It was such a great tour, we had a lovely time with our tourguide Baldur. He definitely showed us the beauty of Akureyri and shared a lot of interesting information about Iceland. We really enjoyed Godafass Waterfall, Laufas and the stunning Forest Lagoon. On top we also got the chance to pet some Icelandic horses. Thank you!

Next, delve into Iceland's past with a visit to the Laufás museum. This unique museum features turf houses, showcasing how Icelanders lived many years ago. The oldest part of the house dates back to 1840, and Laufás was considered a wealthy farm by Icelandic standards. You’ll have the chance to explore inside these historical homes and experience history firsthand.

On the way to the Forest Lagoon, make a final stop at Eyjafjörður, where you can take stunning photos of the fjord and Akureyri. The tour concludes at the Forest Lagoon, celebrated as one of Iceland’s most charming geothermal baths. Here, you can unwind in the steam baths and enjoy the warm, soothing geothermal waters.

As youy return to Akureyri, our guide will highlight the most interesting places in the town, including the old town and downtown areas. You’ll also receive recommendations for your stay in Akureyri, ensuring you make the most of your visit.

The tour was provided by the owner (sorry unable to remember his name) of Fox Adventures. There were approximately 16 of us and we all had a great time. The owner was very informative, friendly and chatted to us and explained where we were going and how long we were at each stop. Each stop was just long enough. All of us took advantage of going to the forest lagoon (extra charge but well worth it!) Would highly recommend this tour and you will be in great hands if your tour is booked with Fox Adventures.
