The tour is a journey through history, geology, and scenic beauty. We start the day with a stop at the magnificent Goðafoss waterfall which also plays a big role in Iceland's history. Next we tour the Lake Mývatn area with its abundant bird life and amazing volcanic landscapes. The lake's unique features are shaped by nature, including strange lava formations, volcanic craters, and attractive bays filled with thousands of ducks and other birds. Look at pseudo-craters at Skútustaðir, with possibility of a visit to a local farmer to learn about the food culture of the area. Stroll through the mysterious lava labyrinth of Dimmuborgir. Stop at an amazing site; Grjótagjá fissure, where you can stand with one foot in each continent on the boundary between the Eurasian and North American Tectonic plates and take a look into the former bathing area of the local farmers. We visit boiling sulphur hot spring area Námaskarð, and our last stop (optional) is the geothermal Mývatn Nature Baths for a relaxing bath.
First stop will be Goðafoss, one of the most spectacular waterfall in Iceland. It is half an hour drive from Akureyri and midway to the Lake Myvatn. We walk along the banks of the river and on the way back to the car we have a change to stop at a local shop for refreshments. At arrival at Nature reserve Myvatn the first stop is at the spectacular formation of pseudo craters that dominate the landscape by the lake. Next stop is Dimmuborgir; the Lava park where we walk through the spectacular troll like formation of lava pillars. We can grab lunch at farm restaurant by the lake or pick something up at a local shop. We visit Grjótagjá fissure: half hidden open cave pool right on the rift zone. We drive over to bubbling hot spring area Namaskard where you can walk in other worldly lunar-like landscape among the sulphur mud-pots. We end the day at Myvatn Nature baths (optional) . The alkaline, mineral-rich waters are well-suited for a relaxing and rejuvenating soak and enjoy a drink at the bar in the lagoon.
