Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Board your motorcoach at the pier and drive through town, taking the coastal road towards Godafoss Waterfall. Travel through the fertile farmland of the Fnjoskadalur Valley en route to your first attraction.

In the year 1000 the Lawspeaker Thorgeir Thorkelsson made Christianity the official religion of Iceland. After his conversion Thorgeir threw his statues of the Norse gods into the waterfall.

Next, we´ll stop for a short refreshment break at a local restaurant.

Head to Dimmuborgir, which means "twilight castles," where you'll see weirdly-shaped lava formations that were left exposed in the bed as this former lava lake cooled and receded.

Continuing on to Namaskard, you'll witness boiling hot mud pools that roar and let out dense vapors, cloaking the hot sulfur pits at one of the most active volcanic areas on Iceland.

Afterwards, you'll re-board the motorcoach and head back to Akureyri for a brief tour of the town. If time allows, you'll pause along a scenic coastal road for a panoramic view of the town and its harbor before heading back to the ship.
