    Overview

    Goðafoss, the Lake Mývatn area and Dettifoss in one eight-hour day tour, with an optional Forest Lagoon soak on the return to Akureyri.

    The first stop is Goðafoss, followed by the Lake Mývatn area and the Dimmuborgir lava maze, then a break for refreshments at a local restaurant and the drive on to Dettifoss, where a short walk leads to a second waterfall nearby. Transport and a guide are included.

    The refreshment stop is paid for separately, as is entry to the Forest Lagoon if guests take the optional stop on the way back into Akureyri. Good shoes, a jacket, and a hat and gloves in the colder months are advised.
