This tour is designed to make the most of your time. The route begins with the farthest stops and ends closer to Akureyri, so the return to the port is shorter and more efficient. With guided transport and a return timed before your cruise ship leaves, everything feels simple and well planned.
Your Lake Myvatn tour from Akureyri starts with a pickup at the port, where you board a comfortable bus with free Wi-Fi. As the journey begins, you can sit back, enjoy the views, and have refreshments while heading toward your first stop.
Throughout the shore excursion, you travel with a guide who speaks your chosen language. Guides are available in English, Spanish, German, or Italian, making it easier to follow the journey and understand each stop along the way.
The first stop is Skutustadagigar Pseudocraters, a group of wide, grass-covered formations created by gas explosions thousands of years ago. Your guide shares how these unusual craters formed as you walk along gentle paths with views over the lake and nearby wetlands.
A short drive brings you to Dimmuborgir Lava Fields, known for its dark rock towers, arches, and caves. Walking paths lead through the area, where you can explore the formations up close and see how the lava cooled into unusual shapes.
The Lake Myvatn tour continues to Hverir Geothermal Area. You can walk along marked paths past bubbling mud pools and steaming vents. The strong sulfur smell and rising steam make it clear that the earth is still active beneath your feet.
On the way back, the tour stops at Godafoss Waterfall, one of the most famous waterfalls in North Iceland. Your guide points out the best viewing spots as you take in the wide cascade dropping about 39 feet (12 meters) and feel the mist in the air.
At Godafoss, there is time to relax with complimentary coffee or tea and Kleina, a traditional Icelandic pastry, at the nearby cafe. This stop offers a comfortable break and a chance to enjoy the view before returning to Akureyri Port.
