Itinerary
Akureyri port
Italian-guided departure into North Iceland
Meet at the exact harbour point shown on your voucher and begin the scenic journey from Eyjafjörður. Italian-language guiding adds stories and context as the road crosses green valleys towards the volcanic world around Lake Mývatn.
Goðafoss
The spectacular Waterfall of the Gods
Watch glacial water sweep across a broad horseshoe of dark rock before dropping in a brilliant white curtain. Goðafoss combines power, beauty and one of Iceland’s defining historical stories, making it a magnificent gateway to the region.
Lake Mývatn
Water, lava and open northern skies
Discover a volcanic lake surrounded by wetlands, crater-shaped hills and sculpted lava. The scenery changes constantly as blue water, green shores and black rock meet, creating the rich contrasts that make Lake Mývatn one of the north’s most rewarding landscapes.
Dimmuborgir
Lava castles and legendary formations
Walk between lava towers, arches and caves formed when an ancient lava lake drained away. The maze resembles a ruined fortress and carries stories of trolls and Yule Lads, blending remarkable geology with the playful folklore of North Iceland.
Hverir
A geothermal palette of steam and mineral colour
Step onto a vivid plain of hissing fumaroles, restless mud pots and ochre earth beneath Námafjall. The sounds, sulphur, steam and barren slopes reveal the volcanic heat still working close beneath the surface.
Return to Akureyri port
A memorable shore day completed with care
Travel back through the northern landscape while the guide manages timing around the confirmed ship schedule. The return provides time to revisit the day’s stories before arrival at the port meeting area specified for your departure.
