Tour Description

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. We stop there before travelling for another half hour to the Lake Mývatn area.

The 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  Mt. Námafjall geothermal area, Dimmuborgir Lava Fields, and Grjótagjá cave.
At this unique grotto the rift between the Eurasian & American Continents is very visible.

​Note that this tour is only available from November to March. In summer we operate a variety of Shore Excursion for cruise ships. Travelers that are visiting Akureyri are of course welcome to join our shore excursions, even if they are not on board a cruise ship.
