Itinerary
- Your adventure begins as you're whisked away from the bustling harbor of Akureyri, nestled in the scenic fjords of northern Iceland. Relax in comfort as we traverse through Iceland's stunning landscapes, where rugged mountains meet sweeping valleys, and the sky seems to stretch endlessly. (45 min)
- Nestled in northern Iceland, Goðafoss Waterfall, dubbed the "Waterfall of the Gods," is a breathtaking display of nature's power and beauty. As the Skjálfandafljót River cascades over rugged cliffs, it creates a mesmerizing spectacle of churning white water and mist, filling the air with energy. Beyond its natural allure, Goðafoss holds historical significance, linked to Iceland's conversion to Christianity in 1000 AD when chieftain Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði cast his idols into its waters. Today, visitors are drawn to its mystical aura, whether admiring from viewing platforms or hiking nearby trails. A visit to Goðafoss promises an unforgettable immersion in Iceland's rich natural and cultural heritage. We also visit the nearby hidden gem of Geitafoss waterfall, just a few hundred meters downstream from Godafoss. (1h 15min)
- As we approach Akureyri, the vibrant cityscape comes into view. We make a picture stop at viewpoint with panoramic fjord and city views. Once back in Akureyri, switch to our boat tour for a 3 hour adventure along Eyja fjord, seeking out contact with remarkable species such as Minke, Humpback, Doplhins, Orcas and more. (3h 0min)
