Akureyri Siglufjörður Half Day Tour to the Arctic Coastline
Overview
The Arctic Coastline slow drive tour goes along picturesque coastline road, impressive sea cliffs, small old fishing villages, local farmer's market and beautiful Siglufjörður.
Siglufjörður was the main herring town in Iceland during the “Herring years”. In the early 20th century the workers arrived in full force to the area to make the most of this exciting time.
Tour start in Akureyri and we do offer hotel, harbour or airport pickup/drop off free of charge.
We begin with a visit to a former herring village, Hjalteyri, stepping 50 years back in time. We visit the local farmer's market Vellir in a authentic Icelandic farmers community at Svarfaðardalur and in Siglufjörður we visit the award winning Herring Era Museum. Here you will have ample time to explore the boats, workers living quarters, and the factory areas of this impressive museum.
You will have time to explore the Siglufjörður town before we head back to Akureyri. Travel time is included in the total tour duration.
