For your convenience, this North Iceland tour begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel in the Myvatn area. You'll meet your private guide here, who doubles as your driver and information source for a full day of sightseeing.
From the Myvatn area, you'll explore the famous Diamond Circle driving route in a super jeep. Your 4x4 jeep is ideal for the spectacular terrain of North Iceland, especially during winter. While you enjoy the vehicle's comforts, your group will pass through stunning landscapes, from picturesque mountains to lava fields and lush valleys.
Your first stop for the day is the most powerful waterfall in Europe, Dettifoss. With a massive width of 330 feet (100 meters), the Dettifoss waterfall is breathtaking to see up close. Your guide will take you to its eastern or western side, where you can take fantastic photos to remember your experience.
Not far from Dettifoss is the Jokulsargljufur canyon, where the mighty Jokulsa a Fjollum river, flows. The long glacier canyon features lesser-known attractions you will have a chance to explore, including the Hafragilsfoss waterfall and Hljodaklettar basalt columns.
Your next stop is the famous Asbyrgi canyon. This canyon has a horseshoe shape that is said to be created by Sleipnir, the steed of the Norse god Odin. While learning about this legend from your guide, you'll marvel at the rich canyon flora with birch and willow trees.
Near Asbyrgi canyon, you'll make a quick stop at the local hotel and restaurant for lunch. Local farmers manage the establishment, ensuring the menu features fresh local ingredients for the tastiest meals.
After lunch, your super jeep adventure takes you around the scenic Tjornes peninsula. Fascinating cliffs, snow-capped mountains, and lush valleys dot this scenic coastline area. You can stop near the high cliffs during summer to admire the nesting puffins.
To end your day tour on a high note, your last Diamond Circle stop is the charming town of Husavik. The settlement lies on the shores of the beautiful Skjalfandi bay, the whale-watching capital of Europe. Humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and other marine mammals roam the fertile waters of Husavik during summer.
In addition, you can explore many cultural attractions like museums, churches, geothermal spas, cafes, and souvenir shops while in Husavik.
The tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel in the Myvatn area.
