About the Forest Lagoon and Northern Lights tour

Forest Lagoon is a geothermal spa in Vaðlaskógur forest, across the fjord from Akureyri. It has two infinity pools surrounded by birch and pine trees, swim-up bars, a sauna and a cold tub, with views over Eyjafjörður to the town.

The second half of the evening is a Northern Lights hunt. North Iceland often has clearer skies than the south, and your guide knows where to go around Akureyri.

The Northern Lights can never be promised, and the evening part can be cancelled because of weather. If the tour runs and you do not see the lights, you can join again for free on another night.
