In the north, you’ll discover fascinating contrasts: bubbling geothermal springs, the surreal landscapes surrounding Lake Mývatn, the majestic Goðafoss waterfall, and the charming coastal town of Húsavík – a perfect place for whale watching. After a day full of impressions, relax in the soothing waters of the Mývatn Nature Baths.

Further east, feel the power of the Dettifoss, the silence of the Ásbyrgi Canyon, and explore the colourful valleys of Borgarfjörður-Eystri. The journey culminates in the spectacular glacier regions of the south: Jökulsárlón, Skaftafell, and the black sand beaches of Vík with the iconic rock arch of Dyrhólaey.

Iceland moves you – with its vastness, authenticity, and unforgettable moments.
