Description

Explore North Iceland’s best on this combo tour to Godafoss Waterfall, Forest Lagoon, and the Christmas House from Akureyri. Relax in geothermal waters, admire one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, and enjoy festive charm, all with a knowledgeable local guide and seamless transportation.

This 4-hour family-friendly tour from Akureyri is perfect for travelers or cruise passengers who value comfort and expert insight. You’ll enjoy a stress-free day exploring breathtaking attractions without the hassle of planning routes or logistics.

Your North Iceland adventure begins with a hotel or cruise port pickup in Akureyri, where your friendly local guide welcomes you for a day of adventure and discovery. Drive along the scenic Eyjafjord Fjord, where mountains meet sparkling waters and charming coastal villages.

The first stop is the magnificent Godafoss Waterfall, a natural wonder known as the “Waterfall of the Gods.” About 100 feet (30 meters) wide, the waterfall curves into a horseshoe shape as glacial water rushes into the Skjalfandafljot River below.

Paved walking paths make it easy to explore both sides of the falls, with excellent viewpoints close to the water. Viking-era stories linked to the site add cultural context to one of Iceland’s most photographed waterfalls.

Next, relax at Forest Lagoon near the center of Akureyri, a geothermal spa surrounded by birch and pine trees. Soak in the mineral-rich warm waters, enjoy the calming saunas, and take in the peaceful fjord scenery.

Your guide gives you time to enjoy the lagoon’s warm pools, swim-up bar, and saunas. Towels can be rented, making it an easy and refreshing break during your Iceland sightseeing tour.

After your spa retreat, visit the Christmas House in Akureyri, a magical year-round holiday haven. Explore its cozy rooms filled with twinkling lights, festive ornaments, and handcrafted Icelandic gifts inspired by local folklore.

The visit also introduces Icelandic Christmas folklore, including the mischievous Yule Lads and the legendary Christmas Cat. Browsing the displays or soaking up the festive atmosphere adds a warm, cheerful note to the experience.

This stop is especially popular with families, as the Christmas House offers a lighthearted break from sightseeing and a setting that appeals to both adults and children. Its relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to explore at your own pace before returning to Akureyri.

After a full day of adventure, your guide drives you back to Akureyri. Relax in comfort while reflecting on a day spent among Iceland’s waterfalls, geothermal pools, and festive delights.

Enjoy comfort, convenience, and authentic experiences on this combo tour to Godafoss Waterfall, Forest Lagoon, and Christmas House from Akureyri. Check availability now by choosing a date.
