Akureyri 9 August 2012

We are at Akureyri with Celebrity Eclipse on 9 August 2012 - are there any recommendations for excursions other than the ship's own ?

Thanks

Akureyri is very isolated. It is at the bottom of a gorgeous fjord. We took the ship's excursion. It was very nice. We went to some gardens and to some very pretty waterfalls. There is a lot to see around there. I am not familiar with any excursion companies. All the one's from the ship seemed very nice.

We're on the Eclipse 7/7 sailing and are doing a private full day tour with Taxi no 17, Auðun Benediktsson is the owner. Check out his web page http://www.taxi-no17.com and ask him for a quote, he seems to be very nice and quite reasonable.

There are some other operators recommended on Tripadvisor, you could check them out also. There's one called Gentle Giants who does whale watching tours, a group from our cruise is going with them.

Hope have a great cruise!

We are also on August 4 Iceland cruise. Come join our roll call. There have been several posts about tours from Akureryi.

Midland Red - we are the same cruise - I really wanted to ask a question about your 'name' has it any links to the bus company that was????
