Discover the most beautiful landscapes on the Icelandic west coast during an 8-day PONANT cruise.
On the edge of the Arctic, between vast glaciers, vertiginous fjords, volcanoes and boiling geysers, Iceland offers a kaleidoscope of wild and romantic landscapes.
You will board the ship in Reykjavík, the world’s northernmost capital city. With its houses with colourful roofs and its lake that is home to countless ducks, the city offers a picture-postcard setting. It also boasts numerous cultural treasures, particularly in the field of contemporary art, with the Reykjavík Art Museum.
The first port of call on your cruise: the bay of Grundarfjordur, right near Kirkjufell. This stunning cone-shaped mountain possesses a unique charm and this will be an opportunity to take some beautiful photos.
Your ship will then reach Grimsey, a small, hard-to-reach island where, in certain places, the volcanic rock forms magnificent basalt columns. Seabirds reign here.
Finally, you will discover Heimaey. This is the only inhabited island in the Westman archipelago. It is an exceptional place composed of volcanoes and almost-desert landscapes, where fishing is the main food source.

Ports of Call & Excursions
30 July 2023 - Reykjavík
Embarkation 30/7/2023 From 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Departure 30/7/2023 at 9:00 pm
Iceland’s capital stretches along the edge of a vast bay in the west of the country. Perlan, the “Pearl of Reykjavík”, a museum located on ’Oskjuhlið hill, offers a panoramic view of the lush, green landscapes. A little further, one can easily spot the signpost showing the way to the evangelical Hallgrímskirkja church, and to the historical centre where one can stroll along the Skólavördustígur and the Laugavegur, two lively streets with charming small shops. For some relaxation just outside of the city, visitors have the opportunity to visit the Reykjanes peninsula and its famous thermal lagoons of the Blue Lagoon.
31 July 2023 - Grundarfjördur
Arrival 31/7/2023 midday
Departure 31/7/2023 late afternoon
This secret boreal hideaway is located at the foot of the Kirkjufell, on Snaefellsnes peninsula. Arriving by boat means you will get a closer view of the lava-stone rock standing like a sentinel at the entrance to the bay; Grundarfjörður lies sheltered behind this cone-shaped rock. A stone’s throw from the jetty, crystal clear waters, tundra and beaches give onto the cerulean waters of Breiðafjörður. Scattered with its emerald-coloured lawns, this town, with its buildings that merge into the surrounding countryside, will most certainly win your favour.
1 August 2023 - Grímsey
Arrival 1/8/2023 early afternoon
Departure 1/8/2023 evening
Grímsey is the northernmost island of Iceland surging from the Arctic ocean, with the Arctic circle running through the island. Its contrasted contours are surprising. From Grímseyjarhreppur, the island’s only town located on the west coast, then heading due south, you can take in the beauty of the hillsides, lushly carpeted with moss and grass. On the rest of the coastline, imposing basalt cliffs inhabited by sea birds stand proud.
2 August 2023 - Akureyri
Arrival 2/8/2023 early morning
Departure 2/8/2023 mid afternoon
The elegant city of Akureyri is located very close to the Arctic circle, tucked away in the Eyjafjörður fjord. It displays a stunning palette of colours: blue waters in the harbour, bronze mountain ash on the squares and brightly-coloured houses in the historical centre. As you walk along the cobbled streets, you will come across rows of terraces with wooden furniture. A vast stairway cut into the hillside leads up to the emblematic feature of the town, namely the Akureyrarkirkja church. The very beautiful botanical garden made possible by a microclimate offers the opportunity to discover the Icelandic flora as well as plants from all over the world.
3 August 2023 - Isafjördur
Arrival 3/8/2023 early morning
Departure 3/8/2023 early afternoon
Your ship will take you to the heart of the fjords of North-West Iceland, a wild land of lost valleys and steep cliffs, where man struggles to survive. In this very isolated region we find the Isafjörður fjord, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the country, mainly for its relief, forged by many very ancient basaltic flows. The town of Isafjörður, which nestles at the back of its fjord, between imposing mountains, is a delightful little town that lives exclusively from fishing. The capital of the Western fjords, its old wooden houses bear witness to its past as a major fishing port.
4 August 2023 - Heimaey, Vestmannaeyjar
Arrival 4/8/2023 midday
Departure 4/8/2023 early evening
This land seated off the southern coast of Iceland is the largest of the Vestmann islands, and is the only inhabited island in the archipelago. The steep Edfell volcanoes and the green prairies of Herjólfsdalur offer rich contrast of nature. On the Stórhöfði road, look out over grey sand beaches and cliffs carved out by the Arctic ocean. From here, you can also see the bronze landscapes of the mountaintops. You could visit Eldheimar, an ultra-modern and interactive museum which traces the volcanic eruption has experienced Heimaey in 1973.
5 August 2023 6 August 2023 - Reykjavík
Arrival 5/8/2023 early morning
Disembarkation 6/8/2023 at 7:00 am
Iceland’s capital stretches along the edge of a vast bay in the west of the country. Perlan, the “Pearl of Reykjavík”, a museum located on ’Oskjuhlið hill, offers a panoramic view of the lush, green landscapes. A little further, one can easily spot the signpost showing the way to the evangelical Hallgrímskirkja church, and to the historical centre where one can stroll along the Skólavördustígur and the Laugavegur, two lively streets with charming small shops. For some relaxation just outside of the city, visitors have the opportunity to visit the Reykjanes peninsula and its famous thermal lagoons of the Blue Lagoon.
The Snaefellsnes peninsula
Upon leaving Grundarfjordur, your journey will take you through the several small fishing villages along the famous Snæfellsjökull glacier-capped volcano. After a stop at Djupalonssandur, take a short refreshing walk to the shore of the Atlantic Ocean.
While you drive along the roots of the volcano you may be able to see the mystical glacier, which was made popular in 1864 by the French writer Jules Verne in his novel A journey to the Centre of the Earth, where he located the entrance to the subterranean journey inside the Snæfellsjökull crater: “Here we had entered the Earth by one volcano, and we had come out by another. And this other was situated more than twelve hundred leagues from Sneffels, from that drear country of Iceland cast away on the confines of the Earth…”
Afterwards, you will pass the cliffs of Londrangar and join the tiny fishing village of Arnarstapi which offers splendid multicolour lava formations and an abundance of bird-life.
After a walk around, you will return to your ship through Budir, famous for its beautiful surroundings of black lava and its long beach of yellow sand. Continue over Frodarheidi Heath to the north coast of the peninsula, back to Grundarfjordur.
- This excursion includes walking on uneven but essentially flat terrain. We recommend you wear a wind and waterproof jacket, bring a warm pullover and wear comfortable walking shoes, as the terrain can be slippery and steep. Please note that sights may be visited in a different order.

According to availability, price per passenger.
Caves, craters & coves
An adventurous tour exploring some of the area’s best loved coastal hiking trails, coupled with an approximate 45-minute cave exploration – all under the watchful eye of the famous Snaefellsjokull glacier!
First up is a refreshing walk amongst the craters at Saxholl. The walk to the main crater takes about 30 minutes return and despite not being particularly high (approx. 300 metres/990 ft), it offers great views and a chance to walk around a volcanic crater rim and take a look inside.
Next, discover some of the beautiful coves and take an approximate 1 km (½ mi) scenic hike. Visit Djupalonssandur which is a beautiful pebbled beach located at the foot of the glacier. Take in magnificent views from the cliff tops and look out for the ancient labyrinth built by fishermen.
Then last, but certainly not least, head to the Vatnshellir cave and take a journey into the underground along a 200-metre (200 yd) lava tube (quite appropriate considering this is the exact location where Jules Verne based his famous novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth!). Follow the path of the lava flow into the cave and descend 35 metres (115 ft) below the surface to see amazing colours and lava formations. The upper section of the cave has great features and unique formations of lava statues curved on the sides. The lower part of the cave is reached by way of a long and narrow staircase that will take you deep down underground, to a place which was hidden from the outside world for thousands of years. Scientists believe Vatnshellir was created in an eruption 6,000 to 8,000 years ago.
- It is recommended to bring warm clothes and gloves, since temperature underground is 6 °C (43°F), as well as good walking/hiking shoes. Helmet and flash light will be supplied. A minimum of 10 participants is required to operate this tour.
Total : €200
According to availability, price per passenger.
Thermal bath & Godafoss
You will pass by the old town of Akureyri before crossing the fjord and heading on to Godafoss, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland. Back in AD 1000, during the meeting of the Althing, the Icelanders voted to adopt Christianity. The wooden idols of Norse mythology were then thrown into the falls in a symbolic gesture that swept away the old religion. Hence, Godafoss literally means “waterfall of the pagan gods”.
After a drive through the northern landscape you will arrive in Húsavik, where a dive into the warm water of geothermal sea baths awaits you, a very genuine wellness wonder. Enjoy this rejuvenating experience for body and soul in the natural tranquillity of the Icelandic fjords, with the view of the mountain range to the west, Skjálfandi Bay beneath the cliffs and the Arctic Circle itself on the horizon.
You will then join your coach for a one-hour drive to your ship.
- We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes, a wind and waterproof jacket and take a warm sweater. Remember to bring a towel, your swimsuit for the geothermal sea baths experience and flip-flops. There are separate changing rooms for showering at the geothermal centre. It is custom in Iceland to take a shower without bathing suits for hygienic reasons. For your personal belongings, lockers are available.
Total : €120
According to availability, price per passenger.
Whale watching experience
From the pier, follow your local guide and join your whale watching boat. After a short briefing, start your 3-hour adventure.
Iceland has quickly become known as the ‘whale watching’ capital of northern Europe’. Akureyri offers some of the best whale watching opportunities in Europe and a wide variety of marine mammals are spotted regularly as they come into the bay to feed. Among those whales are Minke, Fin and Blue whales. Sometimes guests can also expect to see the Humpback whale, which is easily identified by their enormous black and white pectoral fins (flippers), lumps of tubercles on the snout and lower lips, and their big bushy blow. The Humpback whale is certainly one of nature’s most impressive creatures. A common sight on whale watching tours in Eyjafjörður the Humpbacks are known for their energetic awe-inspiring acrobatics,- breaching, fluking, tail and fin slapping, bubble blowing and spy hopping.
A large number of seabirds including puffins and other marine mammals are also regularly spotted out in the bay - such as the fun loving harbour porpoises and white beaked dolphins who often come up close to the boats in order to playfully surf alongside the boats.
- We recommend you wear comfortable non-skid walking shoes and warm layered clothing with a waterproof outer layer. It is good to be prepared with hats, mittens, scarves and sunglasses. Sunscreen is recommended on sunny days due to the reflection from the sea. We do not recommend this tour for the wheelchair-bound passengers due to difficult access to the whale-watching boat.
Total : €110
According to availability, price per passenger.
Charms of Myvatn region
From the pier, your coach will head south towards Godafoss, "Waterfall of the Gods". History tells us that in the year 1000, Thorgeir, chieftain of Ljosavatn district and Lawspeaker of the Althing or parliament at that time, was entrusted with the momentous task of deciding whether Icelanders should adopt the Christian faith. When his decision was formally accepted, he went home and threw his statues of the pagan gods into the waterfall. Godafoss (Waterfall of the gods) is said to derive its name from this event.
Continue to Lake Myvatn. This large (37 sq. km) lake is one of Iceland's natural treasures. Dormant Hverfell looms over the East side and a protected nesting area to its northwest is home to tens of thousands of birds, representing dozens of species of ducks. The surroundings of the lake are of tremendous geological interest. Numerous pseudo-craters at Skutustadir will be explored before continuing to Dimmuborgir, a magnificent lava landscape with strange formations, columns and arches.
The striking geothermal field, next to Namafjall Mountain, is another highlight of this tour, full of mudpots, steam vents, sulphur deposits, boiling springs and fumaroles. Lunch will be served in one of the local restaurants of the Myvatn Area.
The tour continues along the shores of Lake Myvatn and then heads back to Akureyri, where a short city tour will be made before joining the pier and your ship.
- For this moderate excursion, we recommend you wear good and comfortable walking shoes (the terrain can be slippery), a wind and waterproof jacket and take a warm pullover. Please be aware that the order of the visits may be reversed.
Total : €145
According to availability, price per passenger.
Godafoss & Laufas Museum
During a short sightseeing tour, view what remains of the old town of Akureyri before crossing the fjord and heading on to Godafoss, “Waterfall of the Gods”. The name marks the historical event that took place at these falls in the year 1000 when the Chieftain Thorgeir made a public declaration in favour of Christianity, by throwing his carvings of the Pagan Gods into the falls. Thorgeir was also leader of the Althing or Parliament at that time, and it was him who had the difficult task of deciding the Nation’s fate regarding its choice of religion.
Through the wide-open valley Fnjoskadalur, drive into the part of the valley known as Dalsmynni. Formations on the hillsides suggest that a once large pro-glacial lake occupied the valley only to be let down by stages as the ice melted.
Next, continue to the Laufas Folk museum, which originally served as a manor farm and vicarage. The turf farmhouse dates back to 1866 and contains the usual household and agricultural implements used by the gentry during that period and earlier.
Then, head back to the pier.
- We recommend you to wear comfortable walking shoes, a wind and waterproof jacket and take a warm sweater. Please be aware that sites may be visited in a different order.

Calm fjord kayaking
Sea kayaking is not only a healthy and rewarding way to spend your day; it is also a perfect way to get to know the Icelandic nature up close. So grab a paddle and get ready for a great adventure.
The surroundings around the town Isafjordur are one of the best kayaking areas in Iceland and the West Fjords as a whole have earned themselves a great reputation as an appealing kayaking centre offering both easy and difficult areas to challenge the inexperienced and of course, the professionals.
The reason is the endless possibilities for kayaking in the fjords and bays that are close by but still so remote.
This trip, a calm discovery of the fjord, is perfect for those looking for an introduction to the sea kayaking. Kayaking between the mountains is an unforgettable adventure. Birdwatchers love kayaking as it gives them a different angle and a quiet and subtle way to approach the bird life. Paddling under the magnificent mountains towering over the town around Isafjordur, the traveler experiences the closeness of nature and the beauty of the landscape from an exciting angle and in a safe environment.
From the pier, a 15-min walk will lead you to the kayak starting point. You will begin with a short lesson in paddling and put the boats out behind the Maritime Museum and paddle a circle inside the fjord while keeping a sharp lookout for various bird species and seals.
- Participants must be in good physical condition, know how to swim and should be able to carry their kayaks on a short distance to the water. This tour includes a walk of 30 minutes (1 mile approximately) to go to/from the place where kayaks are prepared. We recommend you wear warm and waterproof clothes and shoes and to bring a change. The kayaks are single kayaks. Kayaking gear and lifevest is provided. Tour operation is subject to weather conditions. This tour is only conducted in English.

According to availability, price per passenger.
Maritime culture & traditions
Begin your excursion by driving through the centre and taking the narrow coastal road to the tiny town of Bolungarvik, here there will be a chance to visit the church. Your next stop will be at Osvor, a former fisherman's home that was restored in 1988 and once harboured boats. Osvor is a stunning example of nature's grandeur and perfectly illustrates just how difficult life was for Icelandic fishermen up until the 20th century.
The village of Bolungarvik nestles into the heart of a spectacular bay surrounded by neighbouring mountains and bathed by the Isafjardardjup or "Djup" fjord, the biggest on Iceland's east coast. You will drive alongside these impenetrably deep waters to return to Isafjördur via the valley of Tungudalur. You will enjoy here a short stop to contemplate the valley’s landscapes.
On your return, pass through the historic old town and its 18th century buildings before visiting the Maritime Museum. This is one of Iceland's oldest houses, a monument in itself, next to three other buildings that have also been renovated and date back to 1780.
A typically Icelandic tasting will be served at the end of your visit giving you an opportunity to savour local specialities such as Schnapps, dried fish and locally canned fish cooked the Icelandic way.
- For this excursion, we advise you to wear comfortable shoes, to protect yourself from the sun and to bring a warm and waterproof jacket. Please note the order of the visits may be reversed.

Circumnavigation of Heimaey
We begin our tour from the harbour that for a long time has been a shelter for the Icelandic fishing fleet, but was almost lost in the volcanic eruption on the island in 1973.
After some 15 minutes of walking, embark aboard a boat to discover the island from the sea.
Sail past the cliffs surrounding the harbour to start an interesting and informative journey passing bird colonies with millions of inhabitants and exploring caves that can only be visited by boat.
The bird life you get a chance to see on this tour is magnificent, as the Westman Islands have one of the largest varieties of sea bird species in Iceland. These include puffin colonies of an estimated 6 to 8 million puffins. Nowhere else in the world can such large number of puffins be found in such close proximity to man.
In addition, the islands also house one of the world’s largest gannet and guillemot colonies. Numerous other species of nesting sea birds can also be seen. In addition to the bird life, whales are also often sighted, including orcas, dolphins and porpoises.
After viewing the island and bird cliffs from every angle, the boat tour (approximately 1 ½ hour) ends by sailing into Klettshellir (Cliff Cave). From there, return to the harbour.
- For this easy excursion, we recommend you wear comfortable shoes, a wind and waterproof jacket and you take a warm pullover. Please be aware that this tour is weather depended and that circumnavigation may not be possible. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed. Sight of puffins can go down after mid-August.
Total : €100
According to availability, price per passenger.
Heimaey, Pompeii of the North
Leave from the perfectly formed natural harbour with its tall cliffs inhabited by multitudes of birds. Both the birds and their eggs have been an important source of food for the islanders. From there, drive from the pier into the Herjólfsdalur Valley where ruins of old farmhouses dating back to the settlement can be found.
The tour then continues along the scenic western part of the island, providing an opportunity to view the outer islands of the archipelago. The youngest island, 'Surtsey', was formed in a volcanic eruption in 1963; it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Next, a photostop will be made at Stórhöfði, which offers magnificent views over the island; here puffins nest during spring and the early summer months.
The tour continues to two volcanoes, the 5,000 years old Helgafell, 'Holy Mountain', and the considerably younger Eldfell, 'Fire Mountain', which erupted in 1973 making it necessary to immediately evacuate the islanders to the mainland. Stop here and walk to the viewpoint for a panoramic view, about 10 minutes.
As you continue onwards, drive over the new lava field making your way past the 'Skansinn' – a fort with a wooden church, which was donated to the people of the Westman Islands by the state of Norway to commemorate the millennium of Christianity in Iceland.
Then, visit the new Eldheimar – 'Pompeii of the North' Museum where the history and aftermath of the 1973 eruption is explored. After the visit to the museum, you will head back to your ship.
- We recommend you wear good and comfortable walking shoes and dress in layers. The walk up the viewpoint is very steep and can be slippery.
Total : €120
According to availability, price per passenger.
Eldfell volcano hike
From the pier, meet your local guide and start your hiking tour on Eldfell volcano.
This hiking tour is a great way to get to know the volcanic history of the island and get in touch with the beautiful nature. The view over the island is beautiful and amazing and the island is rich in history. Enjoy a fun and lively walk over the lava with a local. The guide goes through the history of the 1973 volcanic eruption. He will tell you stories and will give you a glimpse into the lives of the local people building up the town afterwards and living on the island today.
First, you will reach Skansinn, where there is the replica of the old fort from the 17th century. Near there is the wooden church and Landlyst, the oldest house on the island. From Skansinn, you will walk up a small hill and walk over the new lava that was formed in the dramatic eruption in 1973. Your local guide will tell you about the eruption, the story of people who had to leave their home in one night. 5,000 inhabitants have been evacuated from the island.
Then, you will walk on the edge of the lava where there is a great view over the town before going up the Volcano Eldfell.
Finally, you will walk down to the Eldheimar Museum where you can experience the volcanic eruption through photos, videos, and installations. The highlight of the exhibition is an excavated home that was buried under ash and lava for 40 years.
If time permitting, you will have the choice to go back to your ship or explore the small town on your own.
- This tour involves a 2-hour hike on uneven ground, gravel and grass. We recommend you wear good hiking shoes, layered clothes and protect yourself from the sun. Due to varying weather conditions in the area, we reserve the right to cancel the tour with short notice.

According to availability, price per passenger.
Volcanic landscape & viking history
From the pier, drive to the enchanting Kleifarvatn Lake, one of the deepest lakes in Iceland, where a brief stop will be made to take some pictures. Next you will drive on across the impressive volcanic plateau of Reykjanes.
Your tour continues to Krysuvik, a colourful hot-springs area, which contrasts sharply to the sand and the lava fields of the area. In Krysuvik we can really witness the powerful jets of steam escaping from deep below the earth's crust and multicoloured pools of boiling mud of the solfataras.
The landscape contrast continues as we ride down to the sea towards a green bay and then up towards the mountains through lava and lush green meadows. You will make a quick stop at the bridge between continents, where you will get the chance to cross from the Eurasian tectonic plate over to the North American tectonic plate.
Then you will be guided over the lava-covered Reykjanes peninsula to the outskirts of the little town Njardvik, where we find the newly built Viking museum in which stands "Icelander" (Islendingur), a fully seaworthy replica of an average-sized Viking vessel, this in those times would have carried a crew of 70. To commemorate the thousandth anniversary of this countrymen navigating to and discovering North America, the shipbuilder Gunnar Eggertsson travelled on the "Icelander" to America and back again in the year 2000.
Homeward bound you will go back to the port, trough the Reykjanes lava fields, before arriving at the pier.
- For this moderate excursion, we recommend you wear comfortable shoes, a wind and waterproof jacket and take a warm pullover. Please be aware that the order of the visits may be reversed.

The Golden Circle
This classic excursion encompasses the “Big Three” - Thingvellir, Gullfoss and Geysir. They are collectively known as the Golden Circle, and provide a look at some of the scenic wonders for which Iceland is justly renowned.
On departing the pier, your journey begins with a drive inland to Thingvellir national park, about 48 km (30 miles) from Reykjavik. Your visit to this national park allows you to experience one of the most outstanding sceneries in the country. Thingvellir ranks at the top of Iceland's tourist attractions. Thingvellir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. The area is surrounded by mountains and encompasses a vast lava plain of green moss and wild flowers. It has been regarded by the Icelanders as a sacred place since the presumed oldest legislative body in History, the Althing, first convened here in 930. Of special note are the Law Speaker's rock and the remains of the turf shelters. These shelters were once used as dwellings during the two-week assemblies of the Althing which were held in the height of summer every other year.
Leaving Thingvellir your tour continues to the Gullfoss waterfall. The “Golden Waterfall” is the most famous of the country's many waterfalls. Here the river Hvita drops 96 feet (30 meters) in two falls, creating an awesome spectacle.
During your next stop at the Geysir area, you will be able to see hissing springs and other geothermal phenomena. The active geyser “Strokkur” projects water every few minutes. Here, amongst these scenic surroundings lunch will be served in the Geysir-area. After lunch, and on your way back to the capital, a comfort stop will be made at Hveragerdi.
- For this moderate excursion with buffet lunch, we recommend you wear comfortable shoes, a wind and waterproof jacket, a hat and sunglasses and you take a warm pullover. Please be aware that the order of the visits may be reversed.

WATERFALLS & GLACIER
This overland must be prebooked and prepaid at least 60 days prior to your cruise. Any reservation made after this deadline will be confirmed on board based on availability. A minimum of participants must be booked to operate this tour. 100% of total cost for cancellations made less than 60 days before departure.
This super four-wheel drive tour starts with a visit to Iceland’s first National Park Thingvellir, where the oldest still existing parliament in the world was founded and assembled through centuries in a grandiose landscape. Thingvellir is also very important from a geological point of view.
The route ascends to an elevation of 700 metres (2,300 feet) above sea level over Kaldidalur, a valley-like, rocky and barren defile between the snow-capped Ok (1,198 m – 3,930 ft) and Langjokull Glacier (1,355 m - 4,445 ft). This spectacular glacier is a continuous, solid shield of ice, in places up to 900 metres (2,950 ft) in thickness and about 1,000 square kilometres (386 sq. miles) in area, the country’s second biggest field of ice.
Continuing on, in heated snow four-wheel drive vehicle with covered bodyworks, into the icy world of the glacier. On board our vehicle, we will drive on the glacier as it is suited for travelling around the wonder-world of ice. After returning from this marvellous adventure we have our light lunch break (buffet).
The route continues into the Borgarfjordur district, visiting the extraordinarily beautiful waterfalls Hraunfossar and Barnafoss, where water emerges in many small falls from beneath a lava field. Drive past Reykholt where the 13th century historian and Prose Edda writer, Snorri Sturluson, lived. Next, we stop at Deildartunguhver, Europe’s mightiest hot spring with high-spouting spurts of boiling water. Continuing over mountain ridges and through pretty lake dotted valleys towards one of the longest fjords of the country, the scenic Hvalfjordur fjord and driving along the shores back to Reykjavik.
- We recommend you wear warm clothes and good walking shoes. This excursion is not recommended for persons suffering from back problems. A minimum of 10 participants is required to operate this tour. Please be aware that this excursion is obviously completely subject to weather conditions.
Duration of excursions are given as a guide only. The order of the visits may be reversed.

The Snaefellsnes peninsula
Upon leaving Grundarfjordur, your journey will take you through the several small fishing villages along the famous Snæfellsjökull glacier-capped volcano. After a stop at Djupalonssandur, take a short refreshing walk to the shore of the Atlantic Ocean.
While you drive along the roots of the volcano you may be able to see the mystical glacier, which was made popular in 1864 by the French writer Jules Verne in his novel A journey to the Centre of the Earth, where he located the entrance to the subterranean journey inside the Snæfellsjökull crater: “Here we had entered the Earth by one volcano, and we had come out by another. And this other was situated more than twelve hundred leagues from Sneffels, from that drear country of Iceland cast away on the confines of the Earth…”
Afterwards, you will pass the cliffs of Londrangar and join the tiny fishing village of Arnarstapi which offers splendid multicolour lava formations and an abundance of bird-life.
After a walk around, you will return to your ship through Budir, famous for its beautiful surroundings of black lava and its long beach of yellow sand. Continue over Frodarheidi Heath to the north coast of the peninsula, back to Grundarfjordur.
- This excursion includes walking on uneven but essentially flat terrain. We recommend you wear a wind and waterproof jacket, bring a warm pullover and wear comfortable walking shoes, as the terrain can be slippery and steep. Please note that sights may be visited in a different order.

Caves, craters & coves
An adventurous tour exploring some of the area’s best loved coastal hiking trails, coupled with an approximate 45-minute cave exploration – all under the watchful eye of the famous Snaefellsjokull glacier!
First up is a refreshing walk amongst the craters at Saxholl. The walk to the main crater takes about 30 minutes return and despite not being particularly high (approx. 300 metres/990 ft), it offers great views and a chance to walk around a volcanic crater rim and take a look inside.
Next, discover some of the beautiful coves and take an approximate 1 km (½ mi) scenic hike. Visit Djupalonssandur which is a beautiful pebbled beach located at the foot of the glacier. Take in magnificent views from the cliff tops and look out for the ancient labyrinth built by fishermen.
Then last, but certainly not least, head to the Vatnshellir cave and take a journey into the underground along a 200-metre (200 yd) lava tube (quite appropriate considering this is the exact location where Jules Verne based his famous novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth!). Follow the path of the lava flow into the cave and descend 35 metres (115 ft) below the surface to see amazing colours and lava formations. The upper section of the cave has great features and unique formations of lava statues curved on the sides. The lower part of the cave is reached by way of a long and narrow staircase that will take you deep down underground, to a place which was hidden from the outside world for thousands of years. Scientists believe Vatnshellir was created in an eruption 6,000 to 8,000 years ago.
- It is recommended to bring warm clothes and gloves, since temperature underground is 6 °C (43°F), as well as good walking/hiking shoes. Helmet and flash light will be supplied. A minimum of 10 participants is required to operate this tour.
Total : €200
According to availability, price per passenger.
Thermal bath & Godafoss
You will pass by the old town of Akureyri before crossing the fjord and heading on to Godafoss, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland. Back in AD 1000, during the meeting of the Althing, the Icelanders voted to adopt Christianity. The wooden idols of Norse mythology were then thrown into the falls in a symbolic gesture that swept away the old religion. Hence, Godafoss literally means “waterfall of the pagan gods”.
After a drive through the northern landscape you will arrive in Húsavik, where a dive into the warm water of geothermal sea baths awaits you, a very genuine wellness wonder. Enjoy this rejuvenating experience for body and soul in the natural tranquillity of the Icelandic fjords, with the view of the mountain range to the west, Skjálfandi Bay beneath the cliffs and the Arctic Circle itself on the horizon.
You will then join your coach for a one-hour drive to your ship.
- We recommend you wear comfortable walking shoes, a wind and waterproof jacket and take a warm sweater. Remember to bring a towel, your swimsuit for the geothermal sea baths experience and flip-flops. There are separate changing rooms for showering at the geothermal centre. It is custom in Iceland to take a shower without bathing suits for hygienic reasons. For your personal belongings, lockers are available.

Whale watching experience
From the pier, follow your local guide and join your whale watching boat. After a short briefing, start your 3-hour adventure.
Iceland has quickly become known as the ‘whale watching’ capital of northern Europe’. Akureyri offers some of the best whale watching opportunities in Europe and a wide variety of marine mammals are spotted regularly as they come into the bay to feed. Among those whales are Minke, Fin and Blue whales. Sometimes guests can also expect to see the Humpback whale, which is easily identified by their enormous black and white pectoral fins (flippers), lumps of tubercles on the snout and lower lips, and their big bushy blow. The Humpback whale is certainly one of nature’s most impressive creatures. A common sight on whale watching tours in Eyjafjörður the Humpbacks are known for their energetic awe-inspiring acrobatics,- breaching, fluking, tail and fin slapping, bubble blowing and spy hopping.
A large number of seabirds including puffins and other marine mammals are also regularly spotted out in the bay - such as the fun loving harbour porpoises and white beaked dolphins who often come up close to the boats in order to playfully surf alongside the boats.
- We recommend you wear comfortable non-skid walking shoes and warm layered clothing with a waterproof outer layer. It is good to be prepared with hats, mittens, scarves and sunglasses. Sunscreen is recommended on sunny days due to the reflection from the sea. We do not recommend this tour for the wheelchair-bound passengers due to difficult access to the whale-watching boat.

Charms of Myvatn region
From the pier, your coach will head south towards Godafoss, "Waterfall of the Gods". History tells us that in the year 1000, Thorgeir, chieftain of Ljosavatn district and Lawspeaker of the Althing or parliament at that time, was entrusted with the momentous task of deciding whether Icelanders should adopt the Christian faith. When his decision was formally accepted, he went home and threw his statues of the pagan gods into the waterfall. Godafoss (Waterfall of the gods) is said to derive its name from this event.
Continue to Lake Myvatn. This large (37 sq. km) lake is one of Iceland's natural treasures. Dormant Hverfell looms over the East side and a protected nesting area to its northwest is home to tens of thousands of birds, representing dozens of species of ducks. The surroundings of the lake are of tremendous geological interest. Numerous pseudo-craters at Skutustadir will be explored before continuing to Dimmuborgir, a magnificent lava landscape with strange formations, columns and arches.
The striking geothermal field, next to Namafjall Mountain, is another highlight of this tour, full of mudpots, steam vents, sulphur deposits, boiling springs and fumaroles. Lunch will be served in one of the local restaurants of the Myvatn Area.
The tour continues along the shores of Lake Myvatn and then heads back to Akureyri, where a short city tour will be made before joining the pier and your ship.
- For this moderate excursion, we recommend you wear good and comfortable walking shoes (the terrain can be slippery), a wind and waterproof jacket and take a warm pullover. Please be aware that the order of the visits may be reversed.

Godafoss & Laufas Museum
During a short sightseeing tour, view what remains of the old town of Akureyri before crossing the fjord and heading on to Godafoss, “Waterfall of the Gods”. The name marks the historical event that took place at these falls in the year 1000 when the Chieftain Thorgeir made a public declaration in favour of Christianity, by throwing his carvings of the Pagan Gods into the falls. Thorgeir was also leader of the Althing or Parliament at that time, and it was him who had the difficult task of deciding the Nation’s fate regarding its choice of religion.
Through the wide-open valley Fnjoskadalur, drive into the part of the valley known as Dalsmynni. Formations on the hillsides suggest that a once large pro-glacial lake occupied the valley only to be let down by stages as the ice melted.
Next, continue to the Laufas Folk museum, which originally served as a manor farm and vicarage. The turf farmhouse dates back to 1866 and contains the usual household and agricultural implements used by the gentry during that period and earlier.
Then, head back to the pier.
- We recommend you to wear comfortable walking shoes, a wind and waterproof jacket and take a warm sweater. Please be aware that sites may be visited in a different order.

Calm fjord kayaking
Sea kayaking is not only a healthy and rewarding way to spend your day; it is also a perfect way to get to know the Icelandic nature up close. So grab a paddle and get ready for a great adventure.
The surroundings around the town Isafjordur are one of the best kayaking areas in Iceland and the West Fjords as a whole have earned themselves a great reputation as an appealing kayaking centre offering both easy and difficult areas to challenge the inexperienced and of course, the professionals.
The reason is the endless possibilities for kayaking in the fjords and bays that are close by but still so remote.
This trip, a calm discovery of the fjord, is perfect for those looking for an introduction to the sea kayaking. Kayaking between the mountains is an unforgettable adventure. Birdwatchers love kayaking as it gives them a different angle and a quiet and subtle way to approach the bird life. Paddling under the magnificent mountains towering over the town around Isafjordur, the traveler experiences the closeness of nature and the beauty of the landscape from an exciting angle and in a safe environment.
From the pier, a 15-min walk will lead you to the kayak starting point. You will begin with a short lesson in paddling and put the boats out behind the Maritime Museum and paddle a circle inside the fjord while keeping a sharp lookout for various bird species and seals.
- Participants must be in good physical condition, know how to swim and should be able to carry their kayaks on a short distance to the water. This tour includes a walk of 30 minutes (1 mile approximately) to go to/from the place where kayaks are prepared. We recommend you wear warm and waterproof clothes and shoes and to bring a change. The kayaks are single kayaks. Kayaking gear and lifevest is provided. Tour operation is subject to weather conditions. This tour is only conducted in English.

Maritime culture & traditions
Begin your excursion by driving through the centre and taking the narrow coastal road to the tiny town of Bolungarvik, here there will be a chance to visit the church. Your next stop will be at Osvor, a former fisherman's home that was restored in 1988 and once harboured boats. Osvor is a stunning example of nature's grandeur and perfectly illustrates just how difficult life was for Icelandic fishermen up until the 20th century.
The village of Bolungarvik nestles into the heart of a spectacular bay surrounded by neighbouring mountains and bathed by the Isafjardardjup or "Djup" fjord, the biggest on Iceland's east coast. You will drive alongside these impenetrably deep waters to return to Isafjördur via the valley of Tungudalur. You will enjoy here a short stop to contemplate the valley’s landscapes.
On your return, pass through the historic old town and its 18th century buildings before visiting the Maritime Museum. This is one of Iceland's oldest houses, a monument in itself, next to three other buildings that have also been renovated and date back to 1780.
A typically Icelandic tasting will be served at the end of your visit giving you an opportunity to savour local specialities such as Schnapps, dried fish and locally canned fish cooked the Icelandic way.
- For this excursion, we advise you to wear comfortable shoes, to protect yourself from the sun and to bring a warm and waterproof jacket. Please note the order of the visits may be reversed.

Circumnavigation of Heimaey
We begin our tour from the harbour that for a long time has been a shelter for the Icelandic fishing fleet, but was almost lost in the volcanic eruption on the island in 1973.
After some 15 minutes of walking, embark aboard a boat to discover the island from the sea.
Sail past the cliffs surrounding the harbour to start an interesting and informative journey passing bird colonies with millions of inhabitants and exploring caves that can only be visited by boat.
The bird life you get a chance to see on this tour is magnificent, as the Westman Islands have one of the largest varieties of sea bird species in Iceland. These include puffin colonies of an estimated 6 to 8 million puffins. Nowhere else in the world can such large number of puffins be found in such close proximity to man.
In addition, the islands also house one of the world’s largest gannet and guillemot colonies. Numerous other species of nesting sea birds can also be seen. In addition to the bird life, whales are also often sighted, including orcas, dolphins and porpoises.
After viewing the island and bird cliffs from every angle, the boat tour (approximately 1 ½ hour) ends by sailing into Klettshellir (Cliff Cave). From there, return to the harbour.
- For this easy excursion, we recommend you wear comfortable shoes, a wind and waterproof jacket and you take a warm pullover. Please be aware that this tour is weather depended and that circumnavigation may not be possible. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed. Sight of puffins can go down after mid-August.

Heimaey, Pompeii of the North
Leave from the perfectly formed natural harbour with its tall cliffs inhabited by multitudes of birds. Both the birds and their eggs have been an important source of food for the islanders. From there, drive from the pier into the Herjólfsdalur Valley where ruins of old farmhouses dating back to the settlement can be found.
The tour then continues along the scenic western part of the island, providing an opportunity to view the outer islands of the archipelago. The youngest island, 'Surtsey', was formed in a volcanic eruption in 1963; it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Next, a photostop will be made at Stórhöfði, which offers magnificent views over the island; here puffins nest during spring and the early summer months.
The tour continues to two volcanoes, the 5,000 years old Helgafell, 'Holy Mountain', and the considerably younger Eldfell, 'Fire Mountain', which erupted in 1973 making it necessary to immediately evacuate the islanders to the mainland. Stop here and walk to the viewpoint for a panoramic view, about 10 minutes.
As you continue onwards, drive over the new lava field making your way past the 'Skansinn' – a fort with a wooden church, which was donated to the people of the Westman Islands by the state of Norway to commemorate the millennium of Christianity in Iceland.
Then, visit the new Eldheimar – 'Pompeii of the North' Museum where the history and aftermath of the 1973 eruption is explored. After the visit to the museum, you will head back to your ship.
- We recommend you wear good and comfortable walking shoes and dress in layers. The walk up the viewpoint is very steep and can be slippery.

Eldfell volcano hike
From the pier, meet your local guide and start your hiking tour on Eldfell volcano.
This hiking tour is a great way to get to know the volcanic history of the island and get in touch with the beautiful nature. The view over the island is beautiful and amazing and the island is rich in history. Enjoy a fun and lively walk over the lava with a local. The guide goes through the history of the 1973 volcanic eruption. He will tell you stories and will give you a glimpse into the lives of the local people building up the town afterwards and living on the island today.
First, you will reach Skansinn, where there is the replica of the old fort from the 17th century. Near there is the wooden church and Landlyst, the oldest house on the island. From Skansinn, you will walk up a small hill and walk over the new lava that was formed in the dramatic eruption in 1973. Your local guide will tell you about the eruption, the story of people who had to leave their home in one night. 5,000 inhabitants have been evacuated from the island.
Then, you will walk on the edge of the lava where there is a great view over the town before going up the Volcano Eldfell.
Finally, you will walk down to the Eldheimar Museum where you can experience the volcanic eruption through photos, videos, and installations. The highlight of the exhibition is an excavated home that was buried under ash and lava for 40 years.
If time permitting, you will have the choice to go back to your ship or explore the small town on your own.
- This tour involves a 2-hour hike on uneven ground, gravel and grass. We recommend you wear good hiking shoes, layered clothes and protect yourself from the sun. Due to varying weather conditions in the area, we reserve the right to cancel the tour with short notice.

Volcanic landscape & viking history
From the pier, drive to the enchanting Kleifarvatn Lake, one of the deepest lakes in Iceland, where a brief stop will be made to take some pictures. Next you will drive on across the impressive volcanic plateau of Reykjanes.
Your tour continues to Krysuvik, a colourful hot-springs area, which contrasts sharply to the sand and the lava fields of the area. In Krysuvik we can really witness the powerful jets of steam escaping from deep below the earth's crust and multicoloured pools of boiling mud of the solfataras.
The landscape contrast continues as we ride down to the sea towards a green bay and then up towards the mountains through lava and lush green meadows. You will make a quick stop at the bridge between continents, where you will get the chance to cross from the Eurasian tectonic plate over to the North American tectonic plate.
Then you will be guided over the lava-covered Reykjanes peninsula to the outskirts of the little town Njardvik, where we find the newly built Viking museum in which stands "Icelander" (Islendingur), a fully seaworthy replica of an average-sized Viking vessel, this in those times would have carried a crew of 70. To commemorate the thousandth anniversary of this countrymen navigating to and discovering North America, the shipbuilder Gunnar Eggertsson travelled on the "Icelander" to America and back again in the year 2000.
Homeward bound you will go back to the port, trough the Reykjanes lava fields, before arriving at the pier.
- For this moderate excursion, we recommend you wear comfortable shoes, a wind and waterproof jacket and take a warm pullover. Please be aware that the order of the visits may be reversed.

The Golden Circle
This classic excursion encompasses the “Big Three” - Thingvellir, Gullfoss and Geysir. They are collectively known as the Golden Circle, and provide a look at some of the scenic wonders for which Iceland is justly renowned.
On departing the pier, your journey begins with a drive inland to Thingvellir national park, about 48 km (30 miles) from Reykjavik. Your visit to this national park allows you to experience one of the most outstanding sceneries in the country. Thingvellir ranks at the top of Iceland's tourist attractions. Thingvellir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. The area is surrounded by mountains and encompasses a vast lava plain of green moss and wild flowers. It has been regarded by the Icelanders as a sacred place since the presumed oldest legislative body in History, the Althing, first convened here in 930. Of special note are the Law Speaker's rock and the remains of the turf shelters. These shelters were once used as dwellings during the two-week assemblies of the Althing which were held in the height of summer every other year.
Leaving Thingvellir your tour continues to the Gullfoss waterfall. The “Golden Waterfall” is the most famous of the country's many waterfalls. Here the river Hvita drops 96 feet (30 meters) in two falls, creating an awesome spectacle.
During your next stop at the Geysir area, you will be able to see hissing springs and other geothermal phenomena. The active geyser “Strokkur” projects water every few minutes. Here, amongst these scenic surroundings lunch will be served in the Geysir-area. After lunch, and on your way back to the capital, a comfort stop will be made at Hveragerdi.
- For this moderate excursion with buffet lunch, we recommend you wear comfortable shoes, a wind and waterproof jacket, a hat and sunglasses and you take a warm pullover. Please be aware that the order of the visits may be reversed.
