Our first stop is at Goðafoss Waterfall, an impressive crescent-shaped cascade. Around 12 metres (39 feet) high and 30 metres (100 feet) wide, Goðafoss is situated on the Skjálfandafljót River. Its name translates as “Waterfall of the Gods” – legend has it that apowerful chieftain cast his pagon idols into the falls upon converting to Chistianity.

The falls have therefore come to symbolise the Christianisation of Iceland as a whole. Admire these falls from from one of several viewing paltforms and persceptives. We also check out the smaller Geitafoss waterfall, situated just a few hundred metres downstream.

After a shore fjord photo stop, we come to Forest Lagoon – your tour ticket includes the Warm entrance tier ticket giving you access to all the lagoon´s pools, cold plunhes and saunas. While away a few hours in the geothermal infinity pool, enjoying spectacular mountain, fjord, and city views.
