Hofsós Infinity Pool & Siglufjörður Herring Capital Scenic Drive

Iceland's most dramatic infinity pool — perched on a cliff edge over Skagafjörður fjord — paired with a winding Arctic coastal drive to Siglufjörður, the charming former herring capital of the world. Two bucket-list moments in one unforgettable day.

What to expect

Departing the pier in a premium vehicle, your guide traces the eastern shore of Skagafjörður to Hofsós, a tiny village with a world-class geothermal pool cantilevered over the fjord. After your soak, the drive continues through a dramatic mountain tunnel to Siglufjörður — a brightly painted fishing town tucked at the end of a narrow fjord. The award-winning Herring Era Museum reveals the wild 20th-century boom that made this one of Norway's richest fishing grounds. Lunch at the harbourside restaurant features freshly caught Arctic char.

Good to know

Hofsós is 45 min from port; Siglufjörður adds another 40 min. Allow a full 6–7 hours for the complete loop — confirm your all-aboard time. Pack a swimsuit and towel for the pool. The mountain road to Siglufjörður can be snowy in spring/autumn; a 4WD private vehicle is recommended.
