Top-Rated Akureyri Shore Excursions

Ships dock close to the center of Akureyri, near the head of the long Eyjafjörður fjord in north Iceland. Whale-watching trips sail out on the fjord itself, the horseshoe waterfall of Goðafoss is a short drive east, and longer outings reach the lava formations, craters and steaming vents around Lake Mývatn.
