Private North Iceland Tour with Earth Lagoon Myvatn Entry and Transfer from Akureyri

Discover the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation on this unforgettable North Iceland tour. This 6.5-hour journey from Akureyri takes you through some of the region’s most dramatic natural wonders, before ending with a soothing soak in the famous Earth Lagoon Myvatn.

As a private experience, this North Iceland tour allows you to explore at your own pace with the full attention of your guide. Travel in comfort on a luxurious vehicle, enjoy flexible stops, and experience North Iceland in a way that feels personal and tailored just for you.

Your day tour begins with a pickup from your accommodation, port, or the airport in Akureyri. As you head out, enjoy the scenic drive through North Iceland’s striking landscapes, including rolling farmlands, volcanic hills, and sweeping views of distant mountains

First, you’ll visit Godafoss, the “Waterfall of the Gods”. Famous for its horseshoe shape and graceful cascade, Godafoss stretches 98 feet (30 meters) across and plunges 39 feet (12 meters) into a rocky basin. 

It’s one of the most photogenic waterfalls in Iceland, with accessible paths and multiple viewing points on both sides of the river. Mist from the falls and quick-changing weather add to the magic, so dress in layers and bring waterproof gear.

Your North Iceland tour continues to Lake Myvatn, a shallow volcanic lake surrounded by lava fields, pseudocraters, and steaming hot springs. 

Known as a haven for birdlife, especially in summer when dozens of duck species nest here, it offers a unique mix of wildlife and geological wonders. The name “Myvatn” even means “midge lake,” referring to the tiny insects that support the lake’s rich ecosystem.

You’ll also explore the Hverir Geothermal Field, an otherworldly landscape of bubbling mud pots and bright mineral-stained earth in fiery shades of orange, red, and yellow. With its dramatic steam vents and surreal terrain, Hverir is a dream for photographers. Don’t forget your camera!

Finally, it’s time for the highlight of the day: a relaxing visit to the Earth Lagoon. Slip into warm, mineral-rich waters and let the stunning views of the surrounding lava landscapes melt your stress away. 

Two natural steam baths, built directly over a geothermal area, add to the experience as sulfur steam rises from vents in the earth below. The baths are fed by water drawn from an 8,202-foot (2,500-meter) drilled hole, rich in minerals and perfectly suited for bathing. 

For lunch, you can stop by Cafe Kvika (at your own expense) for light meals and drinks in a serene setting overlooking the landscape.

After a day filled with breathtaking scenery and rejuvenating relaxation, your guide will bring you back to Akureyri, where your private North Iceland tour officially ends.
