Itinerary

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Dimmuborgir

Lava castles, arches and Icelandic legends

Walk through a maze of towers, caves and natural bridges left by an ancient lava lake. The extraordinary formations have inspired centuries of folklore and provide one of Lake Mývatn’s most atmospheric short walks.

5

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.

6

Earth Lagoon Mývatn

Geothermal relaxation in volcanic surroundings

Slip into naturally warm mineral water and watch steam drift across the open North Iceland landscape. The lagoon gives the day a wonderfully restorative finale after waterfalls, lava formations and geothermal exploration.

Akureyri

The colourful capital of North Iceland
