Krydstogtstur Godafoss og Myvatn Lake og Dettifoss Small Group
Beskrivelse
Vores rejse tager os langs Eyjafjörður, en af Islands længste fjorde, til vores første destination, Goðafoss-vandfaldet, som har stor betydning i Islands historie. Dernæst vil vi udforske Mývatns skønhed, hvor vi kan værdsætte fantastiske seværdigheder som Skútustaðagígar, også kendt som pseudokratere. Dette unikke fænomen kan kun findes nogle få steder rundt om i verden, herunder Island, Hawaii, et på Azorerne og endda på planeten Mars. Derudover vil vi besøge Dimmuborgir, et område med ekstraordinære lavaformationer. Vi fortsætter derefter til Hverirs geotermiske område, hvor mange rygende fumaroler og kogende muddergryder kan observeres. Efter Hverir rejser vi cirka 40 minutter for at se Dettifoss, et af de kraftigste vandfald i Europa. Vi får mulighed for at besøge den fortryllende Grjótagjá-grotte for at beundre den varme blå flod. Den eventyrlystne kan endda tage et billede stående på to tektoniske plader.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vores første stop vil være Goðafoss-vandfaldet, også kendt som gudernes vandfald. Attraktion er mindre end 5 minutter fra en parkeringsplads. Der er også lille butik og gratis toilet i nærheden.
Dette stop kaldes pseudo-kratere, b smukke lavaformationer ved Myvatn-søen. Det er et unikt sted, som kun kan ses få steder på jorden. Attraktion er ved siden af parkeringspladsen. I nærheden ligger en lille butik, besøgscenter og gratis toiletter.
Smukke og unikke lavaformationer. Dette sted var en sø i fortiden, før lava ødelagde den. Nu kan du gå på søens bund og nyde lavaformationer. På dette sted tager vi en lille vandretur, men der er også mulighed for at bo i lille restaurant/butik og nyde udsigten fra oven. Toilet er gratis, hvis du vil købe noget i restauranten.
Et andet unikt sted - et varmt blåt geotermisk vand, der løber i hulen mellem to tektoniske plader. Det er muligt at gå ind i grotten og udforske gamle geotermiske bade. Du kan også stå mellem to tektoniske plader: eurasiske og nordamerikanske og se den store revne løbe langs islandsk land.
Et sted, hvor det lave grundvand, der strømmer ved siden af Krafla-vulkansystemet, opvarmes og stiger til overfladen. Du kan se dampventiler, varme boblende mudderpotter og masser af farverige mineralpletter på jorden. Der er en svovlholdig lugt i området, der ligner lugten af rådne æg.
Det kraftigste vandfald i Europa efter volumen. Du kan mærke, at det er fuld kraft i forsommeren, når al den omgivende sne fra bjergene smelter. På dette sted tager vi en lille vandretur fra parkeringspladsen. På vejen kan vi også se et andet vandfald kaldet Selfoss.
Et kort stop før vejen tilbage til Akureyri. Du kan se Nature Myvatn Baths, bruge det gratis toilet og købe en snack i butikken.

There were several stops on the tour. Particularly interesting were: Godafoss, Dettifoss, and the Lava Rocks. The guide was very friendly and helpful in giving info and answering questions. She was also very nice about taking pictures of everyone.
Fantastic day tour! Our guide took us to more stops than on the original list, including the area explaining the building of the tunnel and how they control the heat and the water. The waterfalls were breathtaking. Hint, ensure you have really good walking shoes as the jagged rocks and steep steps that make up the walk to Dettifoss are challenging - the path is not easy - and the wind whips around you. Overall, a really great experience and so many things to see!
This was a wonderful trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable about volcanos, history and iceland in general. We had a autistic child with us and we're able to bring her colapsable wheelchair with for half the excursions.
I did the Goðafoss, Mývatn Lake, and Dettifoss tour with Fox Adventures, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Our guide, Matti, went above and beyond every step of the way. Since this was a cruise tour, it started quite early. As a non-cruiser, I discovered the hard way that no cafés in Akureyri are open that early 😅. I joked about it to Matti, and just a few minutes later, he surprised me with a coffee, straight from their tour hut setup. A small gesture, but such a thoughtful and welcome one. The group I joined was fantastic, and because we made great time, we not only got to linger at all the main stops, but also made bonus stops at Víti Crater, a natural hot spring, and even enjoyed a scenic drive through Akureyri’s old town and past its highlights. As if the day wasn’t already one of the best tours I’ve ever had, Matti capped it off by noticing me walking back into town after drop-off and kindly giving me a lift. Talk about next-level hospitality. 👉 If you only do one tour in Akureyri, make it Fox Adventures - and ask for Matti. You won’t regret it!
This was a great experience, it was a smaller 20 person van and our tour guide, I believe her name was Johana, was amazing. She went out of her to help us take pictures and gave us great insight at all of our tour stops and during the drives on the way. The two waterfalls were absolutely beautiful and seeing the volcanic landscapes made it feel like we were on another planet. This tour does involve a lot of walking though at the waterfall sites so make sure to wear good trail shoes. Also, the company did an excellent job of communicating with us by e mail prior to the start of the tour to let us know exactly where to meet and we were able to beat all the large tour bus crowds at every stop we made. I highly recommend using this company for your tours in Iceland!
Our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable and accommodating. He gave us a lot of history of the area
Excellent and comprehensive tour. Our guide Tina and our driver Lena were an outstanding team. They kept us on track and by doing so, they were able to provide a couple of extra experiences beyond those listed. They were both very personable and engaging. Tina provided great commentary and education about what we were seeing both from present and historical viewpoints. Lena enhanced the dialog ensuring that we all learned everything there was to learn. The small group made for a great tour. I do want to mention that both Tina and Lena went out of their way to ensure our comfort and provided sage advice regarding accommodations for our capabilities at each of the sites visited. Excellent tour! Excellent guide! Excellent driver! Excellent day! Last word of advice: if your guide makes a recommendation, take it! The meat (lamb) soup was one of the best things I've tasted in my life!
Excellent tour with numerous stops. Very knowledge tour guide and comfortable bus. The small group size was fantastic.
Great experience through the day with lots of information about Akureyri and lots of entertainment with our guide. We had a blast while also enjoying great views and our guide was super helpful with taking our pictures and telling us what all delicious local delicacies we should try!
Just returned from a wonderful day of scenic highlights with Johanna from Fox Adventure. Particularly enjoyed the spectacular waterfalls: Godafoss, Dettifoss and Selfoss - a priority after marvelling at Gulfoss and various southern waterfalls on a previous trip - but there was much else to see with an excellent guide on a well-paced tour that allowed time for several pleasant short walks in the Icelandic nature. We weren't cruise-ship passengers but really appreciated the trip after a similar journey paid for four months in advance was scrapped by another company only a few days out.
