About this experience

Discover the colourful life of the Arctic coastline with the exclusivity and flexibility of a private tour. We journey through Eyjafjordur and The Troll Peninsula (Tröllaskagi) experiencing the raw beauty of the surrounding mountains, fjords and coastline. We take you off the beaten path to visit local fishing villages providing an authentic experience of coastal life in Northern Iceland. We visit the small herring village of Hjalteyri taking in the sites and local tales. We then move on to the fishing port of Dalvik for some great photo opportunities. We travel through the mountain to the next fjord where we will head down to the black sand beach in Olfsfjordur village and then onwards to the scenic town of Siglufjord where the TV series 'Trapped' is filmed. The last stop is Kaldi Microbrewery where you will have the opportunity tour the microbrewey and try out their specialty beer.

Cancelling costs 10% of the price within 28 days of departure, rising to 50% within 27 days. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    Amazing experience with Imagine Travel – unforgettable Iceland trip! We had an incredible experience with Imagine Travel during our trip to Iceland. We joined the Northern Lights tour as well as a day trip to Goðafoss, the lava fields, and Hverir – every place was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide, Ármann, was truly outstanding. He is extremely passionate about his work and has deep knowledge of Icelandic history, culture, and local stories. His storytelling made the journey even more special, and his sense of humour – especially the Viking jokes – made us laugh throughout the trip! He looked after everyone so well, always putting health and safety first, and making sure we felt comfortable and informed at all times. You can really feel how much he loves his country and enjoys sharing it with others. Icelandic culture is truly fascinating, and this experience made me fall in love with the country even more. I’m already looking forward to coming back in the summer to explore even more of this beautiful land. Highly recommend Imagine Travel and especially guide Ármann! ❄️🇮🇸

    Had one of the best days of my life! We did a modified version of the Diamond Circle (as it was the shortest day of the year) and Armonn was incredible! He made sure we saw everything cool and just the right time... and it was so good, we booked to do their Northern Lights tour that night... And the sky danced for us! Thank you, Armonn!

    We had a great time on the Lake and waterfall tour thanks to our guide Daniel. He was absolutely awesome. Showed us the great sites and kept us entertained without being boring. Ask for Daniel the guide.

    We had an unforgettable experience on the Northern Lights tour with Imagine Iceland Travel. Our guide (Norbert) was exceptional—knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to give everyone the best possible chance of seeing the aurora. He shared fascinating insights about the science behind the lights. History of Akureyri all while keeping the atmosphere fun and relaxed One thing I really appreciated was the company’s kind of “second chance” policy: if we didn’t see the Northern Lights on our tour, we were welcome to join again the next night for free. It took all the pressure off and made the whole experience feel even more guest-focused and fair. Norbert went above and beyond—constantly checking weather updates, adjusting our route, and finding the perfect viewing spot. His photography tips were incredibly helpful too, beyond all of this - in my undestanding - he is the only one who offers to take photo of you for free, no other company does this and thanks to him I came home with fantastic photos. Seeing the Northern Lights is magical, but having such a dedicated, friendly, and experienced guide made the night truly special. I’d recommend this tour—and Norbert—to anyone dreaming of a breathtaking Arctic adventure!
