Description

Day Tour Lake Mývatn and Goðafoss

When coming to North Iceland Goðafoss waterfall, and the fascinating nature of the Lake Mývatn area is almost a must for every visitor. The short daylight hours of the darkest winter months make the landscape look even more mystical than usual. It’s something you don’t want to miss.

Highlights

  • Goðafoss waterfall (The waterfall of the gods)
  • Skútustaðagígar pseudo craters (formed in volcanic activity)
  • Dimmuborgir (Dark castle) unbelievable lava formations in all shapes and sizes. Not to miss while in Iceland!
  • Hverarönd in Námaskarð (hot spring area)
  • The Nature baths of Mývatn, the blue lagoon of
    the North. Good time to enjoy the bathing (Entrance fee not included )

Daily Itinerary

First we drive along the coast of Eyjafjordur, one of the longest fjords in Iceland. We begin by stopping at Goðafoss waterfall, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland, on our way to Lake Mývatn, the lake was created by a large basaltic lava eruption 2300 years ago, and the surrounding landscape is dominated by volcanic land-forms, including lava pillars and rootless vents. We take a look at Grjótagjá cave and a stop at the hot spring area at Hverarönd in Námaskarð and in the Nature baths where you get the chance to relax in the steam baths and bathe in the geothermal water you can also take a massage in the baths. On the way back we come to the unique lava formations of Dimmuborgir which are among the most popular tourist attractions in the Lake Myvatn area, we stop also in Skútustaðagígar (pseudo craters area). Our last stop is in Eyjafjordur where you can see over the fjord to Akureyri and take a great photo shot. You can not go wrong with this moderately priced and well organized small group tour.
