Travel through the north of Iceland and discover spectacular locations such as the Godafoss Waterfall, Reykjadalur, Grjótagjá Cave or Asbyrgi Valley with this Diamond Circle Tour.
Diamond Circle Tour
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Akureyri at 8 am and start a tour around the Diamond Circle in the north of Iceland.
The first stop will be at the Godafoss Waterfall, also known as the "waterfall of the gods". The waterfall is one of the most important in the country and the birthplace of the Christianisation of Iceland. After discovering its history, we'll visit Lake Mývatn, where we'll witness a fascinating landscape of volcanic origin.
Then, we'll continue to the Reykjadalur Valley and visit the Skutustadir Craters.
The next stop on the Diamond Circle tour is Dimmuborgir and its impressive lava formations, which originated more than 2000 years ago. We'll take a walk through the "dark castles" and visit the Grjótagjá Cave.
Among the places we'll visit will be the Selfoss and Dettifoss waterfalls, one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland. In the final stretch of the Diamond Circle, we'll discover the hot springs of Grjótagja, where you'll be able to take a soak in its geothermal waters.
Finally, we'll pass by Eyjafjordur, from where we'll be able to admire its imposing fjord and, after a stop to take pictures, we'll drop you back at 5 pm.
