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.

    We loved this trip. The forest lagoon was amazing. The Northern lights trip was excellent. Our guide Sigi was great at finding the right spot and he kindly even helped us out by taking some photos as our cameras on our phones weren't good enough to get a good photo. Highly recommend.

  • Awesome experience w amazing guide

    Sigi was an amazing guide & would recommend to everyone. There were only 2 of us so we ended up with a private tour & very happy it wasn't cancelled. Sigi took a scenic route to get the most out of the tour. We were lucky w the lights & he made multiple stops for us to get out & enjoy them. He also took some amazing photos which he shared with us after. Can't recommend this tour enough

    Forest Lagoon was nice. Went in the evening after it got dark and the view across the fjord was very pretty. We had enough time to really relax and enjoy it. Afterwards we went on the hunt for the northern lights and Siggi, our guide, tried a few spots and soon found a perfect place for us to see them. All of a sudden a spectacular show was there for us to enjoy. Thanks Siggi, you gave us a memorable night.
