Itinerary
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.
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.
Jökulsárgljúfur
A canyon carved by glacial power
The river from Vatnajökull has cut a monumental course through North Iceland. Seasonal walks and viewpoints reveal waterfalls, lava cliffs and the scale of floods that shaped the national park.
Möðrudalur
Highland hospitality beneath Herðubreið
Pause at Iceland’s highest inhabited farm, surrounded by vast plateaus and distant volcanic peaks. The remote café and wide view towards Herðubreið bring warmth and human scale to the highland journey.
Stuðlagil Canyon
Basalt architecture beside a glacial river
Tall hexagonal columns line a deep canyon revealed by changing river levels. When seasonal conditions align, blue-green water intensifies the contrast and creates one of East Iceland’s most striking geological scenes.
Northeast highlands
A Super Jeep road through immense country
Travel between the headline sights across remote plateaus, broad valleys and changing volcanic terrain. The capable vehicle, local knowledge and flexible photo stops make the journey as memorable as the destinations.
Return to Lake Mývatn
A comfortable end to a wild route
Settle back after waterfalls, canyon walks and highland scenery while the guide chooses the best available return route for weather, daylight and road conditions.
