Rejseplan
Fra Akureyri kører vi i cirka 30 minutter til vores første stop, som er til det smukke vandfald kaldet Godafoss. Se vandfaldene fra flere udsigtspunkter, og gå på stien for at få den perfekte fotomulighed.
Kør rundt i Lake Myvatn-området, som har et unikt landskab fra det bedste udsigtspunkt. Lav et kort fotostop med udsigt over Mývatn-søen. Nyd al majestæten i dette unikke landskab. Snesevis af kratere pryder landskabet, resultaterne af ældgamle vulkanudbrud.
Dette golde klippeområde indeholder kogende mudderbassiner og varme kilder med skyer af svovlholdig damp dvælende overalt. Mineralerne fra det geotermiske vand er udvasket i klippen og jorden her, hvilket resulterer i mærkelige farver.
Vi stopper ved Dettifoss, Europas mest kraftfulde vandfald. Dettifoss store omfang og kraft er noget at se. Du kan se denne utrolige kraft fra flere udsigtspunkter
Denne enorme hesteskoformede canyon er omkranset på 3 sider af massive lodrette klipper, der truer op til 330 fod høje. Disse klipper er hjemsted for et væld af fugleliv. I det dybeste løb på kløften ligger en idyllisk dam ved navn Botnstjorn.
En naturskøn køretur fra Ásbyrgi til Húsavík. Denne charmerende fiskerby er Islands hvalsafari-hovedstad. Vi har ikke tid til den dag, men vi har tid til at beundre travlheden i den centrale havn samt en af Islands smukkeste kirker. Stoppet ved Húsavík er omkring 20 minutter. Húsavík fik international opmærksomhed efter at have været med i Will Ferrell-filmen "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga", på Netflix. Køreturen tilbage til Akureyri er 1 time, hvor du bliver sat af ved havnen.

Diamond circle tour from Akureyri was excellent! We had great weather, and my absolute favorite part was picking wild blueberries in Asbyrgi canyon! Thank you!
Disappointed that the tour lasted 9 hrs. The description when booking said an 8 hr tour. We weren't the only ones who made plans based on the tour details. Still don't understand why it went 1 hr over. We've been on lots of excursions in various locations around the world and they always follow the schedule.
Fantastic day experiencing a variety of things Iceland has to offer. Good info about the country, the people, and the history.
We thoroughly enjoyed this full day tour and learned so much. They were very mindful of cruise ship return times and we never once felt worried or hurried. Highly recommended.
Another excellent tour with a great variety of stops that showcased the incredible beauty and diversity of Iceland. Our guide, Sigurjon, did an outstanding job sharing interesting facts about the country’s history, culture, and traditions. What made the tour especially enjoyable was how he connected those stories to his own life, explaining how Iceland has shaped him and his family. Those personal insights made the experience feel authentic and gave us a much deeper appreciation for the places we visited. A sandwich was provided during the tour, and there were also several opportunities to purchase coffee, snacks, and additional food along the way, making it easy to stay comfortable throughout the day. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Sigurjon as your guide!
Our Diamond Circle tour was one of the highlights of our trip, and Sven made it truly unforgettable! He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and shared so many interesting facts about Iceland. What really set him apart was his willingness to go above and beyond by making an extra stop so we could see the puffins. That unexpected experience was such a special treat and meant so much to us If you’re lucky enough to have Sven as your guide, you’re in for an amazing day Highly recommend this tour—and especially Sven!
Tour was canceled twice by the provider because the cruise ships did not align with the tour schedules. I did not have another day where I could reschedule. This is a cruise port and all tour activities apparently revolve around the scheduling of the cruise passengers. This can eliminate travelers who are not cruise people. It sure did with me.
We had a great time. Our driver was great and our guide kept playing us music! The sandwiches provided were pretty good.
Well organized, good communication even with confusion and delays in getting off ship. One member of our party fell and had to be taken by ambulance but all was handled and the rest of the group was able to continue. Good flexibility for another group member with physical limitations. And, of course, the scenery was amazing!
Thank you for your kind review. We are glad the tour was well organized and that our team could help during a difficult situation. We hope the guest who fell is doing well. It is also great to hear that the rest of your group could continue and enjoy the amazing scenery.
This was not the original tour we booked but a great substitute. The 3 stops around the lake were all so different and very interesting. Coming from Florida we have nothing like this! Excellent guide who was very knowledgeable.
