Description
See Godafoss Waterfall and the highlights of Lake Myvatn on this shore excursion from Akureyri Port with an Italian-speaking guide, timed to your cruise ship's arrival.
Your guide meets you in front of your cruise ship at Akureyri Port. Then you board a bus for the drive of about 56 miles (90 kilometers) to Lake Myvatn.
Your first stop is Godafoss Waterfall, the "Waterfall of the Gods," which is 39 feet (12 meters) high and 98 feet (30 meters) wide and known for its history. There are toilets, a souvenir shop, and a cafe at the waterfall.
Next, you visit the Skutustadagigar Pseudocraters, with a view over Lake Myvatn and its surroundings.
A short drive away are the Dimmuborgir Lava Fields, with lava pillars, caves, and natural arches formed by volcanic activity more than 2,000 years ago. In Icelandic folklore, trolls and the Yule Lads, the Icelandic Christmas characters, live here. The tour takes a snack break at the Skutustadagigar or Dimmuborgir stop.
Then you continue to the Hverir Geothermal Area at Mount Namafjall, with bubbling mud pools, steaming fumaroles, and red and yellow sulfur-streaked ground.
Back in Akureyri, you can get off in the city center, or stay on the bus to the port.
