Hiking up a volcano, riding in lava fields and soothing in a nature bath. A wonderful day for people who love hiking and being close to nature! We hike up to a volcano called Hverfjall and around the crater rim. Enjoy a splendid view over the Myvatn Nature Reserve, right on the rift zone between the North- American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Experience what it is to be with one foot on each continent! We extend the hike for those eager for more challenge to the Dimmuborgir Lava park, where there is a selection of hiking trails to choose from. Optional on this tour is to add in a horseback - riding tour by the lake. We finish the day with a relaxing soak in a thermal bath of your choice; either Jarðböðin; right there in Myvatn area with beautiful view over the lake, or Skogarböðin; overlooking Akureyri fjord - Eyjafjörður - - the longest fjord in Iceland. Skogarböðin. Both wonderful and relaxing thermal baths.
We drive from Akureyri town towards Myvatn lake Nature reserve. The drive is about 1 hour and on the way we enjoy the absolutely stunning scenery of post-glacial, U-shaped valleys and one of Iceland's most beautiful waterfall; Goðafoss. We drive straight to Hverfjall - volcanic crater. Hverfjall is one of Iceland's most beautiful and symmetrical explosion craters, besides being one of the largest of its kind in the world. It is estimated that the crater was created during a volcanic explosion likely around 2800 - 2900 years ago. The hike up the crater can take 1 - 1. 5 hours - depending on speed and conditions. We can extend the hike into the Lava park Dimmuborgir. It is optional on this tour to enjoy a soak in a Nature Bath and/or challenge yourself with more activity by going horseback-riding with local farmers on absolutely breathtaking beautiful trails around the pseudo-craters and in the lava fields around the lake. We head back to Akureyri in late afternoon - depending on your requested activity.
