Great tour with great scenery - Easy to find the bus, and very close to the Cruise ship pier. Super friendly and helpful staff. The tour lasted about 3 hours and gave you plenty of time to see the waterfall.

Great Tour! - Had a wonderful experience with Saga Travel and Hilmar, our guide. The bus ride was smooth, taking us through a very long tunnel going to the falls and through the mountain pass on the way back. Pathways to and around the falls are easy; very manageable. Saga Travel has a connection to this quaint Hotel there, so coffee and a Nordic pastry were a pleasant surprise. Great morning, beautiful falls! We highly recommend this tour!!

Godafoss Waterfall - Beautiful scenery and history of Iceland and its people. Our guide Runar and driver Andri were the best!

Best tour for Godafoss with time to enjoy town - This was a great waterfall to see and Saga Travel did a good job. Our tour guide was terrific! She shared a lot of information that was very interesting. We had just enough time at the waterfall. And coffee and an Iceland pastry was a special treat.
The tour says 2.5 hours but it was just over 3 hours, mostly because we stopped to get pictures of the ship and Akureyri as we returned.
By then I was excited to get into town and see it. We spent about 20 minutes while people took pictures of our ship - way too long!
But I recommend this tour, very nice bus, great guide and coffee and pastry was nice!

Breathtaking beauty. - Outstanding scenery with an informative, personable guide. We took the scenic route to the magnificent waterfalls passing through the countryside where homes and farms sit nestled at the base of snow capped volcanic peaks. This is Iceland at its best.

Fabulous short and simple trip to Godafoss - This was a simple, quick, and yet well organised visit to the major sight close to Akeueri, the Godafoss waterfall.
The driver had a great sense of humour, gave out superb information, dropped us close to the falls with good instructions about how to walk there and find the bus on return, and the tour included a free coffee and donut at the nearby cafe (which also meant no queuing for toilets).
We were back at the ship in justa few hours delighted at how quick and easy this was to see such an impressive sight.

Glad we took this tour - Saga did a great job of running this tour. Manuel was a great tour guide, keeping us entertained. The falls were gorgeous. Bus comfy. What seemed different from other tours there was the ticket they gave us to access the hotel bathrooms for free and get free coffee or tea and an Icelandic donut type thing. Nice to sit inside where warm.

Great choice - Belin did a great job with our small group. There were 4 of us as English speakers and 2 Spanish speakers for this tour. The pick up location at the cruise port was convenient as well. Our excursion was exactly as described and well worth our time and money. The waterfall was spectacular!
