What sets this tour apart is the rugged and robust 4x4 vehicle you'll be traveling in, ensuring you can easily access even the most remote and stunning locations.

The falls are not only a natural spectacle but also hold a significant place in Icelandic history, as it was here that the country's conversion to Christianity was symbolized by the throwing of pagan idols into the foaming waters.

You'll explore Grjotagja cave and rift, offering a glimpse into the Earth's inner workings. Dimmurborgir Lava formations, with their otherworldly rock formations, will transport you to a different realm.

Next up are the pseudocraters, a unique geological formation that tells a tale of volcanic eruptions long past. As you venture further, the Hverir mud pots and natural steam vents/fumaroles will amaze you with their bubbling, boiling, and hissing displays of geothermal activity.

To cap off the day, you can visit the Myvatn Nature Baths, though please note that the entrance fee is not included in the tour package. Here, you can relax and unwind in the soothing geothermal waters, enjoying the beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.

This exceptional tour offers a deep dive into Lake Myvatn and Godafoss's natural wonders and the personalized touch of a small group setting and an experienced local guide. It's all made possible by the versatile and reliable 4x4 vehicle, allowing you to access these extraordinary locations with ease and comfort.
