Godafoss

Our journey takes us to Goðafoss, one of North Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. This wide, horseshoe-shaped cascade is both a natural marvel and a site of deep historical importance. According to the sagas, in the year 1000, Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði cast his pagan idols into the falls after declaring Christianity Iceland’s official religion—earning it the name “Waterfall of the Gods.” Walking paths on both sides offer fantastic views and photo opportunities of the powerful waters tumbling over ancient lava rock. It’s a place where legend, landscape, and beauty meet.

Lake Myvatn

Explore the otherworldly landscapes of Lake Mývatn, one of Iceland’s most geologically diverse regions. Formed by volcanic activity over 2,000 years ago, this area offers a rich mix of natural wonders and quiet beauty. We’ll visit the Skútustaðagígar pseudocraters, formed by steam explosions, then walk among the eerie lava pillars of Dimmuborgir, a place steeped in folklore. At Grjótagjá, peer into a hidden geothermal cave once used for bathing—now famous from Game of Thrones. Next, experience the raw power of the Earth at Hverir, a steaming, sulfur-rich geothermal field beneath Mt. Námafjall. Bubbling mud pots, fumaroles, and mineral-streaked hills paint a surreal landscape. Lake Mývatn’s mix of serenity and volcanic drama makes it a highlight of the North—an unforgettable window into Iceland’s primal forces.
