Lake Mývatn Tour Showcases Volcanoes, Waterfalls and Geothermal Wonders of North Iceland


A full-day guided excursion in North Iceland is offering travellers an in-depth journey through the Lake Mývatn region, one of the country’s most geologically active and visually striking landscapes. The tour begins with a scenic drive along Eyjafjörður, a long fjord framed by mountains and coastal views, before reaching the iconic Goðafoss waterfall.


The itinerary continues into the Lake Mývatn area, formed by a massive basaltic lava eruption over 2,300 years ago. Visitors encounter a dramatic terrain shaped by volcanic forces, including lava pillars, pseudocraters and extensive fields of hardened lava that define the region’s unique character.


Key stops along the route include Grjótagjá cave, the steaming geothermal fields of Hverarönd in Námaskarð, and the distinctive lava formations of Dimmuborgir. The Skútustaðagígar pseudocrater area offers additional insight into volcanic processes that continue to shape Iceland’s landscape.


The return journey features a panoramic viewpoint over Eyjafjörður toward Akureyri, followed by optional relaxation at the Mývatn Nature Baths or a visit to the Kvika restaurant. With its blend of geothermal activity, geological exploration and leisure time, the tour presents a comprehensive experience of North Iceland’s natural wonders.

A wonderful geothermal experience at the Mývatn Nature Baths, also known as the Earth Lagoon. Advance booking is highly recommended due to limited slot availability. The artificially heated mineralized water pools are soothing and help rejuvenate the body after a long day of travel. Entry costs 7,500 ISK per person for a 3-hour session, which feels reasonable for the relaxing atmosphere. The poolside bar adds a touch of luxury, while the dining area offers tasty and affordable food (not included in the entry price). The pools are quite shallow, so be prepared to squat or sit low in the water. Don’t miss leaning along the pool edges to take in the stunning surrounding views — a perfect blend of comfort and Icelandic beauty.
