Full description

Benefit from pick-up from your cruise ship in Akureyri Port, and then drive to Lake Mývatn and the surrounding wetlands area near Krafla volcano. Stop at Goðafoss waterfall and hear about its important role in the history of Iceland. Continue to the pseudo craters of Skútustaðagígar, formed when hot flowing lava met with ice-cold water from the lake. See the lava fields of Dimmuborgir, rich in mythical sagas and stunning to look at for the lava pillars and rock formations.   Discover the thermal waters of an underground river at Grjotagja, where you will stand on the continental rift between Europe and America.

End with a look at the boiling mud pools of Hverir and gaze in awe at the steaming fumaroles and sulfur pits. Return to Akureyri Port at least 1 hour before your ship’s departure for the end of the tour services.

The Local Guide was Great! Tour was great but did not appreciate the non biting bugs at the lake! Enjoyed the trip to the bird museum and opportunity to have a quick home cooked lunch. Our cruise ship changed departure time and this company accommodated changed. Highly recommend.

Paul was an excellent guide giving us all a well balanced tour of this area with a good amount of relevant information without overloading us. We were fortunate that we had our best day of weather on our cruise and we made the most of it enjoying the incredible views from the mighty Godfoss falls, geyser's and lava fields to the panama's around each bend in the road.

This tour was excellent as was our driver & guide Dabba. We had a small group of 14 which meant that we had plenty of time at each destination as we didn't have to always wait for 40 or 50 people to get on & off the bus. Dabba was informative, professional & very friendly. This tour exceeded our expectations, we visited everything listed plus more. Would definitely recommend.
