Even grabbing his guitar and singing us some songs. Highly recommended tour!”

See Godafoss from Akureyri Port on a 2.5-hour cruise excursion with a local guide, port transfers, old-town views, and a guaranteed return.

“We enjoyed the tour and it was enhanced by the knowledge of the guide and driver. The bus was an airport transfer bus, so not the most comfortable, but not too bad for the 30 minute (or so) trip each way. A nice bonus was the driver detouring around the town's backstreets on the return journey, with his local knowledge of the buildings etc.”

Review of Saga Travel’s Lake Mývatn and Goðafoss tour from Akureyri, with lava fields, geothermal sights, small-group comfort, and port tips.

“Saga Tours did a spectacular job. Rúnar is obviously a legend here. Everywhere he took us people knew him. They were hugging him, high-fiving him. I cannot believe how much he knew about every question we threw at him. He truly is a major Icelandic history buff The tour was 6+ hours and I feel like it was the best money ever spent. After about an hour, it ended with playing authentic Icelandic music and singing along I couldn’t have asked for a cherry on top of my ice cream sundae. We saw EVERYTHING! Splurge on this. Worth every penny.”
