Your excursion begins with a pick-up from your Akureyri accommodation. You’ll greet your friendly driver, and when everyone is on board, you’ll head to the Forest Lagoon, North Iceland’s premium hot spring bathing destination.
The evening is the perfect time to relax in Iceland’s geothermal waters. After exploring during the day, unwind entirely in a breathtaking fjord-side setting while reflecting on the day’s adventures.
The Forest Lagoon is just 2.2 miles (3.6 kilometers) from Akureyri. It boasts a large warm pool, a smaller and hotter pool, a Finnish dry sauna, and a cold pool for the ultimate wellness experience. Your booking includes the admission fee, a towel, and access to all the facilities.
The large pool is 634 square yards (530 square meters), so you’ll have plenty of space to move around and relax in the serene waters. Marvel at the unbeatable views across the Eyjafjordur fjord as you bathe amid a forest of pine and birch trees.
The large pool’s temperature is a comfortable 98.6 F (37 C). Adding to its luxury, it features an indoor entry and two swim-up bars, so you can enjoy your favorite beverage as an added indulgence.
The smaller pool is perfect for those who prefer things a little hotter. It maintains a temperature of around 104 F (40 C).
If you get too hot, take a refreshing plunge in the cold pool. Cold water immersion has several health benefits, including reduced muscle soreness, increased circulation, and the potential to improve immunity and metabolism.
Although the cold might feel a bit of a shock, you can warm up again immediately. You’ll likely feel renewed energy from such an invigorating activity!
Make sure you try the Finnish dry sauna at the Forest Lagoon. It will make your entire body feel toasty warm. The sauna uses dry heat (high temperature and low humidity), which differs from a steam room or wet sauna. After immersing yourself in the sauna’s heat, a cool shower feels fantastic.
You’ll depart the Forest Lagoon feeling calm yet energized, with memories of a tranquil experience etched in your mind. Your driver will meet you in the lobby, ready to take you back to your Akureyri accommodation.
