What you can expect

Embark on an unforgettable Lake Mývatn and Goðafoss Waterfall tour, beginning with convenient departure from Akureyri. Travel in comfort as you journey to your first destination, the renowned Goðafoss Waterfall. Known as the “Waterfall of the Gods,” Goðafoss stands approximately 12 metres high and 30 metres wide, admired for its stunning natural beauty and historical importance. The site offers visitor amenities including bathrooms, a souvenir shop, and a welcoming café.

Following your visit to Goðafoss, the tour proceeds to the Skútustaðagígar Craters, where you will enjoy sweeping views of Lake Mývatn and its distinctive landscape. These pseudocraters, formed through historical volcanic activity, provide a unique perspective on the region’s geological development and are ideal for photography enthusiasts.

Your next stop is the remarkable Dimmuborgir Lava Formations, a landscape characterised by dramatic lava pillars, caves, and natural arches formed over 2,000 years ago. Dimmuborgir is steeped in Icelandic folklore and is said to be inhabited by mythical trolls and the Yule Lads, adding an intriguing cultural dimension to your visit.

The tour concludes at the Námafjall Hverir geothermal area, a vivid demonstration of Iceland’s dynamic volcanic activity. Here, you will witness bubbling mud pools, steaming fumaroles, and earth tinted in striking shades of red, orange, and yellow. The area’s otherworldly appearance and strong sulphur aroma offer a truly immersive geothermal experience. After exploring Hverir, relax on your return journey to Akureyri.
