I recommend whale watching on a floater, taking the Diamond Circle tour, and rafting on the nearby Whitewater River. My hostel overlooked a lively street with hot dog stands (overpriced), a bakery (worth a visit), and other food shops. I stayed in a capsule bed that allowed privacy.

I'm a Workawayer, currently in Akureyri and I absolutely fell in love with Iceland. I wanna discover the nature of Iceland and I really appreciate how safe the country is. I would recommend Iceland at any time.
