Discover Lake Myvatn and Godafoss Waterfall on a private shore excursion from Husavik. This guided day tour is perfect for cruise passengers looking to explore North Iceland’s highlights in comfort, flexibility, and convenience.
Your 5.5-hour adventure begins at Husavik Port, where your local guide greets you as soon as your ship docks. Enjoy a scenic drive along Eyjafjordur, Iceland’s longest fjord, taking in stunning coastal views on the way to the region’s volcanic landscapes.
Arrive at Godafoss, the 'Waterfall of the Gods,' named for the Viking legend of a chieftain throwing their pagan statues into the falls. Walk along gentle paths that are easy for all ages. Admire the curved cascade while your guide shares fascinating folklore.
Around 25 miles (40 kilometers) east lies Lake Myvatn, a volcanic wonder formed over 2,300 years ago. Its mirrored surface reflects lava formations, pseudocraters, and birdlife that thrive in this otherworldly landscape.
Just a 10-minute drive from Lake Myvatn, explore Skutustadagigar. Walk among the stunning row of pseudocraters surrounded by green vegetation. Climb the staircases to reach the top and enjoy sweeping views of the bowl-shaped craters and nearby wetlands.
Explore Hofdi, a striking lava formation near Lake Myvatn. The site appeared in the HBO hit series Game of Thrones as the North of the Wall landscape.
About 15 minutes away, you’ll reach the Hverir Mud Pools in the Namafjall Geothermal Area. Walk safely along paths while observing bubbling mud and steaming vents. The colorful geothermal landscape offers a glimpse of Iceland’s volcanic energy in action.
Visit Grjotagja Cave, a lava chamber between two tectonic plates. Take a glimpse of the glowing blue waters below, a reminder of the geothermal forces still shaping Iceland. This hot spring is too hot for swimming due to recent volcanic activity.
Nearby, Dimmuborgir Lava Fields features twisting pillars and hidden caves that look like ancient castles and towers. As you follow the easy walking paths, you’ll feel the mysterious, almost otherworldly atmosphere that has inspired Icelandic legends for centuries.
End your North Iceland tour at Earth Lagoon Myvatn. Soak in warm, mineral-rich geothermal waters with naturally heated pools of varying temperatures. Take in the views of the surrounding lava fields and steaming vents, a perfect spot to relax after a day of adventure.
Please note that entrance to the lagoon is not included in the tour price. Tickets and any food or drinks at the Kvika Restaurant are at your own expense, giving you the flexibility to decide how to enjoy the experience.
After a full day of exploration, your guide drives you back to Husavik Port with plenty of time to board your ship.
