Description
Experience many of the most popular attractions in Northern Iceland, all in one day with an expatriated guide in a capable Super Jeep.
Come with us on an unforgettable journey where we start by enjoying the amazing waterfall Goðafoss with its beauty and great history, from there we continue to the wonderful lake Mývatn with its rough volcanic environment, rich bird life and flora. There we will stop at Dimmuborgir, Grjótagjá and Hverir.
First we will drive past Skútustaðagígar a cluster of very unique volcanic land formations (pseudo crater) which got formed during a eruption in the area. This type of land formations have only been found in four places on the planet and then a few on the planet Mars.
Dimmuborgir (Dark castle) is a unusually dark and rough lava field which contains many strange formations and lava caves such as Gatklettur the “Holly cliff”.
Next we go and explore the nice small lava cave Grjótagjá with a geothermal spring inside which was used as a bathing place for a long time.
Hverir has countless of boiling hot mud springs and steam vents in widely different colors.
After leaving Mývatn we will continue to the great and powerful waterfall Dettifoss which is located in the Vatnajökull National Park, and it’s reputed to be the most powerful waterfall in all of Europe. Dettifoss is over 100 meters wide and drops 45 meters down into the gorge Jökulsárgljúfur. We will then take a better look at Jökulsárgljúfur which is the largest gorge in all of Iceland with a span up to 500 meters and a depth of 120 meters before heading back to Akureyri.
We bet that you have never felt so small against Mother Nature before.
During winter time it can be expected that the road to Dettifoss is impassable for normal cars, then our Super Jeeps come in handy.
