Forest Lagoon and Northern Lights Guided Night Tour

Forest Lagoon and Northern Lights Tour Blends Geothermal Relaxation with Arctic Sky Display

Visitors to North Iceland are being offered a winter evening excursion combining geothermal bathing with Northern Lights viewing, showcasing two of the region’s most celebrated natural experiences. The tour begins at the Forest Lagoon, located in the peaceful Vaðlaskógur woodland near Eyjafjörður.

At the lagoon, guests relax in warm geothermal waters surrounded by birch and pine forest, with panoramic views over the fjord. The setting provides a quiet contrast to the winter cold, allowing visitors to unwind in a naturally heated environment shaped by Iceland’s volcanic activity.

After the bathing experience, the journey continues into the countryside outside Akureyri, where guides search for clear skies and optimal viewing conditions for the Aurora Borealis. The Northern Lights, when visible, illuminate the Arctic night with shifting curtains of green, purple, and blue.

Organised with a focus on comfort and safety, the tour includes experienced local guidance and contingency options for return visits if weather conditions prevent sightings. The combined experience highlights both Iceland’s geothermal richness and its unique winter skies, offering visitors a memorable evening in the north.
