Private Tour
Overview
From Akureyri we drive to Lake Myvatn, one of the most scenic places in Iceland due to the landscape filled with craters and lava formations. Lake Myvatn is a spectacular place where lava and geothermic activity is changing the landscape every day. Lake Myvatn has an amazing bird population, unique lava formations, and bubbling mud pits. Breathtaking panoramic views make Lake Myvatn one of the most beautiful places in the world.
The first stop on the way is at the waterfall Godafoss (The Waterfall of The Gods), one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland. Its name derives from the year 999 or 1000 when the Lawspeaker Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði made Christianity the official religion of Iceland. After his conversion it is said that upon returning from the Alþingi, Þorgeir threw his statues of the Norse gods into the waterfall Godafoss, hence the name.
From Godafoss we head to Dimmuborgir, a large area composed of various volcanic caves and rock formations, reminiscent of an ancient collapsed citadel. Dimmuborgir in Lake Myvatn is a one-of-a-kind lava formation.
Next, we visit Jardbodin (the nature bath), which is a place as unique as the Blue Lagoon.
From Jardbodin we drive toNamaskard. The name derives from the 19th-century sulfur recovery located at an altitude of 410 m. The place is a myriad of hot mud springs in widely different colors. From Namaskard we drive back to Akureyri.
All our trips include a downtown city tour at the end of every trip.
