Embark on a captivating 6-hour journey from Akureyri to the heart of North Iceland’s natural wonders with this Goðafoss Waterfall & Mývatn Nature Baths Tour. This shore excursion offers a seamless blend of geological marvels and soothing geothermal experiences.

Your adventure commences at the Akureyri Cruise Terminal, where you’ll board a comfortable coach for a scenic drive along the picturesque Eyjafjörður fjord.
The first stop is the iconic Goðafoss Waterfall, renowned for its crescent-shaped cascade and historical significance. Legend has it that in the year 1000 AD, Iceland’s Lawspeaker, Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði, cast his pagan idols into the falls, marking Iceland’s conversion to Christianity.

Next, journey to Lake Mývatn, a region shaped by ancient volcanic eruptions approximately 2,300 years ago. The area is dotted with unique geological formations, including the famed pseudo-craters of Skútustaðagígar. These formations, created by steam explosions during lava flows, present an otherworldly landscape perfect for exploration and photography. The lake’s rich biodiversity also makes it a haven for birdwatchers.

The tour culminates at the Mývatn Nature Baths, often referred to as the “Blue Lagoon of the North.” Here, you can unwind in warm, mineral-rich waters surrounded by stunning volcanic landscapes. The naturally heated pools and steam baths are reputed to have healing properties, offering a rejuvenating experience amidst breathtaking views.
Your adventure ends back in Akureyri, with a convenient drop-off at the cruise terminal.
