Itinéraire
Depuis Akureyri, nous conduirons pendant environ 30 minutes jusqu'à notre premier arrêt, qui est la magnifique cascade appelée Godafoss. Observez les chutes de plusieurs points de vue et parcourez le sentier pour une séance photo parfaite.
Parcourez la région du lac Myvatn, qui offre un paysage unique depuis le meilleur point de vue. Faites un court arrêt photo qui surplombe le lac Mývatn. Admirez toute la majesté de ce paysage unique. Des dizaines de cratères parsèment le paysage, résultats d’anciennes éruptions volcaniques.
Cette zone rocheuse aride contient des bassins de boue bouillante et des sources chaudes avec des nuages de vapeur sulfurique qui persistent partout. Les minéraux des eaux géothermiques se sont lessivés dans la roche et le sol, ce qui donne des couleurs étranges.
Nous nous arrêtons à Dettifoss, la cascade la plus puissante d'Europe. L'ampleur et la puissance de Dettifoss sont quelque chose à voir. Vous pouvez assister à cette force incroyable de plusieurs points de vue
Ce vaste canyon en forme de fer à cheval est bordé sur 3 côtés par d'immenses falaises verticales pouvant atteindre 100 mètres de haut. Ces falaises abritent une multitude d'oiseaux. Dans les parties les plus profondes du canyon, un étang idyllique appelé Botnstjorn se trouve.
Une route panoramique d'Ásbyrgi à Húsavík. Ce charmant village de pêcheurs est la capitale islandaise de l’observation des baleines. Nous n'aurons pas le temps ce jour-là, mais nous aurons le temps d'admirer l'agitation du port central ainsi que l'une des plus belles églises d'Islande. L'arrêt à Húsavík dure environ 20 minutes. Húsavík a attiré l'attention internationale après avoir joué dans le film de Will Ferrell "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga", sur Netflix. Le trajet de retour à Akureyri dure 1 heure, où vous serez déposé au port.

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.
A very spectacular excursion. Mirra was a very well spoken and informative guide with a lot of folklore and myth thrown in. Well done
Kjartan is an excellent guide, giving us lots of history and culture as we visited all the sights. Eugen drove skillfully, and the whole experience was outstanding.
