We felt like we had a full day at that point, and then he took us to two volcanic craters that were breathtakingly beautiful and two waterfalls. Going to Haifoss turned out to be a true highlight for me, and was one of the prettiest falls we saw anywhere on our trip. Do not pass up this trip - it’s worth every penny!!!”
