About this experience

Lake Mývatn and the surrounding area are an absolute must if you're exploring the North! First, we'll cruise along the coast of Eyjafjörður, which is actually one of the longest fjords in Iceland. Our first stop is Goðafoss waterfall - seriously, it's one of the most stunning waterfalls you'll ever see. Then we're off to Lake Mývatn, which was formed by a massive lava eruption about 2300 years ago. The whole area is packed with wild volcanic landscapes, lava pillars, and these really cool rootless vents. We'll also check out Grjótagjá cave and make a stop at the steamy hot springs at Hverarönd in Námaskarð. On our way back, we'll swing by the unique lava formations at Dimmuborgir - they're super popular and for good reason! We'll also stop at Skútustaðagígar, which is this awesome area full of pseudocraters. Our last stop is back in Eyjafjörður, where you'll get an amazing view over the fjord to Akureyri - perfect for snapping some photos. If you're up for it, you can also join us for a visit to geothermal springs. At the moment we visit Forest Lagoon until Earth lagoon is reopend again. You'll have about an hour and a half to chill and soak before we head back to town. You can add the admission at checkout. It's going to be an awesome day!
