Eyjafjörður

Eyjafjörður is the longest fjord in Iceland and surrounded by mountains, most of which exceed a height of 1,000m/3,300ft and provide well-sheltered spots for farms and fields.

The Eyjafjörður area is suitable for hikes in places such as the Tröllaskagi mountain range, or the wooded park of Kjarnaskógur which is a five-minute drive from Akureyri. Other activities horseback tours, 4x4 vehicle safaris, and sightseeing by boat, coach, plane or car.

One of the most special characteristics of Iceland is the midnight sun and Eyjafjörður is one of the best places to see it.
