Arctic Coastline and Tröllaskagi (Troll) Peninsula

Tröllaskagi Peninsula Tour Showcases Fjords, Fishing Heritage and Coastal Villages

Travellers in North Iceland are being offered a guided excursion through the dramatic Tröllaskagi Peninsula, where steep mountains rise above deep fjords and traditional fishing settlements line the coast. The journey departs from Akureyri and follows the scenic Eyjafjörður fjord, offering wide views of glaciers, black sand beaches, and rugged northern terrain.

The route includes stops at several historic towns, including Dalvík, Ólafsfjörður, and Siglufjörður. Each location reflects the region’s maritime heritage and resilient coastal lifestyle, with opportunities to explore local culture, architecture, and harbour views shaped by centuries of fishing tradition.

A highlight of the tour is the small village of Hauganes, where visitors can experience natural geothermal hot tubs positioned along the Atlantic shoreline. Here, guests can relax while overlooking black sand beaches and enjoy a peaceful contrast to the surrounding dramatic landscapes.

The excursion also includes a visit to the Herring Era Museum and a stop at the Baccalá Bar restaurant, where local flavours are served in a coastal setting. With expert guidance and comfortable transport, the experience combines history, scenery, and relaxation into a comprehensive introduction to the Troll Peninsula.
