Super Jeep along the mountain desert tracks of Kokulsa Canyon National Park taking in bubbling mud pools and steaming craters by the Krafla volcano.

SNOWMOBILE TRIPS

£60 pp (£25 sole driver supplement).*

Zoom across Lake Myvatn’s frozen surface with its sculpted lava formations and icebound islands or along a wilderness trail deep into the Highlands, whichever takes your fancy.

Novices can soak up the silent beauty of Lake Myvatn whilst experienced riders can take in steaming lunar landscapes, bubbling mud pools and lava snow fields.

HORSE RIDING

£30 pp.

The Icelandic horse’s unique fifth gait the ‘tolt’ makes it one of the most comfortable equine rides in the world. An ideal way to enjoy the countryside, even if you’ve never been on horseback before.

NORTHERN LIGHTS HUNT

£30 pp.*

Take a trip out to a local vantage point to spot for the Northern Lights at their best. Light refreshments included.

NATURE BATHS

£15 pp.

Rapidly giving the Blue Lagoon a run for its money, the Myvatn Nature Baths with their view of the surrounding landscape are, with the Northern Lights above you, quite fantastic.

 

HIKING

£35 pp.

Take a guided hike along the mountainous eastern rim of the Lake Myvatn basin, the Námaskard mud pools, the lunar crater of Hverfjall and atmospheric troll-like lava formations of Dimmuborgír. Choice of duration.
