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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Whale watching on Skjálfandi Bay
Search for giants beneath Arctic mountains
Sail from the North Iceland coast into rich feeding waters known for humpback and minke whales. Wildlife remains wonderfully unpredictable, while the bay and surrounding mountains make every voyage memorable.
GeoSea
Warm seawater above the Arctic Ocean
Unwind in geothermal seawater pools overlooking Skjálfandi Bay. The infinity-edge setting, distant mountains and clean northern air create a luxurious pause with a strong sense of place.
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.
