Revitalizing 4.5-Hour Forest Lagoon and Northern Lights Winter Tour from Akureyri

Spend your winter vacation in Iceland in a memorable way by booking this 4.5-hour winter tour from Akureyri. This revitalizing adventure takes travelers to the Forest Lagoon for geothermal pampering before hunting the captivating northern lights.

Your eventful evening begins when a friendly local guide picks you up from your Akureyri accommodation. You'll ride a comfortable vehicle toward the Forest Lagoon, a stunning geothermal spa in a peaceful forest near Akureyri.

The Forest Lagoon complex measures 13,993 square feet (1,300 square meters) and features naturally heated geothermal waters that complement the cold temperature of winter. You'll find two infinity pools that let you immerse in the warm waters while enjoying the surrounding Vadlaskogur forest or the views out toward the fjord.

In addition to the pools, you can enjoy the spa's cold plunge pool, a sauna, and a bistro for some refreshments after your soak. As you take in the soothing waters of the Forest Lagoon, you'll appreciate its peaceful atmosphere and carefully curated amenities.

Interestingly, the people behind the development of the Forest Lagoon are the same ones who built the famous Blue Lagoon on the Reykjanes peninsula in Southwest Iceland. As a result, the Forest Lagoon highlights the area's unique surroundings, fusing them with the calming waters of the lagoon.

After rejuvenating your mind and body at the Forest Lagoon, you'll prepare to leave for your northern lights hunting adventure. The aurora borealis, or northern lights, is a natural phenomenon that occurs when charged particles from the sun collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, releasing energy through colorful lights.

Each display of the northern lights is unique, with variations in intensity, color, and movement. As soon as the northern lights appear, you'll see an unforgettable display of greens, purples, and reds in the night sky. They can appear as subtle, faint arcs across the sky or as vibrant, swirling curtains that dance and shimmer.

Be ready with your cameras and take as many pictures and videos of the northern lights as possible. 

However, the appearance of the northern lights is not guaranteed. To boost the chances of seeing the aurora borealis, the expert guide will drive you away from Akureyri to a place far from the city lights. The guide's experience will help him find the best spots around the country.

Since the appearance of the northern lights is dependent on the current weather conditions, your itinerary may change. In such cases, the tour may be rescheduled to a later date.

After enjoying the fascinating visual spectacle, you'll return to your vehicle for the drive back to Akureyri, carrying the precious memories of your unforgettable adventure.
