Fosshotel Husavik

Ready for some adventuring? This modern hotel’s just a 20-minute drive from Lake Mývatn and a popular starting point for the Diamond Circle – that famous sightseeing trail, which takes in the iconic sights of Lake Mývatn, Dettifoss Waterfall, and the Asbyrgi Canyon. If you’re looking for a comfy place to crash after seeing the best that north Iceland has to offer then look no further.

Húsavík isn’t just a convenient location either, it’s a historic village with sights to see and a unique charm all of its own. Known as the whale watching capital of Iceland, the seas are teeming with several species of whale and all kinds of other marine life. Plenty of whale-watching tours are in operation near the harbour – just a couple of minutes’ walk from the hotel – so don’t miss the opportunity to hop on a boat and see these wonderful creatures up close for yourself.
