Heldags Lake Myvatn Classic-tur
Beskrivelse
Vores guider er fuldt kvalificerede og har omfattende viden om Lake Myvatn-området. Ikke alene vil du lære om historien, landskabet og nutidens liv, på denne tur vil du også høre om islandske folkeslag, humor og kultur. Dette er en samlet 6 - 7 timers tur gennem nogle af de mest maleriske landskaber i Nordisland. Al rejsetid er inkluderet i denne længde. Efter omkring 35 minutters kørsel fra Akureyri kommer vi til det smukke vandfald Goðafoss. Vi stopper her for en god tid for dig at nyde landskabet, før vi fortsætter vores kørsel til Lake Myvatn. Efter omkring 30 minutters kørsel fra vandfaldet kommer vi til Lake Myvatn selv og vores første stop er på Skutustadir, Psuedo kratere. Vi bliver derefter i området i omkring 3 timer med mange forskellige stop i løbet af dagen som på Dimmuborgir lava felt, og Namaskard fumerols. I slutningen af dagen kører vi i en time og 15 minutter tilbage til Akureyri.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Efter omkring 35 minutters kørsel fra Akureyri kommer vi til Godafoss, et af Islands smukkeste og mest unikt formede vandfald. Her fortæller vi dig, hvorfor vandfaldene er vigtige i islandsk historie og giver dig tid nok til at udforske området tæt på.
Skútustaðagígar er helt klart en af de islandske perler. Et af vartegnene i Lake Myvatn-området er disse unikke og smukt dannede kratere. De kaldes pseudokratere, da de ikke er forårsaget af selve eksplosionen af vulkaner, men vores guide vil fortælle dig alt om dem.
Vi tager os tid til at køre rundt om søen i løbet af dagen og besøge mange forskellige steder. Dimmuborgir er et unikt og meget interessant område. Besøgende får tid til at gå blandt de usædvanlige lavaskulpturer, søjler og huler. Vores guider ved alt om dette område og vil gerne gå med dig for at forklare, hvordan området blev til for 2.500 år siden, samt fortælle dig et par folkeeventyr om de lokale trolde.
Hverir er et geotermisk område ved foden af Namaskard nær Myvatn-søen. Funktionerne omfatter farverige svovlmuddergrave, dampventiler, revnet mudder og fumaroler. Dette område er farverigt, mystisk og ekstremt smukt...men en smule ildelugtende af al svovl

We were very pleased with our tour to the volcanic wonders and Godafoss waterfall provided by this vendor. We visited Akureyri on a cruise ship stop and this tour provided more than the cruise tour would have at a lower cost.
Our tour was spectacular!! The sights were unlike any encountered in years of travel. Lily our guide clearly articulated directions , meeting points and times. On the ride into the mountains and back she told us stories, historical facts and even brought details of how native Icelanders live, eat and find entertainment. She is a gem.
Very interesting tour to waterfall, geo thermal activity (steam vents etc) lava rock and fissures from shifting continental plates plus lake myavtn Lilja the tour guide was excellent as she is a local with detailed insights into Icelandic culture and the local area/sights. Coach was comfortable and driver was a good safe driver. Take some insect repellent for midgies.
Excelent tour, the bus picked us at the ship dock (despite changed docking due to weather conditions) and also leaved us there at the end of the tour. The guide Juliana was eceptional, she shared a lot of very interesting islandic stories and facts. There was a lot of stops and enough time to see so many extraordinary scenes. Really good organization, bus driver Oscar and tour guide Juliana were amazing.
Really enjoyed this trip , we got to see everything as detailed in the itinerary with extra short stops for photos , great driver and host , comfortable bus , would recommend . Be aware some of the stops charged for use of toilets and we found midge nets very useful
We booked this tour last minute when another tour company had to cancel and we were very pleased with the tour guide, itinerary and bus driver. Designed for cruise ship passengers - pickup and drop off was near the pier and return was carefully timed for our ship’s departure time. The itinerary covered all the highlights of the area. We especially enjoyed the Godafoss Falls and Dimmuborgir. Fortunately the midges (bugs) were minimal at Lake Myvatn because it was breezy and cool. We brought head net coverings but didn’t need to use them. There were enough midges that I can see how annoying they would be on a warmer, calm day. Guide was informative. Would recommend this tour. It was a much lower price than similar cruise ship excursions.
Great guide beautiful scenery amazing history our guide was extremely informative and helpful we learned a lot and saw a lot in our time there
Great tour to see Lake Myvatn! Our tour guide, Lilja (sp?), was fantastic and showed us all of the highlights in the Lake Myvatn area. She provided interesting information both at the stops and in the car rides in between. She was extremely patient with our tour group (~7 people), even when some of the guests weren't as cooperative. The tour started at 9 am in the morning and ended at around 4:30 pm for us as we decided to leave the tour at the Forest Lagoon stop. For those that aren't interested in the Forest Lagoon, she dropped them off at their pick-up locations. For those that are visiting the Forest Lagoon, they offer a free shuttle back to Akureyri center. They market this as a pick-up service, but they're happy to drop off guests if they're already at the Forest Lagoon as well.
Thank you for you so much for this. we are happy that we could make your day a good one. 😊
The tour was absolutely amazing. Our driver and guide, Lilja, was incredibly attentive and accommodating. When we realized there had been a miscommunication about the pick-up time, she went all the way to the airport to pick up my friend on the day she landed so we could still join the tour together. We were truly grateful for her extra effort. It was a beautiful day, and the sights were breathtaking: a great variety of locations and very well paced. Along the way, Lilja shared many interesting stories and insights, and constantly made sure everyone was comfortable. Highly recommended! A wonderful experience from start to finish.
Thank you for your kind words. They warm our hearts. Team Traveling Viking
Fantastic experience and very knowledgeable and humorous guide. Inga went above and beyond with the 8 ‘Travelling Geriatrics’ on both trips we did with him. He even rang us to tell us that there was Aura activity down on the harbour where we were staying! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
