Lake Mývatn Classic from Akureyri

Our Most Popular Destination in North Iceland

Lake Mývatn Tour Through Areas of Geological Wonders and Breathtaking Nature

The Lake Mývatn area is by many considered the most beautiful place in Iceland. This has been one of Iceland’s most popular tourist destinations for years. An amazing journey through an area of extreme contrasts and nature’s diversity. The lake area has been a filming location for major Hollywood films and TV shows, such as Game of Thrones, Fast & Furious, and Star Wars. The tour guides are local experts who know the area like the back of their hands and are storytellers at heart.

This tour is also available as a private tour.

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 Hverir Mud Pools, Mt. Námafjall, Dimmuborgir Lava Fields, and Grjótagjá cave.
There the rift between the Eurasian & American Continents is very visible.

Lake Mývatn Nature Baths

Before returning 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 2 hours at the Nature Baths.

We offer several other tours that take you to, from, or around the Lake Mývatn area.
