Iceland
Lake Myvatn
This volcanic lake is surrounded by a variety of unusual natural formations, including rocky outcrops featured in Game of Thrones.
About
Lake Myvatn formed about 2300 years ago following a massive volcanic eruption. Its name literally translates to ‘Midge Lake’, for the dense swarms of the insects found here during the summer. These in turn support a wide variety of waterfowl, including thirteen species of ducks, and many other rare birds, making the lake a favourite destination for bird lovers. For many, it’s the lake’s volcanic features that are the highlight for many visitors. Iceland is famous for its hot spring baths, and the Myvatn Nature Baths offer a less-crowded but equally-beautiful alternative to the popular Blue Lagoon. Also near the lake are the Hverarond sulphur springs, which, while a bit smelly, create an interestingly colored, bubbling landscape. The dramatic rock formations of Dimmuborgir resemble a natural fortress, and served as the wildling camp in Game of Thrones. Near the lake, the Grjótagjá geothermal cave was also featured in Game of Thrones as Jon Snow and Ygritte’s love nest.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
