Itinerary
Akureyri harbour
A North Iceland shore day begins
Meet close to the Akureyri cruise terminal and settle into a comfortable coach for a day that pairs two very different icons: one of Iceland’s most historic waterfalls and the soothing geothermal waters of the Lake Mývatn region.
Eyjafjörður drive
Fjord scenery on the road east
Travel through broad valleys and mountain-framed countryside as the guide introduces the landscapes of North Iceland. The changing views create a scenic bridge between Akureyri and the volcanic terrain surrounding Lake Mývatn.
Goðafoss
The magnificent Waterfall of the Gods
See the Skjálfandafljót River sweep across a dark horseshoe of rock in a powerful white cascade. Goðafoss is both visually spectacular and closely tied to the story of Iceland’s conversion to Christianity around the year 1000.
Lake Mývatn landscapes
Lava country, water and open horizons
Continue into a region celebrated for birdlife, volcanic formations and constantly changing views. The drive reveals why Mývatn feels unlike anywhere else in Iceland, with dark lava, bright water and distant crater shapes sharing the same panorama.
Mývatn Nature Baths
Geothermal warmth beneath northern skies
Slip into mineral-rich blue water surrounded by lava landscapes and far-reaching views. Admission is included, giving you time to float, warm up and enjoy the calm atmosphere that makes this one of North Iceland’s most appealing wellness stops.
Return to Akureyri
Relaxed travel back to the harbour
After the bath, enjoy the return drive with a sandwich, chocolate and juice included. The combination of waterfall drama and geothermal calm makes the journey back feel satisfyingly complete before arrival in Akureyri.
