Tick two items off your Icelandic bucket list by booking this incredible guided excursion. Those who have dreamt of seeing the northern lights and bathing in a geothermal spa should book this combination tour now.

Your tour begins when your driver picks you up from your accommodation or another agreed meeting point in Akureyri. You'll meet the expert English-speaking guide leading the tour and the other guests.

The first stop of the tour is the Forest Lagoon geothermal spa. The Forest Lagoon is a geothermal spa near Akureyri in North Iceland, offering a relaxing soak with scenic views of Eyjafjordur fjord.

Opened in 2022, it features naturally heated mineral-rich waters sourced from Vadlaheidi mountain. The spa has two geothermal pools, a sauna, a cold plunge, and a swim-up bar.

Its location within a forested area makes it unique in Iceland, providing a peaceful atmosphere year-round. The facility also includes a restaurant and relaxation areas.

Forest Lagoon is a popular alternative to larger spas, offering a quieter experience while still providing the benefits of geothermal bathing in North Iceland. Enjoy the spectacular views and the chance to unwind.

When you're ready, it's time to head off in search of the northern lights. The northern lights in Iceland are visible from September to April, with peak activity during the darkest months.

Clear skies, minimal light pollution, and intense solar activity increase the chances of seeing them. The lights appear in varying colors, with green being the most common.

The northern lights are a natural phenomenon, so sightings aren't guaranteed. Your guide has access to aurora forecasts that help predict activity levels. They also know the best places to see them, away from the town's light pollution.

You may travel to a remote fjord, a quiet mountainside, or an open valley, and your guide will ensure they pick the location where you have the best chance of seeing them. The journey is unique as North Iceland's beautiful winter landscapes surround you.

Remember to wrap up warm, as Iceland's weather can be changeable, and you'll be standing outside to see the aurora borealis. Wear warm, waterproof layers, a hat, and gloves. Good hiking shoes are also essential.

At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to Akureyri. From here, you can continue your adventures in Iceland or head home with all the memories you've made.
