Itinerary
Mývatn Nature Baths
Warm geothermal water beneath northern skies
Ease into mineral-rich geothermal water with broad views across lava fields and the Lake Mývatn landscape. The warm blue pools create a beautifully relaxed contrast to the day’s waterfalls and volcanic terrain, turning a sightseeing route into a complete North Iceland experience when admission is included in the selected booking.
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 beauty, power and one of Iceland’s defining conversion-era stories, making it far more than a roadside waterfall and a magnificent gateway to the Lake Mývatn region.
Dimmuborgir
Lava castles, arches and Icelandic legends
Enter a labyrinth of lava towers, caves, arches and natural bridges left behind when a lava lake drained away more than two thousand years ago. The formations feel like a ruined fortress, while stories of trolls, hidden people and Iceland’s Yule Lads add a playful layer of folklore to the volcanic drama.
Lake Mývatn
A volcanic lake alive with colour and birdlife
Shallow blue water, green wetlands, black lava and crater-shaped hills meet around Lake Mývatn, creating one of Iceland’s richest volcanic landscapes. The lake is internationally celebrated for birdlife, yet its greatest appeal is the constantly changing contrast between water, lava and open northern sky.
