7-Hour Small Group from Akureyri Port: Godafoss, Hverfjall Crater Hike and Dettifoss

Three big natural sights in seven hours, with the Hverfjall crater climb as the active part. The day starts at the Saga Travel hut at the main port in Akureyri and heads first to Goðafoss, 12 meters high and about 30 meters wide, fed by the Skjálfandafljót river from the Vatnajökull glacier. Hverfjall, also called Hverfell, is a tephra crater near Lake Mývatn that formed about 2,500 years ago. It is nearly circular, around 1 kilometer across and 140 meters deep, and a marked trail leads up to the rim, where the group can walk around the whole crater and look over the volcanic terrain and the lake. A 15-minute lunch stop in the village of Reykjahlíð, on the shore of Lake Mývatn, leaves time for a quick meal or snack. Dettifoss in Northeast Iceland is the last waterfall: 44 meters tall, about 100 meters wide, dropping into the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon with mist and a roar. Bottled water, a packed lunch and WiFi on board are included. The group is small, and guides wear red Saga Travel jackets.
