Guided side-by-side ATV safari around Lake Mývatn with helmets and overalls, a safety briefing, and off-road exploration in small groups.

“L’attività non corrisponde assolutamente alla descrizione. Si percorre per chilometri un paesaggio privo di vegetazione senza alcun panorama interessante. Il prezzo è davvero esagerato rispetto all’esperienza descritta. La guida simpatica e attrezzatura idonea ma purtroppo la gira totalmente insoddisfacente Sconsigliato”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 14 reviews · 7 hours · from $223

Guided day trip from Akureyri to Lake Myvatn and Goðafoss, with Eyjafjörður views and a stop at Myvatn Nature Baths.

“A pleasant tour with beautiful scenery, although disappointing changes on the day. Entry to the lagoon was not included (as it had been on previous tours), and the lagoon visit was changed due to refurbishment without prior notice, had we known earlier, we would have cancelled and visited Goðafoss independently. The bus heating also wasn’t working, which made the journey uncomfortable.”

Guided Lake Mývatn geothermal sights, baths option, Goðafoss and Dimmuborgir, plus Northern Lights hunting from Akureyri.

Great lights show and the lake trip was excellent with lots of interesting stops never feeling rushed and plenty of time to explore. The baths were closed for refurbishment so drive 45 mins for an alternative we opted to not do this as been in the forest lagoon the evening prior, but sigi dropped us in a local town to explore whilst others visited the baths.”
