Explore the breathtaking beauty of North Iceland on a 10-hour private sightseeing tour of the Diamond Circle. This tour offers a flexible itinerary in a fully electric Tesla car, ensuring a carbon-neutral journey through some of Iceland's most stunning landscapes.

Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from your chosen location in Akureyri, the capital of North Iceland. Whether you're staying at a hotel, arriving at the airport, or disembarking from a cruise at the Akureyri port, your experienced guide will meet you and ensure a smooth start to your tour.

The Diamond Circle is a renowned sightseeing route in North Iceland, celebrated for its diverse and dramatic natural attractions. This circuit, which rivals Southwest Iceland's Golden Circle, encompasses majestic waterfalls, geothermal wonders, picturesque coastal areas, and more.

The first stop on your itinerary is the Godafoss waterfall, known as the "Waterfall of the Gods." For many travelers and locals, Godafoss is one of Iceland's most stunning cascades. Its majestic water tumbles into a horseshoe-shaped cliff that stretches for 98 feet (30 meters).

Next, you'll visit Lake Myvatn, a vast lake with unique volcanic landscapes and abundant birdlife. Although it's the fourth largest lake in the country, it's surprisingly shallow at an average depth of 8 feet (2.5 meters). Here, you can see pseudo-craters, lava fields, and numerous duck species.

From there, the adventure heads to Mount Namafjall and the Hverir geothermal area. This area is known for its bubbling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and vibrant mineral deposits. The geothermal activity creates a fascinating landscape, perfect for exploration and photography.

Another site to visit is Dettifoss, Iceland's most powerful waterfall. The sheer force and volume of water cascading down the falls create a dramatic and unforgettable sight. You'll feel the ground tremble as you approach closer, making it one of the highlights of your trip.

Asbyrgi canyon is the next stop on your itinerary. This horseshoe-shaped canyon, with its lush vegetation and towering cliffs, is a magnificent contrast to the surrounding landscapes. You can enjoy a walk through the canyon while learning about its formation and myths from your guide.

Your journey then takes you to the charming town of Husavik, known as the whale-watching capital of Iceland. 

In Husavik, you have the option to relax in the GeoSea Baths, where you can soak in warm, mineral-rich seawater while enjoying stunning views of Skjalfandi Bay. This optional experience is subject to availability and can be included in your itinerary for an added cost.

In the summer, the itinerary may also include visiting the Tjornes peninsula, where you can see puffins nesting along the coastal cliffs. This adds an extra layer of excitement and natural beauty to your tour.

Your 10-hour sightseeing tour ends with a drop-off at your chosen location in Akureyri.
