Visit Goðafoss, Lake Mývatn, and Mývatn Nature Baths on a six-hour Akureyri shore tour with lunch and cruise-friendly timing.
“It was a fun trip. The locations were very interesting. But the thing that was best about it was the guide. I didn't catch his name, but he was wearing the t-shirt of the Icelandic national football team. He was a fun guide, really going above and beyond the call of duty. Even grabbing his guitar and singing us some songs. Highly recommended tour!”
Review of Akureyri’s Forest Lagoon, with geothermal pools, sauna, cold plunge, fjord views, prices, tips, and who should book.
“Amazing views, helpful staff and a beautiful venue. Iceland has a lot of things that are very expensive (the taxi to and from the town a 6 minute drive away totalled £30) but this actually felt very good value for money. The swim up bar was also reasonably priced, and no set end time meant you could enjoy it for as long as you wanted. Definitely recommend taking your own towels and swimwear - and a waterproof bag for cameras and phones! You can borrow all of these but that does make the cost rocket quickly.Read more”
