Short answers to the questions people ask before a few days in the north. How do you get here, and where does each day start? What is at each stop around the lake? Should you watch whales from the town or drive to the bay? Comparing Akureyri city tour? The fares sit side by side there.
Start with the visiting post if you are still planning the trip: it covers the road, the flight and the ship, and the places a day here begins. One post walks the Lake Mývatn day stop by stop, one gathers the town’s sourced surprises, and one sets out the age rules for children boat by boat. The last weighs the town harbour against Húsavík, an hour east, for a whale sailing. Longer planning pieces are in the guides.
By road, by air or off a ship, then where each day here begins, from the harbour by the cultural centre to a harbour town an hour east. What to book before you arrive.
The pseudocraters, the lava labyrinth, the cave you can no longer bathe in and the steaming mud field: what each stop is, how long you get, and the bath that costs extra.
Red hearts in the traffic lights, a fjord 60 km long, a botanic garden this close to the Arctic Circle, and free buses. The town in sourced facts, with no padding.
Children's overalls on the big boats, minimum ages on the RIBs and the zipline, and an evening curfew at the lagoon. The age rules, set out by age.
A boat from the town harbour, or a drive an hour east to the bay? Ship, RIB or oak boat, puffins in season, and the cruise passenger who missed the start.
The practical answers are in the visitor guide and the FAQs, and every tour is compared on Akureyri Iceland Tours.
