Itinerary
Day 1
Evening departure from Akureyri with husky meet-and-greet followed by a Northern Lights hunt in the surrounding countryside. Total duration ~5 hours.
Pickup in Akureyri
Complimentary pickup within Akureyri (selected pickup point confirmed in advance). Board the comfortable minibus and meet your guide before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your exact pickup point with the operator by 18:00 on the day of the tour.
- Be ready in the hotel lobby at the agreed pickup time to keep the schedule for all guests.
- Have a charged mobile phone available so guides can contact you if pickup timing changes.
Husky petting
Visit a nearby farm for a warm drink (coffee, tea or hot chocolate) and a supervised meet-and-greet with friendly huskies. Learn briefly about the dogs from the owner and enjoy time to cuddle and take photos.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear warm, water-resistant footwear and outer layers — the farm area can be wet or snowy in winter.
- Keep movements calm around the dogs; ask the owner before feeding or handling puppies.
- Bring gloves you can remove quickly for photos; a small hand sanitizer is handy after petting animals.
Northern lights hunt
Drive away from city lights into the clearer countryside or nearby mountains. Guides will choose the best available vantage point based on weather and road conditions and spend time watching for aurora activity.
Tips from local experts:
- Dress in very warm layers (thermal base, insulating mid-layer, windproof/waterproof outer layer) — temperatures can drop sharply at night.
- Bring a tripod or use a stable surface for long-exposure photos; set phones/cameras to manual or night mode for best results.
- Carry a thermos with a warm drink and spare batteries for cameras/phones (cold reduces battery life quickly).
Drop off in Akureyri town
Return transfer to central Akureyri. Drop-off point will be the same area as pickup (hotel or central meeting point).
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm estimated drop-off time with your guide before leaving the viewing site so you can plan any onward arrangements.
- Expect the vehicle to be warm; change into dry outer layers if needed before boarding for the trip back.
- If you need a specific drop-off address, tell the guide at pickup so they can schedule the route accordingly.
