Private husky cuddling near Akureyri with coffee, photos, and videos. Pickup options, about an hour, English.

Would love to come back for some husky therapy.”
A private 3-hour horseback ride from Hestasport in Akureyri, with Icelandic horses, waterfall and glacier rivers, and warm gear plus a hot drink.

Private guided kayak tour in Siglufjörður with dry suits, hands-on practice, and fjord landmarks like a shipwreck and Selvíkurnef lighthouse.
“Truly magical experience! Kayaking across the fjord, learning the history of Siglufjörður, and spotting local wildlife were just some of the highlights. Highly recommend this activity - it was well worth the drive.”
Private Lake Myvatn and Godafoss cruise shore tour from Akureyri, with steam vents, lava fields, and optional Nature Baths.
