Package Deal: Lake Myvatn & Godafoss Waterfall with Northern Lights hunt

North Iceland Tour Combines Goðafoss, Lake Mývatn and Northern Lights Hunt

Travellers in North Iceland are being offered a guided small-group excursion from Akureyri that showcases some of the region’s most iconic natural attractions. The journey begins with a visit to Goðafoss Waterfall, one of Iceland’s most celebrated landmarks, before continuing into the volcanic landscapes of the Lake Mývatn area.

At Lake Mývatn, visitors explore a range of geological wonders shaped by ancient eruptions and geothermal activity. Highlights include the lava formations of Dimmuborgir, the pseudocraters at Skútustaðagígar, the Grjótagjá cave and rift, and the steaming geothermal fields of Hverir, known for bubbling mud pools and vents.

The itinerary also includes time near the Mývatn Nature Baths, where guests can experience warm mineral-rich waters surrounded by dramatic lava scenery. This stop provides a calm contrast to the rugged terrain explored earlier in the day, offering relaxation in a unique volcanic setting.

As evening approaches, the tour continues with a Northern Lights hunt in remote countryside areas away from city illumination. Guided by an experienced aurora expert, guests learn Icelandic folklore and watch the winter sky for natural light displays, with sightings dependent on weather conditions but the experience designed to capture the essence of Arctic night.
