Tour in crociera Godafoss e il lago Myvatn e Dettifoss per piccoli gruppi
Descrizione
Il nostro viaggio ci porta lungo Eyjafjörður, uno dei fiordi più lunghi d'Islanda, fino alla nostra prima destinazione, la cascata Goðafoss, che riveste un grande significato nella storia dell'Islanda. Successivamente esploreremo la bellezza del Lago Mývatn, dove potremo apprezzare luoghi meravigliosi come Skútustaðagígar, noti anche come pseudo crateri. Questo fenomeno unico può essere trovato solo in alcuni posti in tutto il mondo, tra cui l'Islanda, le Hawaii, uno nelle Azzorre e persino sul pianeta Marte. Inoltre visiteremo Dimmuborgir, un'area di straordinarie formazioni laviche. Proseguiremo poi verso l'area geotermica di Hverir, dove si possono osservare numerose fumarole fumanti e vasi di fango bollente. Dopo Hverir, viaggeremo per circa 40 minuti per vedere Dettifoss, una delle cascate più potenti d'Europa. Avremo l'opportunità di visitare l'incantevole grotta Grjótagjá per ammirare il caldo fiume blu. I più avventurosi possono anche scattare una foto stando su due placche tettoniche.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
La nostra prima tappa sarà la cascata Goðafoss conosciuta anche come cascata degli dei. L'attrazione è a meno di 5 minuti da un parcheggio. C'è anche un piccolo negozio e un bagno gratuito nelle vicinanze.
Questa fermata si chiama pseudocrateri, bellissime formazioni laviche sul lago Myvatn. È un posto unico che può essere visto solo in pochi posti sulla terra. L'attrazione è accanto al parcheggio. Nelle vicinanze c'è un piccolo negozio, un centro visitatori e servizi igienici gratuiti.
Formazioni laviche bellissime e uniche. Questo posto in passato era un lago, prima che la lava lo distruggesse. Ora puoi camminare sul fondo del lago e ammirare le formazioni laviche. In questo luogo faremo una piccola escursione, ma c'è anche la possibilità di soggiornare in un piccolo ristorante/negozio e goderci la vista dall'alto. La toilette è gratuita se comprerai qualcosa al ristorante.
Un altro posto unico: l'acqua geotermica blu calda che scorre nella grotta tra due placche tettoniche. È possibile entrare nella grotta ed esplorare antichi bagni geotermici. Puoi anche stare tra due placche tettoniche: quella eurasiatica e quella nordamericana e vedere la grande fessura che corre lungo il paese islandese.
Un luogo dove le acque sotterranee poco profonde che scorrono vicino al sistema vulcanico Krafla vengono riscaldate e salgono in superficie. Puoi vedere sfiati di vapore, vasi di fango caldi e gorgoglianti e molte macchie minerali colorate sul terreno. Nella zona c'è un odore di zolfo, simile all'odore delle uova marce.
La cascata più potente d'Europa in volume. Puoi sentire la sua piena potenza all'inizio dell'estate quando tutta la neve circostante dalle montagne si sta sciogliendo. In questo luogo faremo una piccola escursione dal parcheggio. Lungo il percorso possiamo vedere anche un'altra cascata chiamata Selfoss.
Una breve sosta prima della strada del ritorno ad Akureyri. Puoi vedere i bagni Nature Myvatn, utilizzare la toilette gratuita e acquistare uno spuntino nel negozio.

It’s a full day’s adventure. We got to visit 6 different, amazing places. The vehicle was a comfortable 12 seater for our group of 10. We had sufficient time to hike to the two most famous waterfalls in the north: Goðafoss and Dettifoss, taking pictures and videos. We got so close to the falls that the rain jacket was covered by tiny water beads coming down from the waterfall spray! We also visited the geothermal pools, got to stand on the fault line where North America and Eurasia tectonic plates meet, and walked up to the “fake volcanos” next to Lake Mývatn. It was a full 8 hours tour, really long but worth every minute of it. Our guide Lillian(?) is a great young guide and driver, giving us a lot of history and culture information while she was driving us from point to point. We got to know the lives of local Icelanders and farmers a bit and that was really interesting to learn. One thing to remember - the lake Mývatn is known to locals as the Midget Lake. This tiny flies were very annoying and like to swarm around people. A hat with nets (like one the bee keepers wear) might come in handy! I would highly recommend the tour!
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!
