  • Akureyri
  • Panoramic views of Eyjafjordur
  • Godafoss waterfall
  • Lake Myvatn
  • Pseudocraters at Skutustadir
  • Dimmuborgir lava maze
  • Hverir solfatara field at Namaskard

Daily Itinerary

Day 1:

Flight from Reykjavík to Akureyri. Local pick up from Akureyri airport and transfer to your choice of accommodation where you will stay for 2 nights. If you arrive in Akureyri on morning flight then you could fit in a short additional tour (needs to be pre-booked).
In the evening you join a 2 – 3-hour Northern Lights tour (starting at 21:30). During the tour, we drive out into the countryside away from the city lights to hunt for the Northern Lights. There is nothing as impressive as a moonlit starry winter night with the Northern lights dancing in the sky. While observing this phenomenon, we enjoy a light refreshment before returning to Akureyri.

Day 2:

Lake Myvatn Winter Coach Tour, departing at 09:00. This winter tour to one of the most exciting spots in North Iceland focuses on the most attractive features of the Lake Myvatn area and its surroundings. The first stop is at Godafoss waterfall, not only famous for its breathtaking beauty but also its significant historical value related to the Christianisation of Iceland. From Godafoss the tour continues through the valley of Reykjadalur to Skutustadir in the Lake Myvatn district. Next stop is at Dimmuborgir, a lava labyrinth of magnificent basaltic pillars and lava sculptures. After a short walk in Dimmuborgir, the tour continues through the lava field to Grjotagja (road conditions permitting), which used to be a popular underground bathing cave among the locals before the Krafla Fires (1975-1984) when the water became too hot to bathe in. We continue east over the Namaskard mountain to explore the solfatara field of Hverir (Namaskard) where groundwater is heated by an underground magma intrusion. Sulphur deposits are brought to the surface, and the area is characterised by a strong smell of sulphur. After a short walk around the fumaroles and mud pits we head for the final destination of the tour, the Mývatn Nature Baths, where visitors get the chance to bathe in the silky smooth geothermal water (entrance fee to the spa is not included, you can decide on the day if you want to go into the spa). After time at the Nature Baths, we drive back to Akureyri where estimated arrival around 17:00.

If you were unlucky and did not see the Northern Lights on your first evening, then you have a chance for another complimentary Northern Lights tour this evening (departure at 21:30).

Day 3:

Transfer from your accommodation to Akureyri airport in time for your flight departure. If you choose late afternoon or early evening flight then you have the possibility for another optional tour or free time to enjoy the atmosphere of this charming town.
