Departing Akureyri, witness the majestic Goðafoss waterfall before immersing yourself in the otherworldly landscapes of Mývatn, from volcanic craters to geothermal fields, ending with a relaxing soak.
Goðafoss
Witness the 'Waterfall of the Gods,' a powerful horseshoe-shaped cascade where, according to legend, pagan idols were cast into its waters after Iceland's conversion to Christianity.
Hverfjall Crater Rim
Embark on a moderate hike around the rim of this massive, well-preserved tephra crater, offering panoramic views of the entire Mývatn area and its unique volcanic landscape. The trail is exposed but rewarding.
Dimmuborgir
Explore the 'Dark Castles,' a field of unusually shaped lava formations, including natural arches and caves, created by a collapsed lava tube. Follow the easy 'Church Circle' trail through this mystical landscape.
Námaskarð (Hverir)
Witness the raw power of the earth at this vibrant geothermal area. Walk among bubbling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and sulfurous vents, creating an otherworldly, colorful, and aromatic landscape.
Myvatn Nature Baths
Relax and rejuvenate in the soothing, mineral-rich geothermal waters of the 'Blue Lagoon of the North.' Enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding Mývatn landscape from the warm pools.
