As Akureyri is on the ring road around Iceland the town is well suited for longer stays for those who want to venture into different parts of the area, Siglufjordur and Dalvik to the north, Skagafjordur to the east and Myvatn and Husavik to the east, all in just within a 1.5 hour reach. In our mind these part of Iceland offers a fantastic array of natural wonders, such as high temperature volcanic activities, beautiful waterfalls and major gorges and canyons.
