Review of the Akureyri shore excursion to Goðafoss, Lake Mývatn, and Mývatn Nature Baths, with timing, value, tips, and drawbacks.

“Always on time, the tour was good as far as what we saw… the only issue was with the lunch provided, which included just one option, and we were not able to eat the sandwiches at the thermal baths, we were told that we needed to eat at the parking lot…. I suggest in the future to provide a voucher from the cafeteria at the baths, this way we would be allowed to eat our lunch inside”

Review of the Lake Mývatn and Goðafoss shore excursion from Akureyri, with lava fields, geothermal sites, timing, value, and practical tips.

“Best shore excursion we’ve ever done anywhere! We were only four people on the tour, which made for a very personalized experience. The scenery was spectacular. The highlight for me was the boiling pits of mud & clay. You couldn’t fit more into one day if you tried. Very knowledgeable and safe driver/tour guide. Couldn’t recommend this more!”
