About the Activity

What to Expect

Prepare to experience two of Iceland's most breathtaking wonders on our minibus tour to Lake Mývatn and the mighty Dettifoss Waterfall. As we set off along the coast of Eyjafjordur, one of Iceland's longest fjords, prepare to be mesmerized by the stunning views of the landscape. Our first stop is the majestic Goðafoss Waterfall, often called the "Waterfall of the Gods" for its impressive cascade that splits into two streams, creating a picturesque sight worthy of admiration.

At Lake Mývatn, marvel at the unique volcanic landforms created by a basaltic lava eruption 2300 years ago, including impressive lava pillars and rootless vents. This area is a geological wonderland, offering a glimpse into the earth's fiery past. We will stop at the hot spring area at Hverarönd in Námaskarð, where you can witness boiling mud pots and steaming fumaroles, adding an otherworldly touch to the landscape. Then, we will reach the awe-inspiring Dettifoss Waterfall, Europe's most powerful waterfall, known for its thundering roar and misty spray that captivates the senses.

On our return, we explore the distinctive lava formations of Dimmuborgir and the captivating pseudocraters at Skútustaðagígar. These formations are not only visually striking, but also hold fascinating stories of their creation. Our final stop is back at Eyjafjordur, offering a breathtaking view over the fjord to Akureyri, perfect for capturing that last memorable photo. This tour is ideal for nature enthusiasts and anyone eager to explore Iceland's dramatic landscapes.
