Private Arctic Coastline and Tröllaskagi

Private Arctic Coastline and Tröllaskagi Tour

Experience the unparalleled natural beauty and rich history on the Private Arctic Coastline and Tröllaskagi Tour. This exclusive journey takes you through the majestic mountains, serene fjords, and charming villages of North Iceland, where stunning landscapes meet Icelandic culture.

A Scenic Journey Through the Fjords

Departing from Akureyri, the capital of the north, we begin our adventure by heading out through the picturesque Eyjafjörður Fjord. The Tröllaskagi Peninsula, or Troll Peninsula, is known for its rugged beauty, with deep valleys carved by glaciers and rivers. As we drive, you’ll witness awe-inspiring views of towering mountains and the tranquil fjords.

Explore Fishing Villages and Glacial Valleys

The peninsula is home to several quaint fishing villages that have thrived for centuries. We’ll pass through Dalvík and Ólafsfjörður, each offering a glimpse into Iceland’s traditional way of life. The villages’ colorful houses and coastal landscapes are perfect for those looking to capture the essence of rural Iceland. We’ll also stop by Siglufjörður, a historic fishing town, famously known as the filming location for the popular TV series Trapped.

Natural Wonders Along the Way

Along the way, you’ll see black sand beaches, shaped by the forces of nature. These striking landscapes offer a contrast to the lush mountains and fjords that surround them. The area is rich in natural history, with permanent glacier ice caps still visible in central Tröllaskagi, though small, they remain a stunning feature of the landscape.

Discover Hauganes: A Hidden Gem

On the return journey, we make a stop at Hauganes, a small village with a fascinating history. Established in the late 19th century, this village has remained home to a population of around 90 people for the last 50 years. The sheltered creek has been a natural harbor for farmers for centuries, and today, you can enjoy the soothing experience of hot geothermal tubs on the black sand beach, perfect for a refreshing swim in the Atlantic Ocean.

Finish with Local Delights

To wrap up your day, we’ll stop at Baccalá Bar Restaurant in Hauganes, where you can indulge in local Icelandic dishes before we drive back to Akureyri. This private tour is an ideal way to explore the Arctic coastline and the historical and natural wonders of Tröllaskagi at your own pace.
