Journey through North Iceland´s unique Mývatn region, renowned for its fascinating geological formations, volcanic lava fields, and hot-springs. Mývatn lake teams with birdlife attracted to the abundant fish who call the nutrient-rich waters their home. The lake is surrounded by countless other stunning attractions including Dimmuborgir´s stunning lava formations, Skutustadir craters and much more. We will also make a stop at the waterfall of the gods at Goðafoss waterfall.

This tour includes a delicious packed lunch. Join us for this fascinating 6 hour tour sightseeing tour from Akureyri.

Start your adventure at the stunning Goðafoss waterfall, known as the “Waterfall of the Gods,” where powerful cascades plunge into a serene pool, creating a picturesque setting. From there, travel to Lake Mývatn, a beautiful area known for its diverse landscapes, from lush wetlands to dramatic volcanic scenery.

Discover the unique Skútustaðir pseudo-craters, formed by ancient lava flows meeting water, creating craters that look like real volcanic cones but were formed in a different way. Nearby, explore the Dimmuborgir lava formations, a labyrinth of lava pillars, caves, and rock arches created by volcanic activity thousands of years ago, giving the area an otherworldly appearance.

Continue to the Námaskarð geothermal region, where you’ll witness the raw power of Iceland’s geothermal energy. This area is filled with boiling mud pools, steaming vents, and colorful mineral-rich hot springs, creating a surreal landscape that showcases the earth’s natural forces at work.
