Mývatn Tours is a family running company. It started in 1980 when people were curious about the highlands and especially around mountain Dyngjufjöll where Askja lies. There was volcanic 1961, where the parking place in Askja is and runs down to Drekagil.  Jón Árni Sigfússon was the man that started with the tour to Askja in 1980. The road was rough and cars were not as good as today. Jón Árni also helped to find the best route. His son Gísli Rafn Jónsson took over the company after his father Jón Árni retired. And the tour is about the same except newer buses, but built together because these are unique 4x4 buses and excellence guides. That tells about the area and how amazing it is.

Today Mývatn Tours offer tours from the end of June until the first week of September, depending on when the road opens and closes.
