We are on a cruise stopping at Akureyri for 2 days. I would like to book an excursion (Lake Myvatn) for one day. Is there much to do in the town on your own for our 2nd (short) day? Or is this a stop that mostly is just to catch excursions to see the countryside?
thank you.
Several years ago, our ship spent far more time in Akureyri than was intended -- a one-day port call. And for that day, a bunch of us on our Roll Call had booked what turned out to be an excellent private tour well outside the city -- one of the classic Lake Myvatn tours (Godafoss Waterfall, bubbling mud pots, Lake Myvatn Nature Baths, and more). I highly recommend doing something like that in Akureyri.
However, because of weather that kept us out of another port, we docked in Akur
