Some wish to go walking, swimming or golfing, while others choose fishing, hunting, horseriding, or even something more adventurous, such as whale watching , river rafting or Heli-Skiing. Wherever you go, there is, something on offer to suit everyone. All types of excursions to explore the area, the islands and the highlands to view extraordinary landscapes, mountain ranges, hot springs, waterfalls, glacial rivers, volcanic craters and other geological features. A tour into the Highlands is an experience never to be forgotten. All seasons of the year bring an array of breathtaking colours , and all seasons have their own charm in the North of Iceland.

The district is known for its good agricultural conditions and many fishing towns and villages e.g. Akureyri, Dalvik, Olafsfjordur, Hrisey, Arskogssandur and Grenivik. The island Hrisey in the middle of Eyjafjordur is the second largest island off the coast of Iceland and often referred to as “The Pearl of Eyjafjordur”.
The waters of Olafsfjordur Lake, reflects Olafsfjordur town along with the mountains and the sky, and occasionally a trout breaks the surface, as a reminder of what is up and what is down in this mysterious mountain retreat. The lake has a long-lived reputation for mystery, not least because both fresh-water and salt-water fish are caught in it.

Aldeyjarfoss

In upper Bardardalur, one of Iceland´s most photogenic waterfalls flows over a layer of intriguing basalt columns on the Skjalfandafljot river. More basalt patterns can be seen in the shallow canyon above the falls.
The most common highland route in Iceland crossing from north to south. The route is a 4WD track, crossing rivers and rough terrain. On a clear day the view to the glaciers is magnificent and the vast interior is unbelievable. Only passable in summer.
18 Godafoss
“Waterfall of the Gods” is on the river Skjalfandafljot, just off the Ring Road by Fossholl. The name of the waterfall refers to the incident when Thorgeir the Lawspeaker, riding home to his farm at Ljosavatn, after ruling at the Thingvellir assembly in the year 1000, that Iceland should adopt christianity, tossed his carvings of the Norse gods into the fall, taking the faith himself.
17 Fjordur
The peninsula between Eyjafjordur and Skjalfandi Bay is a paradise for hikers. Two 4WD tracks lead to the north of the peninsula, one to Hvalvatnsfjordur and the other to Flateyjardalur. No services, but camping allowed in specific areas.
21 MyvatnThe Myvatn basin sits squarely on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Although most of the interesting sights are volcanic or geothermal features, the centrepiece is the 37 sq km lake Myvatn itself, which averages a depth of only 2.5m. The lake contains over 50 islands and islets, mostly pseudocraters formed when molten lava flowed into the lake. Places of interest include the pseudocraters at Skutustadir, Hofdi peninsula, Dimmuborgir lava formations, Hverfjall/fell Crater, Hverir hotspring area, Krafla volcanic area and Myvatn Nature Bath. Myvatn is considered one of the best birdwatching place in Iceland.

Herdubreid
Askja
Kverkfjoll
Mt. Herdubreid on the Oskjuleid Route is a 1682m high table mountain. It is the national mountain of Iceland and often called the “Queen of Icelandic mountains”. There is a hiking trail to the top of the mountain, but due to loose rock it´s difficult and steep.
Askja is a 50 km2 caldera in the Dyngjufjoll mountains. In an eruption in 1875, an area of 11 km2 on the south-eastern side of Askja caved in to form Lake Oskjuvatn, the deepest lake in Iceland, 217m and a tephra crater known as Viti (Hell) north of it.
Kverkfjoll is a big massif on the northern edge of Vatnajokull glacier, lodged between two tongues from the main cap, Dyngjujokull and Bruarjokull. Here on the rim of the ice is one of the greatest geothermal fields in Iceland. Interesting Ice cave is on the edge of the glacier about 3 km from the Mountain Hut.

SkiingThe ski areas in North Iceland all occupy their own niche in the region’s magnificent landscape. They offer slopes and lifts for both children and adults. Outside the organized ski areas the possibilities for backcountry skiing are endless with the Troll Peninsula being the center of activity. The terrain is as though it was created for Alpine ski touring, Cat skiing and Heli Skiing, which are all activities currently on offer for the avid skier. Facilities for cross-country skiers, with prepared trails can be found in many locations and also some organized cross country and alpine ski touring trips. Skiing virgin slopes all the way down to the Arctic Ocean is what characterizes this skiers paradise where snow conditions remain favorable well into spring, with the season lasting from mid February to the end of May. Winter in the North offers a true family paradise, promising pleasure and spiritual renewal in the embrace of snow-covered mountains.

Boat tours / Whale Watching / Seal WatchingSailing out on the Atlantic Ocean, towards or even beyond the Arctic Circle is something unique. Little can compare to feeling the fresh ocean breeze blowing in your face while riding the waves in search of seals or whales and watching the sea birds soaring into the sky. Sea-angling is fun and if you are lucky you might even catch some of the the ocean’s “silver darlings” which will doubtless taste delicious at the end of an enjoyable day.

Fishing / HuntingMany of Iceland’s leading salmon and trout streams and rivers are located in the North. Fresh and unpolluted, they receive the salmon in summer and provide it with optimal conditions. Not to be forgotten are the numerous lakes near lowland farms, among lofty mountains, or up in the highlands. These lakes are replete with energetic arctic char and muscular brown trout that provide a dream catch for the fisherman. Those wishing to fish on the deep blue ocean can choose sea angling, with departures from several harbours; see the chapter on boat tours.For fishing permits and availability, please contact the tourist information centres all over the north of Iceland.
Hunting and shooting game is also becoming popular in the north. In autumn it is possible to hunt the Greylag goose and in November-December ptarmigan shooting is allowed over a certain period. Every year hunting permits are sold for reindeer in the north east of the country. For further information on these sports, please contact tourist information centres in the north.

Sheep/horse Round-up in September
Horse round-upNowhere in the Iceland are more horses gathered in the round-ups than in the north of Iceland. Hundreds of horses are herded into the mountains in July, then, at the end of September and the beginning of October, farmers drive both sheep and horses down from their summer pastures in the highlands to lower land – just as they have done for centuries. The main round-ups are Viðidalstungurett in Húnathing-vestra, Skrapatungurett in East Hunavatnssysla and Laufskalarétt in Skagafjordur.
Further information at www.northwest.is and www.skagafjordur.is
Sheep round-upThe rounding up of sheep usually occurs during the month of September in the north of Iceland. This takes place in all districts and if you are interested, please check with tourist information centres in each district for further details on time and location.
Open FarmsIn the north of Iceland, many farms are open to visitors. Farmers are pleased to allow you to visit their stables and barns and learn more about their animals.

Birdwatching The North of Iceland is a great place for birdwatching. The sea cliffs around the coast are teeming with birds such as puffins, gulls and guillemots, while the lakes and moors of the north provide an excellent habitat for ducks and waders. There are many designated birdwatching areas with bird watching shelters that provide an excellent way to view and photograph the birds from the land, while taking a boat out to sea is also a great way to watch sea birds. For more information, please check the chapter on boat tours.
