Activity itinerary

Godafoss
  • 40m
After around 35 min drive from Akureyri we come to Godafoss, one of Iceland´s most beautiful and uniquely shaped waterfalls. Here we tell you why the falls are important in Icelandic history and give you enough time to explore the area close up.
Skutustaoagigar
  • 15m
Skútustaðagígar are definatly one of the Icelandic gems. One of the landmarks in Lake Myvatn area are these unique and beautifully formed crater. They are called pseudo craters as they are not caused by the actual explosion of volcanos, but our guide will tell you all about them.
Dimmuborgir Lava Formations

We take our time to drive around the lake during the day and visit many different places. Dimmuborgir is a unique and very interesting area. Visitors are given time to walk among the unusual lava sculptures, pillars and caves. Our guides know everything about this area and will be happy to walk with you to explain how the area was created 2,500 years ago, as well as tell you a few folktales about the local trolls.
Grjotagja Cave
  • 20m
Grjótagjá is a small cave in the Lake Mývatn area, and was a popular swimming place at one time. However, geological activity in the period 1975-1984, caused the temperature of the water to rise to such a degree that it has not been possible to bathe there since. At Grjotagjá our guide will show you the the crack between the 2 tectonic plates and tell you about all the continental drift of the plates, mantle plumes and volcanic activity in Iceland.
Namafjall Hverir
  • 20m
Hverir is a geothermal area at the foothill of Namaskard near Lake Myvatn. Features include colourful sulphur mud pits, steam vents, cracked mud and fumaroles. This area is colourful, mystic and extremely beautiful...but a bit smelly of all the sulphur
