Day Trip to the Arctic Coast

At the appointed time we'll pick you up at your hotel in Akureyri and, aboard a 4x4 vehicle, we'll drive towards the Tröllaskagi peninsula. As we cross the northernmost lands of Iceland, we'll experience the Arctic coastline, the Eyjafjörður fjord, rivers, and valleys.

We'll explain how this landscape was shaped during the Ice Age while we contemplate the mountains and pass through villages like Ólafsfjörður and Dalvík. We'll stop at one of the unique black sand beaches.

The excursion will take us to Siglufjörður, a seaside village where the TV series 'Trapped' was filmed. It's considered one of the most beautiful villages on the Tröllaskagi peninsula.

You can stroll through this village known for its wooden houses and history linked to herring fishing. We'll share details of this area's golden age.

After visiting Siglufjörður, we'll head to Hauganés, where you can enjoy a dip in the hot tubs heated by geothermal energy at a black sand bay.

Before returning to Akureyri, we'll have lunch at a restaurant in Hauganés. After six hours, we'll conclude the tour and drop you off at your hotel.
