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 Forest Lagoon, just outside Akureyri. 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!
This tour includes comfortable transportation in a minibus and English-speaking guide to enhance your experience.
Remember to bring your towel and swimsuit. If you forget, don’t worry—you also have the option to rent them on-site.
Goðafoss Waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland. Nicknamed the Waterfall of the Gods due to its history. In the year 1000, Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði made Christianity the official religion of Iceland and proceeded with throwing his statues of gods into the waterfall.
The water falls from a height of 12 meters over a width of 30 meters.
Pseudo craters are geological formations that are rare nationally as well as globally. Pseudo craters are rare lava formations formed by steam explosions where thin-flowing lava flows over lakes and swamps. The craters are among the most significant natural monuments in Iceland and by Lake Mývatn they are particularly beautiful in shape and form the framework of the lake.
Dimmuborgir was formed in an eruption that occurred
in the area 2,300 years ago.
As lava flowed across the area, it passed over a lake, causing it to boil. This both quickened the cooling of the lava and caused pillars of steam to shatter parts of it. After it solidified, Dimmuborgir area became defined by large stacks of rock and many caves and caverns, caused by bubbles of intense steam.
As such, many have compared Dimmuborgir to a medieval castle, with its many hidden chambers and its rising towers.
Grjótagjá is a small lava cave near Lake Mývatn in Iceland. It has a thermal spring inside. In the early 18th century the outlaw Jón Markússon lived there and used the cave for bathing. Until the 1970s Grjótagjá was a popular bathing site.
Hverir Geothermal Area is located in Northeast Iceland.
You can see many smoking fumaroles and boiling mud pots, surrounded by sulphur crystals of many different colours. Sulphur gives the area an overwhelming smell.
Please note that the tour schedule may vary depending on your cruise ship's docking times. For some cruise arrivals, there may not be sufficient time to include a visit to Forest Lagoon.
The tour is scheduled according to your ship's docking and departure times.
If you choose to visit Forest Lagoon, you will typically have approximately 1.5 hours to enjoy the lagoon, although this may vary depending on docking times. Guests who prefer not to bathe will be transferred to Akureyri earlier, allowing additional time to explore the town at their leisure.
