Lake Mývatn and the surroundings are a must-see while exploring the North!
First, we drive along the coast of Eyjafjörður, one of the longest fjords in Iceland. We begin by stopping at GoPGafoss 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 landforms, 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.
On the way back we come to the unique lava formations of Dimmuborgir which are among the most popular tourist attractions in the Lake Mývatn area, we stop also in Skútustaðagígar (pseudocraters area).
Our last stop is in Eyjafjörður where you can see over the fjord to Akureyri and take a great photo.
We are visiting different hot springs depending on the season:
May-September we visit Forest Lagoon located right outside Akureyri
October-April we visit Earth Lagoon in the Lake Mývatn area.
This tour includes comfortable transportation in a minibus, a complimentary pickup service, 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.
If no pick up place was chosen we pick up from 8:50- 09:00 at KEA hotel Hafnarstræti 89
From October to April, we visit Earth Lagoon at Lake Mývatn. Guests who choose not to bathe can relax in the on-site restaurant and enjoy a meal, coffee, or refreshments while the others enjoy the lagoon.
During the summer months (May–September), we stop at Forest Lagoon, located just outside Akureyri. As the lagoon is close to town, guests who do not wish to bathe will be transported back to Akureyri while the rest of the group enjoys their time at the lagoon.
