Overview

Experience some of the best the North has to offer during winter time on our Forest Lagoon & Northern Lights tour.

The evening starts with a short drive to the Forest Lagoon geothermal baths where you'll get the opportunity to relax in the warm water. With views overlooking one of Iceland's longest fjords, Eyjafjörður, the spa's unique location surrounded by birch and pine trees truly sets it apart. During the visit to the Forest Lagoon guests will experience the view, the tranquility and the energy of Vaðlaskógur, the forest that surrounds the baths.

For the second half of the tour our experienced guides will take you outside Akureyri to see nature's most fascinating displays of artistry, the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights as we like to call them. The Northern Lights viewing for this winter is looking to be very active and there are few better places to see them than in the North around Akureyri.
