What To Expect
Godafoss
Goðafoss, the “Waterfall of the Gods,” is one of the most iconic waterfalls in North Iceland and a powerful start to the day. Its wide, horseshoe shape and steady flow create a striking and peaceful atmosphere at the same time. According to legend, this is where the lawspeaker Þorgeir threw pagan idols into the water after Iceland adopted Christianity over 1,000 years ago. Fed by water from the highlands and glaciers, the waterfall changes colour depending on the light - from deep blue tones to softer, milky hues. On clear days, a rainbow often forms above the falls, adding to the magic of the place.
Skutustaoagigar
A truly unique place on a global scale - pseudocraters like these exist in only a few locations in the world: here in North Iceland, in Hawaii, and even on Mars. They were formed when hot lava flowed into the lake, trapping water beneath the surface. As the water rapidly turned into steam, pressure built up until it exploded through the ground, creating these perfectly shaped crater-like formations. Today, the area feels calm and open, with wide views over Lake Mývatn - a peaceful contrast to the powerful forces that created it.

5.00Joanna, our guide and owner was awesome. It was meant to be a small group tour, but I was the only one who booked, and so I had a private tour. Joanna is very knowledgeable about everywhere we went and gave a lot of background info about Icelandic people and culture. I would highly recommend this tour and company to anyone.
Unforgettable!

5.00The North Iceland tour in summer was an unforgettable experience, made even more special by our incredible guide Johanna. Her knowledge of the region was impressive, but what truly stood out was the way she shared it - engaging, clear, and full of passion. She brought each place to life with fascinating stories and insights, making the journey both educational and enjoyable. One of the absolute highlights was witnessing the Northern Lights at the beginning of 2026! Seeing the sky come alive with dancing colors was truly magical and something I will never forget. Thanks to her excellent communication skills and warm personality, the tour felt personal and immersive. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to truly connect with the beauty and history of North Iceland.🇮🇸
