About This Tour

A 9-day route through North Iceland's less-visited landscapes — a flight to Akureyri, the Diamond Circle's Dettifoss and Asbyrgi Canyon, the remote Westfjords, the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, and a finish through the western lava fields. Adapted from a self-drive itinerary — Voyzo runs this route with your own private driver and vehicle instead of a rental car.
