Breakfast buffet at the hotel.
Today, you head for Lake Myvatn, located in a very active volcanic area - the Katla Volcano is not far away. The lake's surroundings are dominated by volcanic landscapes, including lava pillars and pseudo-craters. A very popular place in these surroundings is Dimmuborgir
(Dark Châetau). Dimmuborgir is composed of several volcanic cellars and rock formations. In addition, Myvatn is known for its rich avifauna.
The next stop is at Godafoss Godfalls, before heading to Akureyri. Another day full of highlights awaits you. The Bay of Ejjafjordur has one of the best whale watching situations in the world: a chance for you to see humpback whales and Minke whales. The avifauna is also unavoidable.
Advised visit of a small fishing village not far from Dalvik and its fish factory, one of the last few in northern Iceland to import salt cod. Continue north and west of the Trollaskagi peninsula, discovering Olafsjordur, Siglufjardur and Holfos.
