Enjoy the wonders North Iceland!
The majestic waterfall Godafoss and the breathtaking nature surrounding Lake Myvatn has, for decades, been the most popular area to visit in northern Iceland. Dettifoss waterfall is the beast in the north, the most powerful waterfall in Europe.
This tour starts with a short drive to Godafoss waterfall where we stop for quite some time enjoying the beautiful views and maybe grab some refreshments at the local coffee house. As we reach Lake Myvatn we have several stops around the lake with short walks in lava fields, the geothermal area and amongst the unique pseudo craters and other wonders in the area.
Dettifoss is truly a breathtaking natural wonder! The raw power and size of the waterfall make it a mesmerizing sight to witness. It's impressive how the force of the water creates such a powerful sound and mist that envelops the surroundings.
Want to escape the crowds? This tour takes you to the east side of Dettifoss, a side few visitors ever see. While the buses gather on the west, we’ll enjoy a quieter, more intimate experience of Europe’s most powerful waterfall.
