More about the Tour

The often overlooked Trollaskagi (peninsula of the Trolls) is one of the most spectacular sections of the Arctic Coast Way. It is a very scenic drive alongside the tallest mountains outside of the highlands, charming fishing villages and views of the islands.

We will stop to admire the views and get an insight into the history of the region at the towns of Hjalteyri, Hauganes, Dalvik and Olafsfjordur.

Colourful Siglufjordur was once known as the herring capital of Iceland and is home to various art galleries, restaurants and cafes.
It is possible to visit the Herring Era Museum for a fascinating insight into the town’s golden Herring era.

On the way back, it is possible to stop for a tasting at Iceland’s first microbrewery, Kaldi, in Arskogssandur.
The Beer Spa is also popular and it is possible to extend the tour to include it.
