View the magical Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), which reveals itself best between the months of September through mid-April since the extended darkness and clear skies are the perfect conditions to see this amazing wonder. Take a tour to the Godafoss waterfalls or walk through the blissful Arctic Botanical Gardens of Lystigardurinn. Or observe the unique wildlife near this port city like humpback whales, blue whales, over 80 bird species, grey seals, and arctic foxes- just to name a few. Contact our travel specialists to start planning your ideal trip to Akueryri or the greater Iceland today!

Adventure Life has been great throughout my planning process for our up and coming Galapagos cruise. Kevin Moore, in particular, was very helpful in assisting me in making choices and providing me with options. He was also very patient, as I worked through figuring out what I really wanted in this vacation.

Mary Curry made the experience wonderful for the second time. She is the reason we returned to Adventure Life to book our second cruise on WindStar. She is tireless, well informed, pleasant to work with and totally reliable. If you offer employees bonuses, give her one! there who answered to phone to help us book shore excursions were also very good and easy to work with - and we demand rather an lot of help.
