Private 5.5-Hour Lake Myvatn & Godafoss Waterfall Tour for Cruise Ships from Husavik

Discover the beauty of North Iceland during your cruise on this private Lake Myvatn and Godafoss waterfall tour from Husavik port. This thrilling 5.5-hour adventure takes travelers to some of the best attractions in the region before capping the day with a rejuvenating geothermal bath.

The fun begins when a friendly guide picks you up from Husavik port, where your cruise ship is docked. You'll then transfer to a comfortable minibus that will serve as your mode of transportation for the tour. The minibus will drive south from Husavik and cross the Bardardalur valley fjord. As you pass the fjord, you'll see beautiful views of the town, the ocean, and the surrounding mountains.

Your guide will tell you about your surroundings, and, as this is a private tour, you'll have their full attention.

You'll then arrive at your first stop: the picturesque Godafoss waterfall. One of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls, Godafoss spans a width of 100 feet (30 meters) and has a drop of about 39 feet (12 meters). Its drop creates a breathtaking semicircular cascade that's a sight to behold.

Apart from the cascade, the beauty of Godafoss waterfall is enhanced by its surroundings. Lava rock formations and lush green mosses frame the waterfall, contrasting the foaming waters. Well-maintained paths and viewing platforms on both sides allow you to see the falls from multiple angles.

After enjoying the beauty of the Godafoss waterfall, the guide will take you to the Lake Myvatn area for more breathtaking natural wonders. Measuring nearly 6 miles (9.5 kilometers) long and 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) wide, Lake Myvatn and its surroundings offer diverse geological formations, including lava pillars, pseudocraters, and hot springs.

Various natural attractions surround Lake Myvatn, such as the Dimmuborgir lava fields. The name Dimmuborgir translates to "Dark Fortress," which accurately describes the area. As you explore the area's well-marked hiking trails, you'll see towering lava pillars, twisted rock formations, and rugged caves resembling ancient fortress ruins.

Next, you'll head to the Hverir, a fascinating geothermal site near Lake Myvatn. Hverir is part of the Krafla volcanic system, which has been geothermally active for centuries. Its landscape contains bubbling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and vibrant mineral deposits.

One of the first things you'll notice while exploring the Hverir geothermal area is the smell of sulfur. Due to the high sulfur content and other minerals, you'll also see vivid shades of red, yellow, and orange. Wooden boardwalks and marked paths were placed to help you appreciate the surroundings safely.

If there's time left, the guide will take you to the Myvatn Nature Baths to cap off the tour with a relaxing geothermal bath. Often called the "Blue Lagoon of the North," the Myvatn Nature Baths provide a more peaceful and less crowded alternative to their famous southern counterpart. Moreover, the baths feature mineral-rich waters that offer soothing properties. Enjoy the breathtaking landscape of volcanic craters, lava fields, and rolling hills as you relax your mind and body.

If you're not in the mood for geothermal bathing, you can visit Grjotagja, a small lava cave known for its beautiful geothermal hot spring. The cave is also home to a rift separating the Eurasian and American continents. At the end of the tour, you'll ride the minibus back to Husavik port in time for your cruise ship's departure.
