Amazing scenery- well organised trip

Took the afternoon trip on 3 July 2026 with Bus Travel Iceland. Holman was our driver/guide. Very nice comfortable minibus and he was at the port terminal 30 minutes before scheduled departure so no concerns about leaving on time. Holman was very knowledgeable and gave a running commentary as we drove along. Stunning scenery and we had 90 minutes at the waterfall. We saw people on the organised trip at the waterfall from our ship doing the same thing but we paid half the cruise operator's price for this experience. We were delivered back in plenty of time before the ship left, stopping at several view points on the way back to take photos. A lovely afternoon - the falls are not to be missed

Fjords & Waterfalls

The scenic drive to the falls was beautiful and the guide was very informative. Quiet surprised the gift shop where the let us off charged us to use the restroom. You literally had to tap your credit card to gain entrance. We so enjoyed hiking through the site looking at the birds, foilage, and waterfalls. We have wonderful photos to remember this day.

Quick, half day tour to...

Quick, half day tour to the beautiful waterfall. About 90 minutes at the falls, which was plenty. Our guide was informative and stopped above the town for us to take pics of the ship. Great time!

Godafoss Waterfall

Small group tour, the driver was great, he was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the area along the way. Views at the waterfall were amazing.
