(Subject to Option Inclusions)

Itinerary

Goðafoss, located in North Iceland, is one of the country's most famous and beautiful waterfalls. It drops 12 meters (39 feet) over a curved, horseshoe-shaped cliff and stretches about 30 meters (98 feet) in width. The waterfall is fed by the Skjálfandafljót River, which originates from the Vatnajökull glacier. Known as the "Waterfall of the Gods," Goðafoss is not only stunning but also steeped in history, linked to the adoption of Christianity in Iceland around the year 1000. Its turquoise waters and picturesque surroundings make it a favorite destination for visitors.

Hverfjall

Hverfjall, also known as Hverfell, is a striking tephra crater in North Iceland, located near Lake Mývatn. Formed around 2,500 years ago during a volcanic eruption, this massive crater is nearly circular, about 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) in diameter, and 140 meters (460 feet) deep. Its black, rocky slopes offer a unique landscape, perfect for hiking. A well-marked trail allows visitors to climb to the rim, where they can walk around the entire crater and enjoy stunning panoramic views of the surrounding volcanic terrain and nearby Lake Mývatn. It's a must-see for nature lovers and geology enthusiasts.
