Taxis or tours in Grundarfjordur?

[jajsmom]

I've researched this port and don't exactly want to do an organized tour.  I would like to see Mount Kirkjufell and the Grundarfoss Waterfall.  Google maps shows them both to be about a 5 minute drive from the tender port.  Will there be taxis where we dock, or people trying to sell us shore excursions?  I realize that this is Iceland and not the Caribbean, but just want to know what to expect.  And it looks like there will be one other cruise ship in port with us that day, an Oceana ship which only holds about 700, if that makes a difference. Thanks!

It's a tiny town, there aren't any tour companies there and I don't think any taxi companies.  The cruiselines will probably be using any drivers/guides within 100 miles that day.  It's annoying but you probably have to book thru the ship to get anything other than a walking tour

Thanks!  I just asked this over on trip advisor and got the same response.  Looks like we will be walking!

We had a tour booked with IcelandEverywhere but unfortunately didn't make it to the port due to weather.  Was refunded our money within a week with no issues.  We did use them for 2 other ports that trip and loved their tours.  We are going back to Grundarfjordur in 2025 and intend to book them again and hope we actually make it into the port.
