About this activity
waterfall of the gods or Goðafoss is in the glacial river Skjálfandafljót and is one of Iceland´s great waterfalls.
Goðafoss plays a large part in Icelandic history. The legend tells of a local chieftain Þorgeir, who threw statues of the pagan gods into a waterfall after the nation became Christians. The name Goðafoss means waterfall of the gods. we stop for about an hour so you can enjoy the most of the stunning nature all around the waterfall.
next stop is the Christmas House: Open all year round, this magical house looks like it came straight from a book of fairy tales. Outside in the garden there are plenty of hidden things for you to find and enjoy!
Upon entering the Christmas House you are greeted with the warmth of a log fire and the songs and the scents of the festive season.
Even the toilet is something to see. Try to find the Santa's troll mother (Gryla) hidden in her cave. The Christmas House is a magical place to visit, all year round. A fun tour for all the family.
On arriving back to the town we take you on a sightseeing tour of Akureyri
all under guidnes of local chauffeur and small group tour..
