About Myvatn Tours

The Myvatn region is a diverse area surrounding Lake Myvatn in Iceland’s north. There are many geological sites here for you to explore, such as the Dimmuborgir lava fortress, as well as a high level of geothermal activity, visible at places such as the Namaskard Pass and Grjotagja hot spring cave.

3. What is the Diamond Circle?

It is a popular tourist route in North-Iceland which includes stops at four locations; the town of Husavik, Lake Myvatn, Dettifoss Waterfall and Asbyrgi Canyon. Other stops can include Godafoss waterfall, Dimmuborgir lava field, and Tjornes Peninsula.

Yes! Besides sightseeing, there are dog sledging tours that operate in the area, Super Jeep tours to Viti Caldera, and you can visit the Myvatn Nature Baths. Close by are the towns of Husavík and Akureyri, both of which offer whale watching tours.

10. Are there any active volcanoes near Lake Myvatn?

Yes. The caldera Krafla is located in the Myvatn region. It has erupted 29 times in recorded history, but don’t worry, all volcanoes in Iceland are monitored.
