Lake Mývatn, Goðafoss and Nature Baths
Feel free to contact us
Description
A Lake Mývatn tour with Goðafoss, geothermal landscapes and time for warm North Iceland bathing when included in the route. The geothermal bathing element makes the day feel less rushed and more memorable, especially after the lava fields and waterfall stops.
The appeal is balance. You get the natural highlights of the Mývatn area, then a chance to slow down in warm geothermal water if the bathing stop is part of your booked route. Bring swimwear and a towel so you are ready for the pool.
Itinerary
Mývatn Nature Baths
Geothermal bathing
Mývatn Nature Baths offer warm geothermal water, open views and a more northern, relaxed alternative to the famous bathing spots near Reykjavík. Bring swimwear and a towel if your tour includes time to bathe.
Lake Mývatn
Volcanic lake and birdlife
Lake Mývatn is the heart of the region: a volcanic lake surrounded by lava fields, pseudocraters, birdlife and geothermal landscapes. The area feels completely different from the south and west of Iceland, which is exactly why it is worth the journey.
Goðafoss
Waterfall of the Gods
Goðafoss is one of North Iceland's most beautiful waterfalls, where wide glacial water drops into a horseshoe-shaped canyon. It is a powerful first impression of the Diamond Circle and a classic stop between Akureyri and Lake Mývatn.
Dimmuborgir
Lava castles
Dimmuborgir is a maze of dark lava pillars and strange rock formations. It gives the tour a dramatic, almost mythical landscape and is one of the best places to understand the volcanic character of Mývatn.
