Practical info
Tips
- Packages start at ISK 7,900 for Earth Essential, ISK 9,900 for Earth Signature and ISK 52,000 for Earth Exclusive; swimsuit rental is ISK 1,100 and towel rental ISK 1,200. The site says prices vary with the time of day and attendance, and it shows both "from 7,900" and "from 7,400" for adults on different parts of the page, so the booking calendar decides the final price. Children aged 5 and under enter free with an adult. The Myvatn Nature Baths entrance ticket is rated 4.5 out of 5 from 2,322 reviews, from €51 on 6 November 2026. The three packages differ in what is included: changing rooms, lockers and showers vary by package, and Earth Exclusive costs ISK 52,000, more than six times the Essential package. Combine the baths with Lake Mývatn, Goðafoss and Húsavík; the base town is Akureyri.
