Stepping off your cruise in Seyðisfjörður, you’ll be greeted by your friendly local guide for a rejuvenating half-day tour that perfectly balances scenic beauty and relaxation.
We begin with a breathtaking mountain drive offering sweeping views of fjords and valleys as we make our way to Gufufoss, one of East Iceland’s most photogenic waterfalls. This peaceful cascade, often called a mini Skógafoss, is a serene spot that many cruise passengers never get to see.
Next, we journey to the acclaimed Vök Baths on Lake Urriðavatn—an otherworldly geothermal spa featuring floating infinity pools nestled in the still waters of the lake. Soak in mineral-rich waters while gazing out across the untouched wilderness. You’ll also enjoy complimentary herbal tea brewed from lake-filtered water, and can explore the bathhouse’s café and facilities.
Your friendly local guide greets you as you disembark your cruise ship. After a brief introduction and overview, you’ll board a comfortable minibus or coach.
Ascend the dramatic Fjarðarheiði mountain pass. Enjoy panoramic views of the fjords, snow-streaked peaks, and lush valleys. Your guide shares insights into the area’s geology, culture, and folklore along the way.

Soak in the warm, mineral-rich waters of Vök’s floating geothermal pools. Sip complimentary herbal tea made from lake-filtered water, and explore the elegant facilities, including optional refreshments at the on-site café.
