Join us on a tour to the beautiful and mysterious Lake Myvatn area. A magical place were some of the series of Game of Thrones were filmed. Not only have we taken hundreds of people on this unique tour, but also the crew and producers of Game of Thrones from HBO itself. Beautiful waterfalls, volcano’s, unusual lava rock formations, steaming hot springs, bubbling mud pools and mysterious landscape. All this and much more is what you can experience on a tour that ends with a visit to the Myvatn nature baths.
Let our “Game of Thrones” expert guide you around the iconic sites where some of this popular HBO series was filmed. The Myvatn area was the location chosen for the Beyond the Wall scenes in the 3rd season. Filming took place in 2012 and The Traveling Viking was lucky enough to guide some of the crew around the area. After Kit Harington (aka Jon Snow) broke his ankle in July, filming in Iceland did not begin until late November. This gave the crew a chance to experience the snow, frost and blizzards of an Icelandic winter and gave the actors a real sense of life Beyond the Wall.Beyond the Wall is home to the Wildlings or Free Folk under the rule of their king Mance Rayder. Under his command the Wildlings are gathering an army. The White Walkers however are on the move, threatening both the Seven Kingdoms and the land of the Free Folk. Jon Snow must join the Wildling army to try to discover Mance Rayder’s plans.
Not only will you see where “Game of Thrones” was filmed, you also get to see where J.R Tolkien got his inspiration for the magical world of Lord of the Rings and find out about his strong connections to Iceland.
