Diamond Circle Adventure – 3 days (+ up to 6 days extension)

Experience the nature pearls of northeastern Iceland. And much more!

This circle is usually available in four of the six seasons that is early summer, high summer, autumn hues and early winter, depending on the weather and road condition at any time. In the other seasons – high winter and spring – this tour may keep the shape of a circle or the final program may vary, due to road conditions and other circumstances.

The core of the tour consists of 3 days in the actual Diamond Circle, which includes Húsavík, Jökulsárgljúfur and its waterfall and canyons, the whole Mývatn area and Goðafoss. Anyway, the adventure can be extended further east, further west and even down to the gate and deep into the wild highlands to experience all the beauty of the North.

The river Laxá flows from Lake Mývatn through the valleys of Laxárdalur and Aðaldalur to Skjálfandi Bay were Húsavík is located. During this part, we will explore farmland and get a bit to know about culture and folklore. We head then to Húsavík. Sea tours (whale watching) are available almost all year round. We explore the town, visit museums and enjoy local food. In late afternoon is time to check-in at a hotel in Húsavík. Overnight in Húsavík.
