Incredible Day and Tour! Ten Star Guide! - This is a MUST do. If you are visiting on a cruise ship, skip the big bus tours and do this instead! It is worth every penny! Our guide Leo was amazing. He showed us all the sites, gave us insight to the area and kept us away from The masses. The pace was perfect
And the small group size was great. The van was comfortable and clean! TEN stars ✨. Thank you for an incredible day.

Spectacular Godafoss with Johanna - The Godafoss waterfalls were jaw-droppingly beautiful! Johanna got us there very quickly before the big tour buses arrived! She spent time with the whole group explaining things and making sure nobody was left behind. She took pictures of us with our cameras/phones everywhere we went. She knew just the right shot to get!
She led us on a hike through the Dimmuborgir lava fields and pointed out the various formations. She was very patient with those of us that didn’t walk quite as fast as others. She was always there to help.
We then went to the tectonic plates where we could have one foot planted in Europe and the other planted in North America.
We went to the Baths at Lake Myvatn. The baths felt so good after the hiking we had done!
The Namafjall Hverir mud pots were very intriguing. The sulphur smell was very strong but still well with the trip.
Johanna took the people in the group that didn’t want to go into the Baths to Hverfjall Crater and a geothermal power plant.
Johanna was an EXCELLENT tour guide!

This is a wonderful day trip that should not be missed! - We had a small group tour and it was a perfect day. Our driver got us out and ahead of all the big buses. She made sure to give us the time we needed for pictures and even helped take some pictures. This was a perfect day and a great tour of the Godafoss Falls, the tectonic plates, and so much more. This is a perfect day trip that should not be missed.

Fabulous Trip - Fantastic trip with Joanna, who was so informative. Saw so many fantastic things, especially the Godafoss waterfall, underground lake and standing across the tectonic plates. The highlight was bathing in the Myvatn geothermal pools. Great trip when you only have a limited amount of time.

Fabulous tour that packs in so much! - I was thrilled with this tour. Johanna was an excellent guide, clearly passionate about what she does, and she packed so much into the day. We saw all the things listed - plus she threw in a few more beautiful locations. It was a magical day.

Joanna & Fox Adventures - just book with them! - Our tour guide was Joanna.
We can not recommend her and the company more highly.
They were completely aware of the popularity of all the spots we visited and requested we meet early so that we could make an early start and see the spots with as little congestion as possible.
When at the different spots, Joanna was happy to take photos & recommended the best spots to stand for great photos.
She gave a great running commentary that was interesting and entertaining.
She warned us about the flies at the lake and offered head nets if wanted.
The weather was glorious and the day was a full 9hours with 2hours relaxing at the Natural Baths.
(Just as an aside, we needed to buy antihistamines and Joanna googled the nearest pharmacy that would still be open, she drove us there and back, with no expectations of payment.)
Joanna went above & beyond to ensure that this trip was the best it could be.
I have said very little about the places because they are beautiful and need nothing more added from me.

Absolutely spectacular views - Incredible sights of both sides of the Geiranger Valley.
I had no idea we’d be so high. The snow was beautiful.
There was plenty of time for spectacular stops.
The guides of both coaches were so friendly and offered to take photos at some of the amazing stops.
Highly recommended

Great experience would highly recommend! - Our guide Joanne picked us up at the cruise terminal in a van. She got us to all of the sights before most of the big charter busses so we didn't have to contend with the large crowds. Since we were in a van we were able to go to places the busses couldn't. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this excursion!

Nice tour! - We really enjoyed our guide, Joanna, and the van was lovely. We also enjoyed experiencing the multitude of different environments this part of Iceland had to offer. I truly feel like you couldn’t ask for a more thorough tour. One little bit of advice - when your guide tells you the flies will be bad at the lake - believe them! It was really unbelievably bad and we were told it just gets worse as the summer goes on. If offered fly nets/protection - take it! The guides aren’t exaggerating!
