Dettifoss

Connection with the Northern Diamond Circle and Best Time to Visit Dettifoss is one of the main attractions along Iceland's famous northern tourist route, the **"Diamond Circle"**. This route includes Mývatn Lake, Ásbyrgi Canyon, and the town of Húsavík, making it common to plan a 2-3 day itinerary that combines a visit to Dettifoss with these destinations. The best time to visit Dettifoss is during the summer season, from late May to early September. During this period, all access roads are open, the weather is relatively stable, and you can enjoy the unique experience of viewing the waterfall late at night under the Midnight Sun. However, from October to April, roads are often closed due to snow and ice, so it is essential to check road conditions beforehand. Tip: After visiting Dettifoss, head north to Húsavík for a whale-watching tour or explore the geothermal areas around Mývatn to fully enjoy the diverse attractions of the Diamond Circle. Dettifoss is a place where you can feel the raw heartbeat of Icelandic nature.
