Sightseeing  :  Iceland  :  Northeast  :  Akureyri  :  Day Trips

Hop on a 4x4 jeep tour that takes you along the route of Goðafoss waterfall, pseudo crater areas and the Mývatn Nature baths, the blue lagoon of the North.First we drive along the coast of Eyjafjordur, one of the longest fjords in Iceland. We begin by stopping at Goðafoss waterfall, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland, on our way to Lake Mývatn. The lake was created by a large basaltic lava eruption 2300 years ago, and the surrounding landscape is dominated by volcanic landforms, including lava pillars and rootless vents. We stop in the Nature baths where you get the chance to relax in the steam baths and bathe in the geothermal water. You can also take a massage in the baths. On the way back we come to the unique lava formations of Dimmuborgir which are among the most popular tourist attractions in the Lake Myvatn area, we stop also in Skútustaðagígar (pseudo crater area). Our last stop is in Eyjafjordur where you can see over the fjord to Akureyri and take a great photo shot.
