Thrilling 9-Hour Lake Myvatn Classic Tour with Snowmobiling Adventure from Akureyri

Discover the wonders of one of Iceland's most beautiful regions and zoom across the ice on this classic Lake Myvatn and snowmobiling tour. This nine-hour adventure takes travelers to the Myvatn region's various attractions and lets them experience the thrill of riding a powerful recreational vehicle for winter.

The day begins when a friendly local guide picks you up from your Akureyri accommodation. You'll then ride a comfortable vehicle that will take you to Lake Myvatn.

During the drive, the guide may take you to a quick stop at the mighty Godafoss waterfall. Also known as the "Waterfall of the Gods," Godafoss waterfall stretches 100 feet (30 meters) wide, with water cascading down a 40-foot (12-meter) high horseshoe-shaped drop.

After enjoying the majestic views of the Godafoss waterfall, the guide will continue driving toward Lake Myvatn, where a snowmobile expert awaits. Before riding the snowmobile, the guide will give you the necessary gear for a safe and fun ride, such as helmets, boots, and coveralls. They will also discuss the basics of operating a snowmobile.

For one hour, you'll experience the thrill of speeding across the frozen terrain, with the crisp Arctic air rushing against your face. One of the highlights of snowmobiling in this area is the chance to explore the diverse geological features that make Lake Myvatn so unique.

Since you'll be joining other travelers on the standard Lake Myvatn Classic Tour, you'll also visit the region's main attractions. The guide will take you to the fascinating Skutustadagigar pseudocraters, which give the Lake Myvatn area its moon-like appearance.

You'll also visit the Dimmuborgir lava fields. Often referred to as the "Dark Castles," Dimmuborgir has a landscape of bizarre and intricate lava formations similar to the ruins of an old fortress. Another breathtaking stop is Namafjall, where the Hverir geothermal area is located. The area is rich in geothermal wonders like steaming fumaroles, boiling mud pots, and vibrant mineral deposits.

As you explore the Hverir geothermal area, check out how the ground is stained with shades of red, yellow, and orange, created by the various minerals brought to the surface by geothermal activity.

The guide will also take you to Grjotagja cave, an underground wonder known for its striking geothermal hot spring. In addition to the hot spring, you'll find a rift separating the Eurasian and American continents. These features made the Grjotagja cave one of the filming locations for the Game of Thrones TV series.

At the end of the tour, your guide will take you back to your Akureyri accommodation with an option to stop at the Myvatn Nature Baths to relax your mind and body. Often called the "Blue Lagoon of the North," the Myvatn Nature Baths feature mineral-rich geothermal water from underground hot springs.
