The Arctic Coast Way (Norðurstrandarleið) runs 800 km from Hvammstangi in the west to Bakkafjörður in the east, winding between 21 villages and four islands along Iceland’s north coast. The Arctic Coast Way is the first official touring route in Iceland for those who want to discover unspoiled landscapes and off-the-beaten-track adventure along the northern perimeter of the country. You will discover some of the best bird watching places in Iceland and boat tours will take you to unforgettable encounters with friendly whales and charming seals.
On this tour, you will combine a short stay in Iceland’s capital and then drive to Havammstangi where the Arctic Coast Way starts. You will then follow the coastline, stopping off at several points along the way and giving plenty of opportunities for exploring and wildlife watching, before flying back from Akureyri to the UK via Reykjavik.
