Itinerary
Akureyri
The colourful capital of North Iceland
Explore a compact town of gardens, distinctive architecture and fjord views. The centre feels lively yet intimate, and a private guide brings its trading history, culture and everyday northern character to life.
Goðafoss
The spectacular Waterfall of the Gods
A broad horseshoe of glacial water sweeps over dark lava in one of North Iceland’s most beautiful waterfalls. Easy viewpoints reveal its power, graceful symmetry and celebrated place in Icelandic history.
Lake Mývatn
Volcanic beauty and remarkable birdlife
Shallow blue water, pseudocraters and lava-built islands create an intricate landscape unlike anywhere else in Iceland. The lake’s geology, abundant birdlife and ever-changing viewpoints reward an unhurried private visit.
Hverir at Námafjall
Steam, colour and bubbling earth
Enter a vivid geothermal plain where ochre hills, hissing fumaroles and bubbling mud reveal the immense heat still working close beneath the surface. The air, colour and sound make the landscape unforgettable.
Dettifoss
Feel the force of Europe’s most powerful waterfall
A vast glacial river plunges into Jökulsárgljúfur canyon in a display of spray, sound and raw energy. The approach builds anticipation before the immense scale of the falls comes fully into view.
Ásbyrgi
A horseshoe canyon wrapped in legend
Sheer cliffs curve around a sheltered woodland and calm pond in one of North Iceland’s most distinctive landscapes. Geology tells of catastrophic floods, while folklore credits the footprint of Odin’s horse.
Húsavík
Harbour charm on Skjálfandi Bay
Colourful boats, mountain views and a proud seafaring tradition give Húsavík its distinctive character. Time in the harbour connects the natural drama of the north with a welcoming coastal community.
