Forget long days. This one is fast. You’ll head out from Hestasport and ride to Reykjafoss, where water drops in stepped pours into the canyon of Brandgil. What makes it special is the mix of calm horse-time and big, Iceland-style…
That ice cave feels like another planet. Lofthellir is a permafrost ice cave tucked inside a lava tube, with ice on the floor that can be thousands of years old. What I like most is the limited access approach and…
Goðafoss looks bigger than photos. This Akureyri shore tour strings together Iceland’s famous waterfall with a relaxing soak at the Forest Lagoon. I like that you get a proper stop at Goðafoss (not just a drive-by), with time for views…

Whales in Eyjafjord, no waiting. What I love most is the 12-person RIB size and the included warm kit. I also love the whale guarantee, with a try-again option if whales are elusive. The one drawback to plan around is…
North Iceland packs a lot into one day. This Diamond Circle trip from Akureyri strings together major stops, from Goðafoss to Dettifoss, plus the Odin-linked canyon at Asbyrgi, the lava-maze world around Lake Mývatn, and geothermal sights like Hverir’s bubbling…
The lights can turn any night into gold. This Akureyri Northern Lights tour is built around one goal: getting you away from bright town glow and out toward darker skies for a serious chance at the Aurora Borealis. You’ll ride…

Forest Lagoon plus e-bikes makes Akureyri easy. I like the combo of electric assist for real hills and the fact that Forest Lagoon admission is built in right after your ride. One thing to plan for: the route includes off-road…
