Iceland Holidays, Tour:
Northern Lights + Whale Watching + Akureyri
Welcome to North Iceland, one of the most diverse destinations in the world. Home to iconic TV series and movie set locations, geothermal hot springs, whale watching, the Northern Lights and now with direct flights from the UK to Akureyri in the north, your adventure awaits.
Akureyri is the little big city of Iceland. It is large enough to offer a rich selection of entertainment, art and culture, yet small enough to be very personal and close to nature. It‘s easy to be fascinated by Akureyri with brightly painted wooden houses, cosy bars and steep streets leading down from the hills into the friendly city centre. Even the traffic lights are cute, with stop lights in the shape of red hearts. It is also a great base camp for many of Iceland’s most beautiful natural wonders, such as waterfalls, volcanic areas and canyons, as well as numerous exciting activities, such as rafting, hiking, caving, whale watching and horseback riding.
Whales tend to stay in the vicinity of Iceland year round allowing for the combination of whale watching and Northern Lights in winter.
