Detailed Itinerary

The journey, in full

Pickup is from 8:45-9:00 AM, when we start our tour to Lake Mývatn. We drive east from Akureyri, cross Eyjafjörður fjord and enjoy the view of the town, the ocean and the mountains surrounding the fjord. After only a half-hour drive we arrive at the picturesque Goðafoss Waterfall. There we make a stop before we travel for another half hour to the Lake Mývatn area. We explore the pseudo-craters of Skútustaðagígar where we enjoy the great panoramic view of the area. For the next hours, we visit local nature highlights, such as Hverir Mud Pools, Mt. Námafjall, Dimmuborgir Lava Fields and Grjótagjá cave. There the rift between the Eurasian & American Continents is very visible. Before returning back to Akureyri we visit the Mývatn Nature Baths. The baths are located in the middle of lava fields where you can soak in a relaxing geothermal lagoon. The entry fee is NOT included in the tour price. We stop for at least 1 hour at the Nature Baths.
