Godafoss Waterfall is one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls, not only for its size but also for its story. It’s linked to a key moment in Icelandic history, when pagan idols were cast into the river more than a thousand years ago.
In winter, the scene becomes even more striking. Snow settles on the cliffs, ice builds along the riverbanks, and frozen chunks often drift past the falls, adding to the raw, powerful atmosphere.
The journey on this Godafoss Waterfall tour is easy, with pickup available from Akureyri, your accommodation, the airport, or the cruise port. Enjoy calm views of Eyjafjordur Fjord as you drive away, and the town gives way to open winter landscapes.
Onboard reading materials help you learn more about Godafoss Waterfall before you arrive.

Once at the parking area, it’s only a five-minute walk to the viewing platform. From here, you can take your time. Watch the water crash through ice, listen to the roar of the falls, and enjoy the stillness of the surrounding landscapes on your Godafoss Waterfall winter tour.
As the Godafoss tour comes to an end, you have flexible drop-off options to suit the rest of your day. You can return to Akureyri center, or choose to be dropped off at the Forest Lagoon for a relaxing soak.
The Akureyri Botanical Gardens is also a drop-off option if you want a gentle stroll to wrap up your day. This makes the tour a perfect fit if you plan to continue exploring Akureyri at your own pace.
