Review of the 5-hour Seydisfjordur shore excursion to Studlagil Canyon and Gufufoss, with practical advice on value, stairs, guides, and timing.
“The gorgeous blue skies and moderate temperatures made our trip a good one. Our tour guide Ana was lovely, making the best of our situation. That being said, we did have a bus breakdown which caused us to not have any extra time in town after the tour. Luckily the weather was so good that waiting an hour for a new bus was not uncomfortable. The tour itself was fine but we definitely have seen better falls and sights on other tours. I was personally underwhelmed by the canyon and wish we had been on the other side of the canyon. However, Ana did her very best and we are…”

Review of the Ísafjörður Dynjandi tour, with waterfall views, a working farm, local guides, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“The Dynjandi waterfall was the main stop. It was impressive, but very crowded. The drive to and from the falls was a treat. We made a number of stops along the way to get out and look around. Saw seals and Eider ducks. The tunnel was an interesting experience. Enjoyed the farm tour. Bus driver and tour-guide were great. Our guide had great English and answered all our many questions. Some in the back of the bus complained about how steamy it got and they had trouble seeing out the windows. An idea for future improvement might be to train your neighbor's horses to come for carrots when you stop.…”

Happily for us not very many others onsite at the time of our visit, so no problem getting clear photos on an absolutely gorgeous day. Very good value.”
