Worth the stop!
One of my favorite lagoons! Very unique atmosphere and lots to explore. It was rainy when we visited which actually made the experience better. This was the perfect evening activity and would recommend staying a few hours

Horse Riding Tour and Explore Scenery in Gásir Akureyritshughes, Sep 2026
Absolutely Magnificent
I can never express how much my husband and I enjoyed this experience. We fell in love with this breed of horses! The views were truly magical and the guides were phenomenal. I was celebrating the end of chemotherapy and the guides/owners made sure it was a perfect experience. I cried when it was over because of how truly caring these people were. I’d rate this a million on a scale from 1 to 10.

Akureyri Food Walk With 4-5 Tastings and a Local GuideKathy_L, Sep 2026
A great way to taste some local foods with a local
This was a really wonderful experience. While it was fun to visit the local places, from a hot dog stand to a fine dining restaurant with lamb, the real special thing about this tour was Ava our guide. Sitting down & eating with someone who was born, raised, & still lives in the town you are visiting gives you a chance to talk to them & find out about life there for locals. Ava has had some great experiences and thoughts to share from working on farms, to university life, to current Icelandic politics. It was a wonderful way to spend our mid-morning & helped us prepare for the rest of our time in town.

Exceptional tour
An exceptional tour. We had a lot of fun. The staff was knowledgeable and the excursion time literally flew by. It is worth it.

Great Fun
The guides put everyone at ease and made the whole experience fun. Luckily, we also had a good group of people that we went with. It was my wife's first-time ziplining, and I think Jon saw the fear in her eyes. He went and whispered to her to not wait to be the last one to go, or it would be that much harder. Once she went on the first line, she couldn't wait to do the next 4. Our kids couldn't believe she actually did it.
Loads of fun and a definite must do if you are in Akureyri.

Great alternative lagoon
Superior experience with fewer crowds, serene environment, and no gimmicks. So close to Akureyri and reasonable. Glad we put it on our itinerary.

Fantastic Tour!
This was an amazing private tour. The horses were so friendly and cooperative and our tour guide was the owner of the horse ranch himself. We had a wonderful time!

Highly recommend!
We loved this tour! We unfortunately didn’t get to see any whales, but we did see a ton of dolphins. The guides were also extremely knowledgeable about other wildlife and facts about the area and shared that with us as well. They provided warm overalls and rain jackets which turned out to be so nice since it was quite cold. They walked around and checked on passengers throughout the tour as well. There is only an emergency bathroom on board so keep that in mind and use the bathroom at check in before you board.

Big Whales & Puffins RIB boat tour from Húsavíkmarilyn_r, Aug 2026
We went in late...
We went in late August…the puffins were gone for the season, which we were aware of. The RIB boat ride was fantastic, but very little whale activity that morning…the tour guide was great!

Worth the visit
First we had horrible weather for this but if you're lucky enough to have good weather it is a nice way to spend your day.
Sandra was a great guide and avoided the crowds by going to turf house first. She had great knowledge to share and kept us entertained during the drive.

Private Diamond Circle Tour from AkureyriJames_B, Aug 2026
Tour guide Audun was amazing (and the tour was too!)
This private tour with our driver Audun was wonderful. He is a local, very knowledgeable about the area and Iceland as a whole. This was by far our favorite experience on our entire 10 day trip! Highly recommend this tour and especially Audun!!

Akureyri Guided E-Bike Tour304madinam, Aug 2026
Absolutely highlight for my boys
Biking through Iceland’s rare forests was such a highlight of our trip, and my boys absolutely loved it! Victoria was an amazing guide—so friendly, knowledgeable, and great with the whole family. The e-bike tour with Original North was such a fun and unique way to experience Iceland.And ending the day with access to Forest Lagoon was absolutely perfect. Such a memorable family experience—we highly recommend it!
