Kryssningstur Godafoss och Myvatn Lake och Dettifoss Small Group
Beskrivning
Vår resa tar oss längs Eyjafjörður, en av Islands längsta fjordar, till vår första destination, vattenfallet Goðafoss, som har stor betydelse i Islands historia. Därefter kommer vi att utforska skönheten i sjön Mývatn, där vi kan uppskatta fantastiska sevärdheter som Skútustaðagígar, även känd som pseudokratrar. Detta unika fenomen kan bara hittas på ett fåtal platser runt om i världen, inklusive Island, Hawaii, en på Azorerna och till och med på planeten Mars. Dessutom besöker vi Dimmuborgir, ett område med extraordinära lavaformationer. Vi fortsätter sedan till det geotermiska området Hverir, där många rykande fumaroler och kokande lerkrukor kan observeras. Efter Hverir kommer vi att resa cirka 40 minuter för att se Dettifoss, ett av de mäktigaste vattenfallen i Europa. Vi kommer att ha möjlighet att besöka den förtrollande Grjótagjá-grottan för att beundra den varma blå floden. Den äventyrliga kan till och med ta ett foto stående på två tektoniska plattor.

Resplan
Vårt första stopp blir Goðafoss vattenfall även känt som gudarnas vattenfall. Attraktionen ligger mindre än 5 minuter från en parkeringsplats. Det finns även en liten butik och gratis toalett i närheten.
Detta stopp kallas pseudokratrar, b vackra lavaformationer vid Myvatnsjön. Det är en unik plats som bara kan ses på ett fåtal platser på jorden. Attraktionen ligger bredvid parkeringen. I närheten finns en liten butik, besökscenter och gratis toaletter.
Vackra och unika lavaformationer. Denna plats var en sjö förr innan lavan förstörde den. Nu kan du gå på sjöns botten och njuta av lavaformationer. På denna plats kommer vi att göra en liten vandring, men det finns också möjlighet att bo i en liten restaurang/butik och njuta av utsikten från ovan. Toalett är gratis om du ska köpa något i restaurangen.
En annan unik plats - ett hett blått geotermiskt vatten som rinner i grottan mellan två tektoniska plattor. Det är möjligt att gå in i grottan och utforska gamla geotermiska bad. Du kan också stå mellan två tektoniska plattor: eurasiska och nordamerikanska och se den stora sprickan som löper längs det isländska landet.
En plats där det grunda grundvattnet som rinner intill Krafla-vulkansystemet värms upp och stiger till ytan. Du kan se ångventiler, varma bubblande lerkrukor och massor av färgglada mineralfläckar på marken. Det finns en svavelhaltig lukt i området, liknande lukten av ruttna ägg.
Det kraftigaste vattenfallet i Europa i volym. Du kan känna att det är full kraft på försommaren när all snö som omger bergen smälter. På denna plats kommer vi att göra en liten vandring från parkeringen. På vägen kan vi även se ett annat vattenfall som heter Selfoss.
Ett kort stopp innan vägen tillbaka till Akureyri. Du kan se Nature Myvatn Baths, använda den kostnadsfria toaletten och köpa ett mellanmål i butiken.

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.
