Itinerary
Húsavík port departure
From the harbour into volcanic country

Goðafoss
The spectacular Waterfall of the Gods
See the river sweep across a broad horseshoe of dark rock in a powerful white cascade, one of North Iceland’s most beautiful and historically resonant natural landmarks. The stop adds another vivid layer to a day shaped by fire, water and the open landscapes of North Iceland.
Dimmuborgir
Lava castles, arches and legends

Grjótagjá
A rift cave filled with blue geothermal water

Hverir at Námafjall

Warm water surrounded by lava
