Iceland · Norðurland
Whale fjords, herring towns and midnight-sun harbours
Húsavík’s bay holds more whales than anywhere in Iceland, Akureyri calls itself the northern capital, and the fishing villages between them still live by the sea. Hosts up here are sailors first, guides second — which is the point.
North Iceland deserves locals-led experiences, and we verify every host personally — which takes longer than scraping listings, and is the entire point. Know someone who hosts here (or is it you)?
