Such a beautiful city! I would recommend at least a day to look around precruise. E sure to check out the fish and chips cart, hot dog stand and braun and co bakery. Also explore the main church in the city, the rainbow road. Lastly one thing I cannot recommend enough is flyover Iceland, what an amazing immersive experience into all of the Icelandic landscapes. The people here are all so kind and will help if you need, crime is almost nonexistent so no need to wear your backpack in the front for pickpockets here. As for hotels, the Hilton Nordic’s was our choice, very close to the port and was a half hour walk to town. Beautiful and clean rooms. An amazing place to see.

Absolutely loved Reykjavik! I think I could live there. We had an overnight here so we did an excursion the first day and just enjoyed the city the second day. The excursion we did, Glacier Walk and Waterfalls was unbelievable - driving on a glacier and going into a glacier - amazing! The tour was in monster SUVs with special tires which could go on any terrain - which we did. I won't spoil the surprises. Great guides! Another community wide event was going on the second day and we fully immersed and had a great time!

If you are looking for a Golden Circle excursion when we are in port on August 12 at a reasonable price and one that picks us up at the ship and makes sure we are back in time, check out GEOIceland.com. When you select the tour for Aug 12 and enter the discount code KONINGSDAM you will get a 10 percent discount and picked up early at 8 am and back at 4 pm. So we won't miss our departure time. I checked quite a few tour companies and this is the best price and time. They take us in a 19 passenger Mercedes van. They also get great reviews on Trip Advisor.

We decided to rent a vehicle and do the golden circle ourselves. Best.Decision.Ever. We never could have hit all the big stops if we were in a big tour group. It was just drop dead beautiful in July. I’ve been on A LOT of cruises, this port is by far my favorite. I absolutely loved Iceland.

Big city. Fun to walk around the town. We did the HAL excursion, Best of the Golden Circle: Thingvellir, Gullfoss & Geysir, which was excellent. We saw a lot! The overnight stay permitted us to take another excursion with HAL called Glacier Safari by 4-wheel Drive & a Walk in a Glacier Cave. It was such an unusual excursion. We saw snow falling on the top of the glacier. You need warm clothing for this tour.
