A guided Super Jeep sightseeing tour to the Dettifoss Waterfall from Mývatn is an absolute must when travelling to northern Iceland!

The adventure begins at one of the listed meeting points in Mývatn (please see 'special terms' and specify when booking). After being greeted by your seasoned guide, you and your group (a maximum of 16 people) will board the Super Jeep and then receive a safety and itinerary briefing before setting off on a scenic 1-hour journey eastward, towards the celebrated Dettifoss Waterfall. Due to the rugged terrain of the east bank, the site is only accessible via all-terrain vehicles. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the marvellous views!

Upon your arrival at the Dettifoss Waterfall (the first stop of the excursion), you'll gaze at the cascading water with wonderment. Don't forget your camera! Throughout the sightseeing tour to the Dettifoss Waterfall from Mývatn, your guide will share fascinating facts about each waterfall you visit along with local insights into the rich culture and traditions of northern Iceland. The adventure continues with a short walk (1 km/0.6 miles) to the Selfoss Waterfall, which is equally as captivating but calmer than the Dettifoss Waterfall. Selfoss' curved shape and the imposing cliffs and basalt columns that surround it, make this waterfall just as mesmerizing.

Then, you'll head to the last stop on this remarkable sightseeing tour to the Dettifoss Waterfall from Mývatn, the Hafragilsfoss Waterfall. Traversing distinctive topography that almost feels as if you're on another planet, the 2 km/1.2-mile walk is well worth it, as you'll observe the formidable Hafragilsfoss Waterfall, whose pristine glacier waters empty into the Jökulsárgljúfur Canyon. Taking in the dramatic panoramas, you'll be enchanted by the astonishing geological splendours of Iceland! At the end of the Super Jeep sightseeing tour to the Dettifoss Waterfall from Mývatn, you'll return to the original meeting point with lasting memories of your trip to beautiful Iceland.
