- Dimmuborgir (Dark castle), is a unusually dark and rough lava field which contains many volcanic caves and strange lava formations such as “The Church”, sometimes also referred to as the catacombs of hell.

- Sigurgeir Bird Museum, a visit to a very interesting bird museum where stuffed specimens of all Icelandic birds can be seen.
-Hverir has countless of hot mud springs and steam vents in widely different colours.
- The natural Geyser bread "bakery", we stop and look at how the locals bake their own very special Geyser bread.
- Grjótagjá, is a small lava cave under the fissure between the European and American tectonic plates near lake Mývatn with a thermal spring inside.
- Vogafjós, a unique cow shed restaurant where you can sit down and enjoy a wonderful dinner made from the farms own ingredients while observing the life cows trough glass windows.
- Mývatn Nature Bath, take a relaxing bath in the healthy natural silica water, a perfect way to end an eventful day as this.
- Northern light hunt, if the conditions are favourable then we will try our best to turn on and hunt down the Northern Lights on our way back to Akureyri.
