This tour is based in Akureyri, the largest city in North Iceland and the gateway to the Arctic highlands. Akureyri sits at the head of the Eyjafjordur fjord, approximately 100 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle, making it one of Iceland's premier destinations for Aurora Borealis viewing during the winter months. The surrounding region offers low light pollution, open skies, and diverse terrain ranging from coastal fjordlands to elevated mountain passes, all of which are leveraged by the Fox Adventure team to locate optimal Northern Lights conditions. North Iceland is also known for its strong outdoor and wildlife tourism culture, with dog sledding, whale watching, and geothermal experiences forming the backbone of the regional visitor economy.
