Top-Rated Reykjavik Shore Excursions

Larger ships use the Skarfabakki terminal a few kilometers east of downtown, while smaller ones berth at the Old Harbour near the center. Whale-watching and puffin boats leave from the Old Harbour, and active day trips go to the Golden Circle waterfalls and geysers, lava tube caves, snorkeling in the rift at Þingvellir or the geothermal lagoons on the Reykjanes peninsula.
