• Godafoss - Goðafoss, known as the “Waterfall of the Gods,” is one of Iceland’s most stunning waterfalls. Its broad, horseshoe shape and powerful cascade make it a standout attraction in the North. Legend has it that the lawspeaker Þorgeir discarded pagan idols into the waterfall when Iceland embraced Christianity over a millennium ago. The water originates from Vatnajökull, Iceland’s largest glacier, and the waterfall’s color shifts from deep blue to milky glacial hues depending on the light. On sunny days, a beautiful rainbow often appears above the falls. It’s a place that exudes both power and tranquility, ideal for capturing unforgettable photos and enjoying a moment of reflection.
• Skutustaoagigar - This globally unique site features pseudocraters found only in a few locations worldwide: here in North Iceland, in Hawaii, and even on Mars. They were created when hot lava flowed into the lake, trapping water beneath. As the water rapidly turned to steam, pressure built up until it exploded through the surface, forming these crater-like structures. Unlike true craters, they were not formed by an eruption from below, but by powerful steam explosions. Today, it’s a serene area with stunning views over Lake Mývatn, perfect for a leisurely walk and photography.
• Dimmuborgir Lava Formations - Dimmuborgir, or the “Dark Fortress,” is one of Iceland’s most enchanting locations. This expansive lava field is filled with extraordinary rock formations that resemble a scene from another world, part fairy tale, part fantasy landscape. According to Icelandic folklore, this is where trolls reside, along with the famous Yule Lads, mischievous Christmas figures. As you wander through the area, you might begin to see shapes in the rocks—troll faces, creatures, animals, or even hidden figures. It all depends on your imagination. It’s a place that sparks creativity and curiosity, perfect for a leisurely walk, exploration, and capturing truly unique photos.
• Grjótagjá - Grjótagjá is a small lava cave that invites you to step inside and discover its hidden wonders—and it’s absolutely worth it. Inside, you’ll find intensely blue, hot geothermal water that appears almost unreal against the dark volcanic rock. From the outside, it may seem unassuming, but once inside, it’s a completely different experience. Right next to the cave, visible tectonic cracks allow you to stand between two continents—the North American and Eurasian plates. It’s one of the few places in the world where you can clearly observe the Earth slowly pulling apart. A brief stop, but undoubtedly one of the most unique and memorable parts of the tour.
• Namafjall Hverir - Hverir is one of North Iceland’s most unique and otherworldly locations. After just a few steps, it feels like you’ve landed on another planet, often compared to the surface of Mars. The earth’s intense colors—yellows, browns, and deep reds—blend with rising steam, smoking vents, and bubbling mud pools. The entire landscape feels alive and ever-changing, creating a truly surreal atmosphere. It’s a place that engages all your senses—the only downside is the sulfur smell, which can be quite strong on some days. But that’s precisely what reminds you of the Earth’s activity beneath your feet.
• Myvatn Nature Baths (Jardbodin vid Myvatn) - The Earth Lagoon (Mývatn Nature Baths) offers more than just a geothermal bath—it’s a moment to truly experience Iceland. The water, sourced from about 2.5 kilometers underground, is rich in minerals known for their soothing effects on the skin and body. Its milky-blue color beautifully contrasts with the raw northern landscape. The warmth of the water, the rising steam, and the surrounding silence make it easy to forget everything else. Many visitors leave feeling lighter, calmer, and sometimes even a little younger. It’s the perfect way to end the day—a moment to simply be. You can also enjoy a delicious lunch here with a view over the geothermal pools.
