6-Hour Small-Group Lake Myvatn & Godafoss Shore Excursion From Akureyri Port

See Lake Myvatn and Godafoss Waterfall on this small-group shore excursion from Akureyri Port. The tour suits cruise passengers who want to see the highlights of North Iceland.

You meet your guide at Akureyri Port, so the tour is easy to join from your cruise ship.

You drive along Eyjafjordur Fjord, the longest fjord in Iceland, to your first stop, Godafoss Waterfall, the "Waterfall of the Gods." Here, you learn about its history, which is linked to the time when Icelanders adopted Christianity.

The tour continues to Lake Myvatn, formed by a lava eruption about 2,300 years ago. You visit the Namaskard Geothermal Area, with the boiling mud pots of Hverir and the steam vents of Hverarond.

Next is Dimmuborgir Lava Field, the "dark castles." You walk among the lava formations and see the pillars and shapes left behind by a drained lava lake.

Then you stop at Earth Lagoon Myvatn, where you can bathe in the geothermal water at your own expense. If you prefer not to bathe, your guide can take you to Grjotagja Cave, which holds geothermal hot water and was once used for bathing.

At the end of the tour, you are dropped off at Akureyri Port.
