Description
Witness the strength and beauty of one of Europe’s strongest waterfalls with this private six-hour super jeep tour of the Dettifoss waterfall from Myvatn. This private tour is perfect for those looking to experience the raw natural beauty of North Iceland’s awe-inspiring attractions up close.
Your private tour begins with a pickup at a pre-defined time at a hotel in the Lake Myvatn area. You’ll board a super jeep from your pickup location and ride with your private guide. Since this is a private tour, you have a lot of chances to ask your guide questions about the North Iceland attractions you’ll be visiting and more.
Wear a good pair of walking shoes and warm and weatherproof clothing for comfort. Also, bring a water bottle and don’t forget your camera to take amazing pictures.
Your group will stop at a local restaurant or cafe for a break, but you can bring snacks and refreshments if you want.
Your North Iceland tour focuses on the most powerful waterfall in Europe, Dettifoss. However, since this is a private tour, you have more freedom to customize it and add some stops along the way. For example, you can add a few quick moments in Lake Myvatn for some photo opportunities.
From Lake Myvatn, you’ll make your way to the Dettifoss waterfall. Dettifoss is the most powerful waterfall in Iceland, is 330 feet (100 meters) wide, and plunges into the Jokulsargljufur canyon at 150 feet (45 meters). Its magnificence and beauty make it a must-see attraction in the Diamond Circle, a route famous for its many unique and wonderful North Iceland sights.
The best thing about this private tour is that you can take your time finding the best spot to take amazing shots of Dettifoss. If you’re having a hard time, your private guide can help you.
After witnessing the glorious might of the Dettifoss waterfall, you’ll get the chance to visit Selfoss waterfall, which is less than a mile away. This often overlooked natural wonder is a stunning sight despite its 36 feet (11 meters) height. At times, the power of its falling water can make the water below appear as if there’s nothing but floating clouds.
Another fantastic attraction you can visit is Godafoss waterfall, also known as the “Waterfall of the Gods” due to its fascinating history. According to the local stories, statues of old Gods were thrown into the waterfall symbolizing the country’s transition to Christianity. Godafoss drops 39 feet (12 meters) high into the beautiful green-blue Skjalfandafljot river.
After enjoying several diverse and exciting North Iceland attractions, you’ll board your private transportation and return to your accommodation near Lake Myvatn.
