Lake Mývatn and Goðafoss Shore Excursion

North Iceland Small Group Tour Showcases Eyjafjord, Godafoss, and Lake Myvatn

Travelers arriving at Akureyri Port are being offered a guided small-group excursion through some of North Iceland’s most iconic natural and geothermal landscapes. The tour is conducted in a comfortable minibus and follows the scenic Eyjafjord, Iceland’s longest fjord, offering sweeping coastal and mountain views along the route.

The first major highlight is Godafoss Waterfall, famously known as the “Waterfall of the Gods,” where powerful glacial waters cascade over a wide rocky horseshoe formation. Guests are given time to stop, take photographs, and learn about the waterfall’s historical and geological significance from an experienced local guide.

The journey continues into the Lake Myvatn region, an area shaped by ancient volcanic activity and known for its striking geological diversity. Visitors explore the Hverir geothermal fields with their bubbling mud pools and steaming vents, as well as the dramatic lava formations of Dimmuborgir, often referred to as the “Dark Castles.”

Optional stops include relaxation at the Myvatn Nature Baths or a visit to the Grjótagjá cave, located along a rift between tectonic plates. With flexible pacing and expert commentary throughout, the tour combines natural wonders, geothermal activity, and cultural insight into a comprehensive Icelandic experience.
