Description

Experience the breathtaking beauty of North Iceland on this exclusive 5.5-hour private tour, perfect for cruise passengers arriving at the Husavik port. This tour is designed to provide a personalized and immersive exploration of Lake Myvatn, Godafoss waterfall, and other highlights of the region. 

Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from the Husavik cruise port, the charming harbor of Iceland's whale watching capital. The tour offers flexible starting times to accommodate your cruise schedule for a seamless experience from start to finish.

As you disembark from your cruise, your private guide will greet and escort you to your comfortable transportation. 

With a dedicated guide and vehicle, you'll enjoy a more intimate and customized experience compared to regular bus tours. You can explore at your own pace, ask questions, and focus on the sites that interest you the most.

The first highlight of the itinerary is the magnificent Godafoss waterfall, known as the "Waterfall of the Gods." This picturesque waterfall is one of Iceland's most famous because of its vast horseshoe-shaped cascade. Your guide will share the history and legends associated with Godafoss, adding depth to your visit.

Next, you'll journey to the otherworldly Lake Myvatn. This area is renowned for its unique geological features and rich birdlife. You'll have time to explore the lake's surroundings and enjoy the beautiful landscapes that make this region special.

Your tour continues to Dimmuborgir, a dramatic lava field around Myvatn with unusual rock formations and caves. Often referred to as the "Dark Castles," Dimmuborgir offers a fascinating landscape to explore, with your guide explaining the volcanic activity that shaped these remarkable structures.

The Namafjall geothermal area is another highlight, where you'll witness bubbling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and vibrant mineral deposits up close. This area, also known as Hverir, showcases the raw geothermal power beneath Iceland's surface.

Nearby is the Grjotagja cave, a small lava cave with a geothermal hot spring inside. While bathing in the cave is no longer permitted, its beauty and historical significance make it a worthwhile stop.

For those looking to add a bit of relaxation to their adventure, an optional stop at the Myvatn Nature Baths is available for an additional cost and with time permitting. These soothing geothermal baths offer a chance to unwind and soak in warm, mineral-rich waters while enjoying the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

After a day filled with incredible sights and experiences, your guide will return you to the Husavik cruise port in time for your departure.
