Due to having no Wi-Fi connection on the ship, I didn’t see the email. When I arrived at the meeting point, I was told by another tour operator that the bus had already left.

Round-trip Akureyri port tour to Godafoss, Grenjaðarstaður turf museum, and Forest Lagoon with included admission, towel, and Wi-Fi.

“Beautiful landscape, very nice bus and great tour guide from Spain. Loved seeing the waterfall. Our drop off point was nice and close and we even had time to shop a little and grab a drink and donut. Visiting the Turf house was unexpected and interesting. Forest lagoon is very nice. Can definitely get crowded as it is a fraction of the size of Blue Lagoon. You can see that they are expanding and that will probably help with the crowding. I would highly recommend this tour and a visit to beautiful Iceland. It is so unique!”
