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.

Customer Reviews
Yes. I was there with my daughter in person. Its really not a cut and paste job! Great experience. You can hire towels too. Bars outside at the Spa with restaurant inside. Open space under the sky and overlooking Akureyri. Great place to see the stars. Couples. Families. Solo travellers. So beautiful place to relax and unwind. My pictures of the Forest Lagoon have temporarily disappeared AGAIN so I'm sending others from my trip to Akureyri. Enjoy!
Not a great customer service as stuff was explainedto us very briefly and only available at the bar. As visited this place first time, it was not very well explained and had to think about everything we need to do and look at everyone else for information and/or how to do stuff. Been overcharged for drinks at the bar twice as they've run out of ingredients in one bar and we had to go to another one. Can't really take a phone with you to take any pictures at all. Would not visit again. Not great and dangerous for small kids.
The perfect place to relax and recuperate after a long day adventuring. The views are great, the facilities clean, and the pools dreamlike. It's beautiful any time of day, but definitely worth going at night to catch the northern lights thru the rising steam of the Geothermally heated waters. It's open fairly late. Also perfect for a post-ski apres! Be sure to guard your towel though, they seem to disappear too easily, but luckily the friendly staff is there to help.
