Explore East Iceland in depth during your cruise ship stop to Seyðisfjörður. This tour is perfect for those who want to see more of Iceland than just its coastline, and to explore a wealth of natural and cultural sites within a day.The tour begins at the port of the beautiful town of Seyðisfjörður in east Iceland, renowned for its quaint buildings, dramatic surrounding mountains and spectacular views over the fjord. Here, your friendly guide will gather your group, before taking you into the stunning landscapes of east Iceland.Your first stop is the small town of Fellbær, which overlooks the scenic lake of Lagarfljót. This body of water is popular among birdwatchers and those who enjoy fishing, and made all the more fascinating due to its folklore. From 1345 to the present day, rumours have existed of people claiming to see a terrible, venom-spewing monster called the Lagarfljót Wyrm breaking the lake’s surface. This legend is five hundred years older than that of the Loch Ness Monster, and has fascinated cryptozoologists the world over.By the lake is the largest town of the region, Egilsstaðir, which you will see briefly before heading on to Skriðuklaustur, an archaeological site that, from 1493 to 1552, was a monastery. A beautiful estate now sits by the ruins, which throughout summer is home to many cultural exhibitions. You’ll have lunch in this lovely setting before moving on to the largest power station in Iceland, Kárahnjúkar. Iceland gets the vast majority of its electricity from hydroelectric dams, and at Kárahnjúkar, you can see how this process works and learn about the country’s renewable energy.Your next site contrasts dramatically with this manmade marvel; Hallormsstaðaskogar is Iceland’s largest and first national forest, and a haven for the country’s flora and fauna. Birdwatchers in particular will delight at a stroll through here, as many species nest in the trees or live around the lakes and rivers.Finally, you will head to Gufufoss, a beautiful waterfall nestled in a narrow canyon. What makes this feature particularly unique is that it is somewhat hidden by the surrounding cliffs, requiring a short hike to reach and admire in all its glory. As east Iceland is little-visited compared to many other parts of the country, you’ll find Gufufoss far less busy than falls such as Gullfoss in the southwest and Dettifoss in the north, allowing you to enjoy it in peace.With these amazing cultural and natural sites explored, your guide will whisk you back to the port in Seyðisfjörður in good time for your departure.Don’t miss this immersive tour around east Iceland, tailored for cruise ship passengers.

Enjoy the nature and culture of north Iceland with this tour tailored to those arriving to Akureyri by cruise ship. This excursion is perfect for travellers seeking a unique experience in this beautiful part of the country. This experience will begin shortly after you arrive at Akureyri’s beautiful port, where your guide will meet you and your group. From there, you will set out into the beautiful landscapes of north Iceland towards your first destination of the day, Goðafoss Waterfall. This feature is incredibly beautiful and can be admired from many angles; it is best known, however, for its fascinating history.Back in 1000 AD, under threat of invasion from the newly devout Norway, Iceland abandoned its belief in the Old Norse Gods and accepted Christianity as the official religion of the Commonwealth. To symbolise and cement this change, the Lawspeaker of the time threw idols of the pagan deities - of Þór and Óðin, for example - into the rapids here. This explains the translation of Goðafoss’ name; it means ‘the Waterfall of the Gods’.From here, you will head to a lesser-known but no less spectacular waterfall, Aldeyjarfoss, which sits just before the northern edges of the Icelandic Highlands. While this feature does not have as interesting a history as its neighbour, it is renowned for the perfectly formed hexagonal basalt columns that surround it.After these two beautiful natural sites, you’ll head to Kaffi Kú, or the Cowshed Café, at Garður farm by the fjord of Eyjafjörður for a bite to eat. This is a unique location, as the excellent restaurant has glass viewing points where you can overlook the animals and a monitor screen where you can observe the workings of the farm, such as the milking of the cows. After you have eaten, you are welcome to head to the barn to meet some of the adorable calves and to have a little wander around the surrounding countryside.Once you and your group are well-fed and acquainted with the animals, you’ll head to the Christmas Garden and Christmas House, just on the outskirts of Akureyri, where the Yuletide is celebrated year-round. Here, you can find (and buy) festive decorations from around the world, browse local handicrafts, eat treats usually saved until December, listen to Christmas music, climb a fairytale tower and explore the tranquil gardens.With these natural and cultural sites explored and enjoyed, your guide will whisk you back to the port in Akureyri, in good time for your departure.Make the most of your cruise ship stop in North Iceland with this exciting, family-friendly tour.

See some of the most amazing sceneries of Iceland in one day on this specially designed Shore Excursion tour for Cruisers.  This is a 10hrs tour but can be cut shorter depending on departure of the ship.Our first stop on the Golden Circle is the National Park Thingvellir with its geological and historical wonders.Thingvellir is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1986. This has always been very important place for the Icelanders. Here is where Viking settlers established the first parliament in the world, called Althing in the year 930 AD. This was a Viking-style parliament where chieftains from all corners of the island came together for the ruling of the country, to make decisions and settle arguments. Not only the chieftains came here for two weeks every summer, they had followers who would join them. The public came as well for trading goods and livestock, changing gossip, solving problems and disputes. People came to meet other people, learn what was going on in the country, making marriage arrangements, take part in sporting games such as horse-racing, wrestling, football and more. This was also a feast of eating and drinking, singing and dancing. A festival that no one wanted to miss out on. Thingvellir National Park is a unique place between the North American and the Euro-Asian continental plates. It is a valley constantly being stretched and broken up as you will clearly see by the enormous cracks in the surface of the earth. Next stop is the Geysir Geothermal Park.  The hot spring Strokkur shoots boiling water high in the air every 5 minutes or so.  The breathtaking Golden Waterfall cascades 35m in 3 steps in to a great canyon. We stop where you can walk out to platforms, having a grand view over this glorious waterfall. Walking down the steps, you stand on the edge of the deep canyon with a spray of glacial water from the waterfall in your face.We now whisk comfortably towards the South Coast, with its beautiful white glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull, the steep cliffs of the South Coast mountain range with waterfalls cascading in a 60m drop down from the mountains. Seljalandsfoss is a tall waterfall you can walk behind. This is a very unique experience. Under the ice-cap of the Glaciers are dormant volcanos. When they erupt and melt its way through the glacier, we get this powdery ash in the air. We all remember 2010 when ash from Eyjafjallajökull grounded all airplanes in Europe for 3 weeks. On this journey you will notice dramatic changes in the landscape as we travel through rough lava-fields and luscious farmlands in a smooth mini-bus. You will see cattle, sheep and the world-known Icelandic Viking-horse. You will see canyons, mountains, glaciers, huge cracks in the earth’s surface as we cross over between the tectonic plates, waterfalls, hills, lakes, black sandy beaches, volcanos and vast wilderness. This is a Shore Excursion tour designed for you if you have only one day in Iceland.

Visit what many consider Iceland’s most spectacular waterfall on this trip custom made for those arriving to the Westfjords by cruise ship. This is the perfect way to regain your land-legs and fully immerse yourself into one of Iceland’s most remote and beautiful regions.This tour begins when you are picked up from the harbour at Ísafjörður, the largest settlement of the Westfjords.

You will stop plenty of times en route to your main destination to photograph and marvel over the awe-inspiring land and seascapes.Keep your eyes out for nature as you travel and make stops, as the Westfjords has a wealth of birdlife, many seals living on its shores, and hundreds of whales in its fjords.The waterfall you are heading to is called Dynjandi, which means ‘Thunderous’; when you first look upon it, you will be left in no doubt as to why. At over 100 metres tall, this incredible feature tumbles down what appear to be a series of steep steps descending down a cliff face, casting off white spray. As it falls, the waterfall doubles in width, from 30 metres at the top to 60 at its base. Many say it looks like it was lifted straight from the pages of a fantasy novel.You will have plenty of time to approach Dynjandi. To reach the closest viewing platform requires a short walk, but along the path are many other smaller waterfalls, each with their own beauty and charm.On your return journey, you will stop to stretch your legs and enjoy the views as you did on your way, before being returned to your cruise ship.Dynjandi is one of Iceland’s greatest features, and the Westfjords one of its most beautiful regions, but due to their distance from Reykjavík, they are little visited. This is an opportunity those in the area should therefore not miss.Explore the remote Westfjords and witness a natural landmark you will never forget to make the most of your cruise’s stop in Iceland.

Explore East Iceland in depth during your cruise ship stop to Seyðisfjörður. This tour is perfect for those who want to see more of Iceland than just its coastline, and to explore a wealth of natural and cultural sites within a day.The tour begins at the port of the beautiful town of Seyðisfjörður in east Iceland, renowned for its quaint buildings, dramatic surrounding mountains and spectacular views over the fjord. Here, your friendly guide will gather your group, before taking you into the stunning landscapes of east Iceland.Your first stop is the small town of Fellbær, which overlooks the scenic lake of Lagarfljót. This body of water is popular among birdwatchers and those who enjoy fishing, and made all the more fascinating due to its folklore. From 1345 to the present day, rumours have existed of people claiming to see a terrible, venom-spewing monster called the Lagarfljót Wyrm breaking the lake’s surface. This legend is five hundred years older than that of the Loch Ness Monster, and has fascinated cryptozoologists the world over.By the lake is the largest town of the region, Egilsstaðir, which you will see briefly before heading on to Skriðuklaustur, an archaeological site that, from 1493 to 1552, was a monastery. A beautiful estate now sits by the ruins, which throughout summer is home to many cultural exhibitions. You’ll have lunch in this lovely setting before moving on to the largest power station in Iceland, Kárahnjúkar. Iceland gets the vast majority of its electricity from hydroelectric dams, and at Kárahnjúkar, you can see how this process works and learn about the country’s renewable energy.Your next site contrasts dramatically with this manmade marvel; Hallormsstaðaskogar is Iceland’s largest and first national forest, and a haven for the country’s flora and fauna. Birdwatchers in particular will delight at a stroll through here, as many species nest in the trees or live around the lakes and rivers.Finally, you will head to Gufufoss, a beautiful waterfall nestled in a narrow canyon. What makes this feature particularly unique is that it is somewhat hidden by the surrounding cliffs, requiring a short hike to reach and admire in all its glory. As east Iceland is little-visited compared to many other parts of the country, you’ll find Gufufoss far less busy than falls such as Gullfoss in the southwest and Dettifoss in the north, allowing you to enjoy it in peace.With these amazing cultural and natural sites explored, your guide will whisk you back to the port in Seyðisfjörður in good time for your departure.Don’t miss this immersive tour around east Iceland, tailored for cruise ship passengers.

From there, you will set out into the beautiful landscapes of north Iceland towards your first destination of the day, Goðafoss Waterfall. This feature is incredibly beautiful and can be admired from many angles; it is best known, however, for its fascinating history.Back in 1000 AD, under threat of invasion from the newly devout Norway, Iceland abandoned its belief in the Old Norse Gods and accepted Christianity as the official religion of the Commonwealth. To symbolise and cement this change, the Lawspeaker of the time threw idols of the pagan deities - of Þór and Óðin, for example - into the rapids here. This explains the translation of Goðafoss’ name; it means ‘the Waterfall of the Gods’.From here, you will head to a lesser-known but no less spectacular waterfall, Aldeyjarfoss, which sits just before the northern edges of the Icelandic Highlands. While this feature does not have as interesting a history as its neighbour, it is renowned for the perfectly formed hexagonal basalt columns that surround it.After these two beautiful natural sites, you’ll head to Kaffi Kú, or the Cowshed Café, at Garður farm by the fjord of Eyjafjörður for a bite to eat.

See some of the most amazing sceneries of Iceland in one day on this specially designed Shore Excursion tour for Cruisers.  This is a 10hrs tour but can be cut shorter depending on departure of the ship.Our first stop on the Golden Circle is the National Park Thingvellir with its geological and historical wonders.Thingvellir is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1986. This has always been very important place for the Icelanders. Here is where Viking settlers established the first parliament in the world, called Althing in the year 930 AD. This was a Viking-style parliament where chieftains from all corners of the island came together for the ruling of the country, to make decisions and settle arguments. Not only the chieftains came here for two weeks every summer, they had followers who would join them. The public came as well for trading goods and livestock, changing gossip, solving problems and disputes. People came to meet other people, learn what was going on in the country, making marriage arrangements, take part in sporting games such as horse-racing, wrestling, football and more. This was also a feast of eating and drinking, singing and dancing. A festival that no one wanted to miss out on. Thingvellir National Park is a unique place between the North American and the Euro-Asian continental plates. It is a valley constantly being stretched and broken up as you will clearly see by the enormous cracks in the surface of the earth. Next stop is the Geysir Geothermal Park.  The hot spring Strokkur shoots boiling water high in the air every 5 minutes or so.  The breathtaking Golden Waterfall cascades 35m in 3 steps in to a great canyon. We stop where you can walk out to platforms, having a grand view over this glorious waterfall. Walking down the steps, you stand on the edge of the deep canyon with a spray of glacial water from the waterfall in your face.We now whisk comfortably towards the South Coast, with its beautiful white glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull, the steep cliffs of the South Coast mountain range with waterfalls cascading in a 60m drop down from the mountains. Seljalandsfoss is a tall waterfall you can walk behind. This is a very unique experience. Under the ice-cap of the Glaciers are dormant volcanos. When they erupt and melt its way through the glacier, we get this powdery ash in the air. We all remember 2010 when ash from Eyjafjallajökull grounded all airplanes in Europe for 3 weeks. On this journey you will notice dramatic changes in the landscape as we travel through rough lava-fields and luscious farmlands in a smooth mini-bus. You will see cattle, sheep and the world-known Icelandic Viking-horse. You will see canyons, mountains, glaciers, huge cracks in the earth’s surface as we cross over between the tectonic plates, waterfalls, hills, lakes, black sandy beaches, volcanos and vast wilderness. This is a Shore Excursion tour designed for you if you have only one day in Iceland.

Visit what many consider Iceland’s most spectacular waterfall on this trip custom made for those arriving to the Westfjords by cruise ship. This is the perfect way to regain your land-legs and fully immerse yourself into one of Iceland’s most remote and beautiful regions.This tour begins when you are picked up from the harbour at Ísafjörður, the largest settlement of the Westfjords. From here, you will be guided in a minibus south, through this remote and spectacular region.The Westfjords are known for their towering, sheer, flat topped mountains, the hundreds of waterfalls that stream from their sides, and awe-inspiring ocean views. You will stop plenty of times en route to your main destination to photograph and marvel over the awe-inspiring land and seascapes.Keep your eyes out for nature as you travel and make stops, as the Westfjords has a wealth of birdlife, many seals living on its shores, and hundreds of whales in its fjords.The waterfall you are heading to is called Dynjandi, which means ‘Thunderous’; when you first look upon it, you will be left in no doubt as to why. At over 100 metres tall, this incredible feature tumbles down what appear to be a series of steep steps descending down a cliff face, casting off white spray. As it falls, the waterfall doubles in width, from 30 metres at the top to 60 at its base. Many say it looks like it was lifted straight from the pages of a fantasy novel.You will have plenty of time to approach Dynjandi. To reach the closest viewing platform requires a short walk, but along the path are many other smaller waterfalls, each with their own beauty and charm.On your return journey, you will stop to stretch your legs and enjoy the views as you did on your way, before being returned to your cruise ship.Dynjandi is one of Iceland’s greatest features, and the Westfjords one of its most beautiful regions, but due to their distance from Reykjavík, they are little visited. This is an opportunity those in the area should therefore not miss.Explore the remote Westfjords and witness a natural landmark you will never forget to make the most of your cruise’s stop in Iceland.

See some of the most amazing sceneries of Iceland in one day on this specially designed Shore Excursion tour for Cruisers.  This is a 10hrs tour but can be cut shorter depending on departure of the ship.Our first stop on the Golden Circle is the National Park Thingvellir with its geological and historical wonders.Thingvellir is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1986. This has always been very important place for the Icelanders. Here is where Viking settlers established the first parliament in the world, called Althing in the year 930 AD. This was a Viking-style parliament where chieftains from all corners of the island came together for the ruling of the country, to make decisions and settle arguments. Not only the chieftains came here for two weeks every summer, they had followers who would join them. The public came as well for trading goods and livestock, changing gossip, solving problems and disputes. People came to meet other people, learn what was going on in the country, making marriage arrangements, take part in sporting games such as horse-racing, wrestling, football and more. This was also a feast of eating and drinking, singing and dancing. A festival that no one wanted to miss out on. Thingvellir National Park is a unique place between the North American and the Euro-Asian continental plates. It is a valley constantly being stretched and broken up as you will clearly see by the enormous cracks in the surface of the earth. Next stop is the Geysir Geothermal Park.  The hot spring Strokkur shoots boiling water high in the air every 5 minutes or so.  The breathtaking Golden Waterfall cascades 35m in 3 steps in to a great canyon. We stop where you can walk out to platforms, having a grand view over this glorious waterfall. Walking down the steps, you stand on the edge of the deep canyon with a spray of glacial water from the waterfall in your face.We now whisk comfortably towards the South Coast, with its beautiful white glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull, the steep cliffs of the South Coast mountain range with waterfalls cascading in a 60m drop down from the mountains. Seljalandsfoss is a tall waterfall you can walk behind. This is a very unique experience. Under the ice-cap of the Glaciers are dormant volcanos. When they erupt and melt its way through the glacier, we get this powdery ash in the air. We all remember 2010 when ash from Eyjafjallajökull grounded all airplanes in Europe for 3 weeks. On this journey you will notice dramatic changes in the landscape as we travel through rough lava-fields and luscious farmlands in a smooth mini-bus. You will see cattle, sheep and the world-known Icelandic Viking-horse. You will see canyons, mountains, glaciers, huge cracks in the earth’s surface as we cross over between the tectonic plates, waterfalls, hills, lakes, black sandy beaches, volcanos and vast wilderness. This is a Shore Excursion tour designed for you if you have only one day in Iceland.

Visit what many consider Iceland’s most spectacular waterfall on this trip custom made for those arriving to the Westfjords by cruise ship. This is the perfect way to regain your land-legs and fully immerse yourself into one of Iceland’s most remote and beautiful regions.This tour begins when you are picked up from the harbour at Ísafjörður, the largest settlement of the Westfjords. From here, you will be guided in a minibus south, through this remote and spectacular region.The Westfjords are known for their towering, sheer, flat topped mountains, the hundreds of waterfalls that stream from their sides, and awe-inspiring ocean views. You will stop plenty of times en route to your main destination to photograph and marvel over the awe-inspiring land and seascapes.Keep your eyes out for nature as you travel and make stops, as the Westfjords has a wealth of birdlife, many seals living on its shores, and hundreds of whales in its fjords.The waterfall you are heading to is called Dynjandi, which means ‘Thunderous’; when you first look upon it, you will be left in no doubt as to why. At over 100 metres tall, this incredible feature tumbles down what appear to be a series of steep steps descending down a cliff face, casting off white spray. As it falls, the waterfall doubles in width, from 30 metres at the top to 60 at its base. Many say it looks like it was lifted straight from the pages of a fantasy novel.You will have plenty of time to approach Dynjandi. To reach the closest viewing platform requires a short walk, but along the path are many other smaller waterfalls, each with their own beauty and charm.On your return journey, you will stop to stretch your legs and enjoy the views as you did on your way, before being returned to your cruise ship.Dynjandi is one of Iceland’s greatest features, and the Westfjords one of its most beautiful regions, but due to their distance from Reykjavík, they are little visited. This is an opportunity those in the area should therefore not miss.Explore the remote Westfjords and witness a natural landmark you will never forget to make the most of your cruise’s stop in Iceland.
