6 Day Lake Mývatn Northern Lights Nature Adventure

Read More, See on map or just book your trip now

Complete Winter Experience

The Lake Mývatn area is by many considered the most beautiful and diverse place in Iceland. This rural area is calmer and more easygoing than the larger towns, and you can be sure to find the comfort and tranquillity you need. It is also in the driest part of Iceland and therefore has the least cloud coverage which is a positive factor when searching for the Northern Lights. On this 6 Day winter short break we offer four fabulous day tours, including a exclusive caving tour to Lofthellir Ice Cave and a Super Jeep tour to Dettifoss Waterfall. Also included are domestic flight in Iceland and of course all accommodation.

Accommodation

You can select between Budget, Comfort or Superior accommodation options when booking this break. More information on these options can be found here:
