Highly recommend but know that one needs to be ready for a workout . - We enjoyed a small group tour with Hillary. He was mindful of our surroundings and our age (70s). He advised of the strenuous activity but was careful not to tell that we. Old not so something. With that in mind, we explored waterfalls, craters and various landscapes. When the group decided that we had been at one spot long enough we traveled to another. He made sure that we saw all the sights and provided us with a historical perspective of the area. When one member of our group wanted to stop at a local store, he took us there only after everyone agreed. Hilmar was courteous, kind, informative and willingly to help in any way possible. We loved this tour and our highly recommend it to anyone wanted to not only see the sights but to understand the geological history of the region .

A great day out - A great 5/6 hour trip for a short port stay on a cruise. The museum is small but amazing. Waterfall was impressive and Saga travel give you free coffee and a donut. Forest lagoon was lovely!

Great family friendly tour - We just experienced this tour. It was so fun to do with our kids (9 & 11). Fönn was a great guide and gave all kinds of fun tidbits about Aykeuri, Iceland in general, current and past culture. The waterfall was awesome, the Happy Marriage Cake delicious, the farm explanation hilarious, and the Forest Lagoon makes me want to go back! Would 100% recommend.

Godafoss Falls are totally worth it! - 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!

Not long enough in the lagoon - We had an hour at the turf house which was too long, and then only had 1hr25 at the Lagoon which included waiting for a wristband, waiting for a brief from the coach, getting changed before and after the swim which would have left 1hr or less to enjoy the lagoon.
They should mention that there’s a free bus from the lagoon back to town every hour for those that want to actually enjoy the lagoon for longer than an hour.
The lagoon itself is absolutely beautiful and it would be easy to spend 3-4 hours in there.
They should make it clear that you’ll only have an hour or less to enjoy the lagoon.
