Overview of your Akureyri tour:

Our journey takes us along Eyjafjörður, one of Iceland’s longest fjords, to our first destination, the Godafoss waterfall, which holds great significance in Iceland’s history. Then we drive through the Lake Mývatn area on our way to the raw surrounding at the edge of the wilderness and visit Dettifoss, the most powerful waterfall in Europe. Next, we drive back and explore the beauty of Lake Mývatn, where we can appreciate stunning sights such as Dimmuborgir, an area of extraordinary lava formations. We visit Skútustaðagígar - Pseudo craters. This unique phenomenon can only be found in a few places around the world, including Iceland, Hawaii, one in the Azores, and even on the planet Mars. We also can see the rich birdlife of the lake, in the summertime. Then it´s time to head back to Akureyri, and take one last photostop with a fantastic wiew over the fjord and the town.
