The Grapevine's take

Earth Lagoon

Earth Lagoon is a smaller, quieter version of the Blue Lagoon, with silky white water that seems to coat your skin with geothermal goodness. It’s a bit more expensive than your average municipal pool, but it’s an experience that’s worth it, and it makes for a scenic and relaxing final stop after a drive around Mývatn or the Diamond Circle.

On The Reykjavík Grapevine's Best of list. See the whole list.

About this tour

Lake Mývatn and the surrounding area is a must see when exploring the north of Iceland!

Join the Fox Adventure team on this tour and experience Lake Mývatn, considered one of the most beautiful places in Iceland. The area offers a diverse landscape every few kilometers, formed by a massive eruption of basaltic lava 2300 years ago, resulting in a landscape dominated by volcanic landforms. Because of its breathtaking beauty, the creators of Game of Thrones chose this location to film many scenes.

Our journey takes us along Eyjafjörður, one of Iceland's longest fjords, to our first destination, the Goðafoss waterfall, which holds great significance in Iceland's history. If we are fortunate, we may witness a rainbow and our guide will provide guidance on capturing the best photos.

Next, we will explore the beauty of Lake Mývatn, where we can appreciate stunning sights such as Skútustaðagígar, also known as pseudo craters. This unique phenomenon can only be found in a few places around the world, including Iceland, Hawaii, one in the Azores, and even on the planet Mars. Additionally, we will visit Dimmuborgir, an area of extraordinary lava formations. Finally, we will have the opportunity to visit the enchanting Grjótagjá cave to admire the hot blue river. The adventurous can even take a photo standing on two tectonic plates. We will visit the Hverir geothermal area, where many smoking fumaroles and boiling mud pots can be seen. The trip will end at the Nature Mývatn Baths, where you can relax in the steam baths and bathe in the geothermal water.

If time allows, we will make a final stop at Eyjafjörður, where you can take a great photo looking across the fjord to Akureyri.

We look forward to having you on board!

This tour is also available as a regular tour.
