About this experience
Explore North Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders in ultimate comfort and style with Icelimo Luxury Travel’s private Diamond Circle Day Tour. Departing from Akureyri in a premium vehicle of your choice, this full-day experience takes you through a breathtaking landscape of volcanic fields, majestic waterfalls, and remote canyons—crafted for travelers who seek both adventure and elegance.
Your journey begins at Goðafoss, the “Waterfall of the Gods,” a stunning cascade rich in history and beauty. From there, continue to the Lake Mývatn region, where you’ll witness an alien-like geothermal world of bubbling mud pools, steaming fumaroles, lava formations, and pseudo-craters. Optional access to the Mývatn Nature Baths offers a serene break amid the wild surroundings.
Next, feel the raw power of Dettifoss, Europe’s most powerful waterfall, followed by a tranquil visit to the mythical Ásbyrgi Canyon, said to be formed by the hoofprint of Odin’s horse. The tour then winds toward the charming coastal town of Húsavík, known for its colorful harbor and vibrant charm—an ideal stop for a relaxed lunch or coffee.
Throughout the day, your personal chauffeur-guide ensures a smooth, safe, and customized experience, with local insights and flexibility for photo stops, nature walks, and personal preferences.
Discover the best of North Iceland on your terms—where luxury travel meets the raw beauty of the Arctic.

Cancellation for this tour
Cancelling costs 20% of the price within 999 days of departure. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.
Who this is not for
- Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

I absolutely loved my northern lights tour with Icelimo. Kel, our guide, was really nice, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to explain everything, drove us away from the crowds and found the perfect spot to watch the lights dance in the sky. It was a magical experience and I highly recommend!!

Excellent service, they were always attentive to detail. I especially want to mention our guide, Briosh, for explaining everything in the places we visited. Iceland is wonderful, but it's so much better with a company and guide of this caliber. Thank you so much! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to go to Iceland.

The full-day, Golden Circle tour with Jan was remarkable and memorable. He was engaging, knowledgeable and enjoyable. And he easily accommodated the two 80-year olds with us. The scenery and conversation were excellent. A very well-done tour.

I am the owner of Discover Scandinavia Tours, a boutique tour operator located in Florida and specialized in creating excellent Scandinavian vacations for North American travelers. My team and I have been entrusting Icelimo Luxury Travel with our clients touring Iceland for a number of years and I simply cannot say enough positive things about them. When it comes to professionalism, attention to detail and customer satisfaction, Icelimo is simply impossible to beat. It is no wonder that our clients come back from Iceland raving about their experience. Thank you very much for such a wonderful partnership, Icelimo team!
