What To Expect

Godafoss

Our journey takes us to Goðafoss, one of North Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. This wide, horseshoe-shaped cascade is both a natural marvel and a site of deep historical importance.According to the sagas, in the year 1000, Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði cast his pagan idols into the falls after declaring Christianity Iceland’s official religion—earning it the name “Waterfall of the Gods.”Walking paths on both sides offer fantastic views and photo opportunities of the powerful waters tumbling over ancient lava rock. It’s a place where legend, landscape, and beauty meet.

Lake Myvatn

Explore the otherworldly landscapes of Lake Mývatn, one of Iceland’s most geologically diverse regions. Formed by volcanic activity over 2,000 years ago, this area offers a rich mix of natural wonders and quiet beauty.We’ll visit the Skútustaðagígar pseudocraters, formed by steam explosions, then walk among the eerie lava pillars of Dimmuborgir, a place steeped in folklore. At Grjótagjá, peer into a hidden geothermal cave once used for bathing—now famous from Game of Thrones.Next, experience the raw power of the Earth at Hverir, a steaming, sulfur-rich geothermal field beneath Mt. Námafjall. Bubbling mud pots, fumaroles, and mineral-streaked hills paint a surreal landscape.Lake Mývatn’s mix of serenity and volcanic drama makes it a highlight of the North—an unforgettable window into Iceland’s primal forces.

Dettifoss Waterfall

Prepare to be awed by the sheer force of Dettifoss, the most powerful waterfall in Europe. Located in Vatnajökull National Park, this thundering giant drops 44 meters into a rugged canyon and spans over 100 meters in width.Fed by the glacier river Jökulsá á Fjöllum, Dettifoss is not about elegance—it’s about raw, untamed energy. The mist rising from the crashing water can often be seen before the falls themselves, and the ground seems to vibrate as you approach.Well-marked trails lead to dramatic viewing points on the west side, offering unforgettable photo opportunities and a front-row seat to one of nature’s most intense displays. It’s a stop that leaves no one unmoved.

Asbyrgi (Shelter of the Gods)

Shaped like a massive horseshoe canyon, Ásbyrgi is one of Iceland’s most serene and mysterious natural wonders. According to Norse mythology, it was formed by Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse of the god Odin, who stamped his hoof here.Surrounded by 100-meter-high cliffs, the canyon shelters a peaceful forest of birch and spruce, a rare sight in Iceland. A calm pond at its base, called Botnstjörn, reflects the cliffs above and invites a quiet stroll along easy walking paths.Part of Vatnajökull National Park, Ásbyrgi offers a striking contrast to the raw power of nearby Dettifoss—a place of peace, legend, and lush natural beauty hidden in the north.
