills, distant mountain ranges, and the vast, stunningly blue skies.

As we approach Goðafoss, also known as the "Waterfall of the Gods," feel the anticipation building up. The waterfall earns its heavenly name from a tale tied to the year 1000 AD, when the Lawspeaker Þorgeir Þorkelsson made Christianity the official religion of Iceland and symbolically threw his pagan statues into the falls.

Once we reach our destination, you'll be greeted by the roar and the mist of the imposing Goðafoss. Stretching 30 meters wide and plunging 12 meters down, the waterfall's horseshoe-shaped cascade pours into the mighty Skjálfandafljót River, creating a spectacle of nature's power and beauty. Take your time to wander around, capturing stunning photos, feeling the mist on your skin, and absorbing the raw beauty of this natural wonder.

Join us for a day of adventure and awe, as we journey from the vibrant town of Akureyri to the divine Goðafoss waterfall. This tour promises an authentic Icelandic experience, full of breathtaking views, historical tales, and the untamed beauty of Mother Nature.
