Join a sightseeing tour of the beautiful natural attractions in Iceland's northern region. This is the perfect day trip of lava fields, waterfalls, astounding natural beauty and hot springs in the North of Iceland, not to be missed by any nature lover making a short stop during a cruise holiday. The tour starts shortly after your ship docks at Akureyri harbour. You'll board a minibus and head towards the magical Lake Mývatn area, first making a stop at the impressive and historical Goðafoss waterfall. This 12-metre high waterfall may not be tall, but it sure is beautiful and plays a big role in the conversion to Christianity in Iceland's history. You'll continue towards the gorgeous Lake Mývatn, known for its rich flora and fauna. First up, is a stop at the otherworldly Skútustaðagígar Pseudo Craters. Iceland is known for being a land of both ice and fire, and these craters were formed through volcanic activity, through explosions that occurred when flowing hot lava encountered the cold water in the lake. Nearby there are the hauntingly beautiful Dimmuborgir lava fields, sometimes called 'The Entryway to Hell'. This location is full of lava pillars and outlandish rock formations, rich with mythology, folklore, and ghoulish walking trails. You'll also explore the beautiful cave of Grjótagjá, where a crystal blue hot spring can be found on the rift of the American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Warning, the water is too hot to enter, although a few years ago the heat was stable enough for Jon Snow and Ygritte to warm their bodies in a fiery scene from Game of Thrones. Your final stop by Lake Mývatn is the geothermal area of Námaskarð or simply 'Hverir', meaning 'Hot Springs'. Here you'll find countless boiling mud pools, bubbling hot springs, steaming fumaroles and smelly sulfur pits. Along the way, a number of photographic stops will be made, according to weather and visibility. Finally, you'll be returned to the harbour in Akureyri, in time for the departure of your cruise ship.  Make the most of your cruise ship stop in Akureyri town and join this fun-filled tour now.

Join this small group shore excursion and discover Iceland's stunning South Coast on an adventure designed specifically for cruise ship passengers. You will be collected straight from your ship at the port and returned after the tour with a guaranteed hour to spare before you're scheduled to sail. On this popular day tour, you will be exposed to many natural and cultural Icelandic attractions. You can look forward to a scenic journey through picturesque landscapes featuring black sand beaches, glacier views, beautiful waterfalls and quaint villages. The tour will be packed with endless wonders, and Skógafoss waterfall, Reynisfjara beach and Sólheimajökull glacier are among the highlights. The pace of the tour is relaxed as there is only space for a total of 19-passengers on the bus. A smaller group size allows for more time at each attraction and more quality time with your guide to answer any questions you may have. Once you have been picked up from the port, you will be whisked away to begin your journey along Iceland's South Coast. Your expert local guide will inform you along the way about the geology, history, and nature of the area. The first stop will be the village Hveragerði where you will have a chance to get some snacks for the road. After approximately 2-hours on the road, you will reach the first natural wonder, Seljalandsfoss waterfall. This beautiful cascade falls in front of a large cavern which allows visitors to walk behind the falls in the summertime although it is sometimes closed in the winter due to ice. The next stop is another epic waterfall called Skógafoss which falls in a broad curtain on a largely flat plateau so visitors to the falls can get quite close and admire the rainbows in the mist on sunny days. As you make your way along the coastline, you will stop at Sólheimajökull Glacier, the village of Vík and Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. You will enjoy a lunch break at one of these locations, but the meal is not included in the price. Many of the beautiful landscapes of the South Coast are surrounded by mountainous and glacier views providing exceptional photo opportunities. The tour ends with a relaxing drive back to your cruise ship in Reykjavík. Discover Iceland's stunning South Coast in luxury and sign-up for this exciting adventure.

Step off of your cruise ship and hop onto a minibus to explore one of Iceland’s most treasured sightseeing routes; the Golden Circle. This tour is the perfect opportunity to see some of the most incredible natural attractions in Iceland with an expert guide who will not only introduce you to the sights but pick you up and drop you off at your cruise ship. Select your ship from the pick-up list, and your guide will pick you up from the dock as you disembark from your cruise ship. From Reykjavík, you will travel to your first stop on the Golden Circle route; Þingvellir National Park. Þingvellir is a fascinating area for many reasons. The park is characterised mainly by the ridge that runs through it which is made up of the exposed Eurasian and North American tectonic plates as they pull apart from one another. Þingvellir was also the setting for the formation of the Icelandic parliament, the Alþingi, back in 930 AD which makes it the longest ongoing parliament in the world. Walk between continents and take in the marvellous views and culture of the region. You will then move onto the mesmerising Geysir geothermal area where you will encounter steaming water spill over the surface of the earth creating many vivid colours thanks to the minerals in the water. You will watch the geyser, Strokkur shoot boiling water high up into the air approximately every 5-10 minutes. You will then move onto the third and final official stop of the Golden Circle, Gullfoss waterfall. This brilliant natural feature is the second most powerful of its kind in Europe, and the water here cascades over two tiers into a deep canyon. On sunny days, it’s often possible to see a rainbow in the waterfall’s mist. On your return journey to your ship, there will be an extra stop to Kerið crater famous for its vivid colouration and brilliant blue lake that resides within it. Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to make the most of your cruise stop in Iceland. Check availability by choosing a date.

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 4x4 SUV. 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.

Get to know Iceland with a private tour of the Golden Circle where you’ll see spectacular nature, erupting geyser and a magnificent waterfall. Those wanting to travel at their own pace, as well as tailor a tour to their own interest, need look no further than this tour.  You’ll be picked up at your Reykjavík accommodations in the morning by a luxurious vehicle that will whisk you out of the city to your first adventure. If you are arriving in the country via cruise ship, you can also be picked up at Reykjavík harbour’s cruise ship port.  Your first stop of the day is Þingvellir National Park, the birthplace of Iceland’s parliament. It is here where Viking settlers would gather to create the laws of the land and settle disputes. Þingvellir’s geology is also fascinating as the park is not located on the Eurasian nor the North American tectonic plate, but in a rift valley between. The shifting of the plates causes visible cracks and canyons in the region, some of which are filled with crystal clear meltwater from a nearby glacier. Next up is another historical location, Skálholt church. From 1056 until 1785, Skálholt was Iceland’s cultural and political centre. Today, the region is famed for a beautiful cathedral, the tomb of bishops, a museum, and a 13th Century tunnel which leads out to an excavation site. From there, you’ll visit the erupting geysers at Geysir geothermal area. There, you’ll see the mighty Strokkur erupt every 5-10 minutes, reaching heights of around 15-20 metres. So remember to bring your camera as a selfie with an erupting geyser is a must in Iceland! The area is also filled with bubbling mud pools and hot springs which you’ll be able to explore to your heart’s desire. Last, but certainly not least, is ‘the golden waterfall’ Gullfoss. It is here where beauty and power meet as freezing water from the glacier Langjökull rushes forth before plummeting into an ancient canyon, creating this two-tiered cascade in the process.  Experience the best of Iceland with this private tour of the Golden Circle. Check availability by choosing a date.

See some of the most beautiful spots in Iceland such as the waterfalls Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, the black sands of Reynisfjara beach and Sólheimasandur desert, mighty glaciers and picturesque villages. Those looking for flexibility and create their own adventure should book this tour now. The tour starts in the morning when you are picked up from your accommodations or, if you are a cruise ship passenger, from Reykjavík harbour’s cruise ship port. You will then be whisked away to the South’s countryside in a luxurious and comfortable vehicle. The first stop is the beautiful waterfall Seljalandsfoss. This unique cascade falls over a small cave, making it possible to encircle the torrent of water fully. However, you will get drenched if you do this, so make sure you bring waterproof clothing. Next up is another picturesque waterfall, Skógafoss. This one has a more classic shape as it falls 60 metres, creating a great mist as it hits the rocks below. Due to the amount of spray the cascade produces, a rainbow is continuously present on sunny days.  You will then travel through the black desert of Sólheimasandur on your way to the charming village of Vík. This little town is situated right on the edge of Iceland’s most famous beach, Reynisfjara. You’ll have a chance to visit the beach and view the strange, hexagonal cliffs that surround it as well as the giant Reynisdrangar sea stack that rise out of the ocean like terrifying trolls. On your way back, you will drive through the verdant farmlands so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for grazing Icelandic horses and sheep. Two majestic glaciers will look over you this entire journey; the infamous Eyjafjallajökull and the equally spectacular Mýrdalsjökull.  At the end of a great day, you will head back to Reykjavík, arriving early in the evening so you will have plenty of time to explore the downtown area, with its museums, cafés and shops, before dinner. Bring along your favourite people on this private tour and see the waterfalls, glaciers and black sands of the South Coast. Check availability by choosing a date.

Join this tour and experience one of the most remarkable wonders of Iceland’s Westfjords; the massive and majestic Dynjandi waterfall. This is the perfect expedition for those travelling by cruise to the town of Ísafjörður who would like to see Dynjandi waterfall without the hassle of renting a car and driving the mountainous passage there yourself. Your expert local guide will pick you up directly from your cruise ship at the Ísafjörður cruise ship port. From Ísafjörður, you will travel into the heart of the wild and wonderful Westfjords, a region famous for its deep and dramatic fjords and astonishing landscapes. Watch from your comfortable tour bus as you pass through stunning scenery to reach the destination of this tour; Dynjandi waterfall, the largest of its kind in the Westfjords. Dynjandi falls from the great height of 100-metres in a trapezoidal fashion which has lead to people likening it to a bridal gown. The name ‘Dynjandi’ means thundering, and when you stand at the base of the falls, you can understand why as the noise generated by the cascade fills the whole valley. If you should choose, it’s possible to hike to the top of Dynjandi. The waterfall is made up of seven distinct waterfalls that fall over seven tiers, and each one has its unique charm and views out into the surrounding fjords with naturally the best views being from the summit. Before heading back to the capital of the Westfjords, Ísafjörður, your group will make a stop at the settlement of Hrafnseyri. This tiny township has a café and traditional turf houses to admire while you enjoy some refreshments in front of epic coastal views. You will then be driven back to Ísafjörður and back to your cruise ship. Don’t miss this opportunity to make the most of your cruise landing in the Westfjords. Check availability by choosing a date.

Get to know the backcountry roads of the Icelandic Westfjords on this sightseeing circle route of Svalvogar. Anyone staying in the Westfjords looking to experience the desolate beauty of this rural region should not let this opportunity pass by. Your adventure begins in the town of Ísafjörður, where you will hit the road on a Super Jeep with your local guide and start your drive to the fjord of Dýrafjörður, surrounded by the majestic mountains Sandafell and Mýrafell on each side. Your journey then continues, as you brave a winding rocky mountain road, legendarily paved by a single man and his son with a 70 horsepower bulldozer in the 1960s. The sights on hand include a cluster of abandoned farms, but the Westfjords were amongst the very first areas settled by Viking Age explorers. You will also behold a spectacular mountain range often referred to by the locals as the Alps of the Westfjords. With a peak of 998 metres, Kaldbakur is the tallest mountain in the region. While most of the Westfjords mountains are characterised by flat tops, Kaldbakur’s is tall and pointed, hence the comparison to the most extensive mountain range in Europe. Your adventure continues to Arnarfjörður, the second biggest fjord of the Westfjords, dotted with waterfalls, dormant volcanoes and scenic bays. You will then drive along the steep and narrow road of Hrafnseyrarheiði, a stunning heathland boasting flat-topped mountains, so remember to pack your camera for all the amazing photo opportunities. Then, it is time to make your way back to Ísafjörður, crisscrossing along the rugged fjords that you have come to know and love throughout your journey. The Svalvogar circle route might be one of the most celebrated routes of the country regarding their natural sights and sceneries, but these roads cannot be ventured with a regular vehicle.
