Small Group 2-Day Northern Lights and Forest Lagoon Tour in North Iceland

Explore some of North Iceland's spectacular sights, relax in the Forest Lagoon spa's geothermal waters, and search for the northern lights by booking this incredible two-day guided excursion. Those eager to embark on a range of adventures and marvel over the aurora borealis should book this small-group tour now.

Your tour starts when you arrive in Iceland. Your guide will pick you up at Akureyri Airport when your flight lands for a hassle-free transfer to your accommodation in the town.

Depending on your arrival time, you may have time to relax at your accommodation or explore the town of Akureyri. You will be picked up for your northern lights tour in the evening.

Your driver will take you away from the town's light pollution and into the surrounding North Iceland countryside.

North Iceland is one of the top regions to experience the northern lights, particularly between September and April. The area's long nights and minimal light pollution make it ideal for viewing this natural phenomenon.

Towns like Akureyri and the remote countryside provide excellent vantage points. Don't forget to wear plenty of warm clothing, as temperatures drop significantly during winter when the lights are most visible.

The northern lights are a natural phenomenon, and there is no guarantee that you'll see them. Your guide has local knowledge and access to cloud and weather forecasts, so they will know the places to go and give you the best chance of seeing them.

If you don't see the aurora borealis tonight, you can retake the excursion on the second day of your tour.

On the second day of the tour, you will explore some of the most incredible natural sights in North Iceland. The first stop is Godafoss waterfall. Godafoss waterfall is one of the country's most stunning waterfalls.

Standing around 39 feet (12 meters) tall and 98 feet (30 meters) wide, it cascades over a curved rock formation, creating a dramatic view.

The name "Waterfall of the Gods" comes from a historic event when a local chieftain threw pagan idols into the falls after Iceland converted to Christianity.

Viewing platforms on both sides of the falls allow for great photo opportunities and a chance to appreciate the waterfall's power and beauty.

The next stop is the Forest Lagoon geothermal spa. On the way, you'll stop in Eyjafjordur, where you can enjoy spectacular views over the fjord to Akureyri.

Nestled in a forested area, the Forest Lagoon geothermal spa offers a tranquil setting with stunning views of Eyjafjordur fjord.

The spa features warm, mineral-rich pools that provide a relaxing experience, much like the Blue Lagoon spa, but in a more peaceful and natural environment. Visitors can soak in the outdoor pools, enjoy the steam rooms, and take in the serene surroundings.

The Forest Lagoon geothermal spa is a great place to unwind after a day of exploring the northern region, offering a unique combination of nature and relaxation in Iceland's geothermal waters.

After the spa, your driver will take you back to Akureyri Airport in plenty of time to catch your flight home.
