Top Experiences in Akureyri

Easy
Forest Lagoon
A geothermal spa built into a birch-forested hillside above Eyjafjörður — smaller, quieter, and more intimate than the Blue Lagoon, with infinity-edge pools that make you feel like you're floating above the fjord.
2-3 hours
Hot SpringRelaxation

Easy
Hverir
A raw, otherworldly geothermal field east of Lake Mývatn where sulphur-crusted vents hiss, mud pots bubble, and the ground itself feels alive — no entrance fee, no barriers, just you and the Earth's plumbing on full display.
