Lake Mývatn and its stunning surroundings are a must-see when exploring North Iceland! This Lake Mývatn with Nature Baths tour combines spectacular natural wonders with the relaxing experience of Iceland’s geothermal waters.
We begin our adventure by driving along the picturesque coast of Eyjafjordur, one of the longest fjords in Iceland. Our first stop is the breathtaking Goðafoss Waterfall, known as one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the country. Continuing our journey, we head towards Lake Mývatn, a volcanic lake created by a massive basaltic lava eruption 2300 years ago. The surrounding landscape is dominated by volcanic landforms, including lava pillars and rootless vents.
Along the way, we’ll visit Grjótagjá Cave, a fascinating small cave with a thermal spring inside, and then stop at the geothermal Hverarönd hot spring area in Námaskarð. We’ll also spend some time at the Nature Baths, where you can unwind and relax in the soothing geothermal waters. Take the opportunity to enjoy the steam baths or treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage.
As we make our way back, we’ll visit the striking Dimmuborgir lava formations, one of the most popular attractions in the Lake Mývatn area. We’ll also stop at Skútustaðagígar, known for its pseudo craters, creating unique landscapes to explore.
The tour concludes with a stop in Eyjafjordur, where you can enjoy a scenic view across the fjord to Akureyri and capture the perfect photo.
