Eastfjords & Lake Mývatn, Iceland

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Eastfjords and Lake Mývatn are two of Iceland's most rewarding and contrasting regions, drawing travellers who want to venture beyond the Golden Circle. The Eastfjords stretch along Iceland's eastern coastline, a dramatic landscape of steep fjords, fishing villages, and mountainous terrain that sees far fewer tourists than the west, making it a favourite for those seeking raw, quiet scenery. Lake Mývatn, in the north, is a geothermally active area famous for its otherworldly lava fields, craters, hot springs, and the Mývatn Nature Baths — it's also a prime spot for birdwatching. Together, these regions offer a mix of hiking, geology, wildlife, and authentic Icelandic rural life.

Self-Launched Trekking Eastern Iceland

A self-launched version of G Adventures' six-day Eastern Iceland trek: base yourself in the tiny fishing village of Borgarfjörður eystri, hike the Stórurð boulder field, the moors around Breiðavík's golden beaches and the Brúnavík puffin coast, and day-trip by hired car to Dettifoss and the geothermal wilds of Mývatn. Instead of a CEO and private minibus you'll use the domestic Reykjavik–Egilsstaðir flight, a budget 4x4/car rental in Egilsstaðir, and a family-run guesthouse. Note that East Iceland has very limited public transport — self-drive is effectively essential here, and it's the single biggest cost driver. Costs are rough backpacker-level estimates and assume two people sharing a car and twin room; solo travellers will pay noticeably more for the car and room.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Eastfjords & Lake Mývatn, Iceland yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
