Akureyri, Iceland Port Reviews

Must see waterfall and lava pits.

This was an after thought. Got cheap Air fare to fly back to the states!! We wish now we would have stayed 5 days here!!! Fantastic!! The water is great. Blue Lagoon??? Everyone has to go!! You will not regret this experience!! The people here are super nice and food was over generous in size. We will be coming back!!!

We had a return visit and enjoyed the company of Helmut Hinrichsen, the guide took us to his patch for Birds of the North. This year we saw all the birds in breeding plumage. Some guests had walking difficulties a few had wheelchairs. unfortunately, this is IceLand, the ground is very uneven and falling can happen, (I am a witness to that last year I fell on the uneven path), and needed help to get up, I was on my back and my head was close to the water which was a fast flowing stream. So those with wheelchairs & walking sticks found the hills and uneven ground impossible. I didn't fall this year, better prepared.

The excursion to the fall was incredible but so expensive.

Waterfall and geothermal area. Not a picturesque, as we had anticipated. It's definitely worth seeing.

This was a beautiful port city. It is very small. Our excursion for whale watching was cancelled for this port because the excursion said the weather was not good.

Giving a 4 star because of a few minor faults with the tour. Slightly Larger town but still very small, did not walk around. Jewels of the North 8 hrs. left late because of other ships in port. Still had full tour returned late. Tour started with a tedious rambling 20 min ride through town with insipid babbling from a tour guide that would not keep quite for one second. This part of the tour was not mentioned in the tour description. Once that was out of the way The main sights visited including Goðafoss, Namarskard, and Dimmuborgir were excellent. Lunch at a local restaurant was carrot ginger soup and arctic char spectacular. Long day other deficiency they could have had a few short stops so passengers could get out and enjoy and or photograph scenery, especially along Lake Myvatn.

Very nice enjoyed our time there.

Godafoos Falls was absolutely stunning! A must see. The botanical garden is also beautiful.

A beautiful town on the northern coast of Iceland. Very steep hills, but worth the walk. We visited the botanical gardens, then strolled through the main part of town on our way back down.
