Lake Mývatn and the surroundings are a must-see while exploring the north!

​

First, we drive along the coast of Eyjafjordur, one of the longest fjords in Iceland. We begin by stopping at Goðafoss waterfall, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland, on our way to Lake Mývatn, the lake was created by a large basaltic lava eruption 2300 years ago, and the surrounding landscape is dominated by volcanic landforms, including lava pillars and rootless vents.

We stop in Skútustaðagígar (pseudo craters) on the way to the unique lava formations of Dimmuborgir which are among the most popular tourist attractions in the Mývatn area. We also go to Grjótagjá Rift, an old natural bathing spot filled with naturally heated water coming out of a rift.

We will stop at Selfoss waterfall and Dettifoss, one of the most powerful waterfall in Europe.

You get the chance to take a bathe in the geothermal water. After the stop in the nature baths we drive back to Akureyri. Our last stop is in Eyjafjordur where you can see over the fjord to Akureyri.
