The Herring Guesthouse
Enjoy the holiday season in natural tranquility, surrounded by a beautiful, narrow fjord in Siglufjörður, the northernmost town of Iceland. The charming Herring Guesthouse offers accommodation with an Icelandic couple over the Christmas holiday. Guest rooms are comfortably furnished and have shared bathroom facilities. The guesthouse also offers outdoor hot pots to soak in the warm water after a busy day under the northern lights.
For the Blue Lagoon:
Note that the Blue Lagoon needs to be pre-booked well in advance so due to the busy season over the holidays we might need to adjust the itinerary and arrange for it on day 1 or day 5.
The minimum age requirement for children at the Blue Lagoon is 2-years-old. It is mandatory for children ages 2- to 8-years-old to wear inflatable armbands in the lagoon. These are provided free of charge. Please note that only two (2) children under the age of 10 can be admitted into the lagoon per guardian.
Note:
If you wish to extend or shorten your stay, or arrive on a different date, please contact us. We are happy to customise your holiday to your preferences with additional day tours or extra nights in Reykjavik, Akureyri, Siglufjörður or other locations in Iceland.
Please be advised that daylight is limited in Iceland during the winter months, with 4-5 hours of daylight from December to January. However, fresh snowfall often gives the appearance of more light, and it is common that houses, streets and businesses are lit up with Christmas lights, so don't fear that you will be travelling in complete darkness.
Currency rate
All bookings are charged in Icelandic Króna (ISK), the official currency of Iceland. Prices displayed in other currencies are indicative only and based on the daily exchange rate as issued by the Central bank of Iceland. Therefore, conversions from ISK to other currencies will fluctuate from day to day.
