Shore Excursions in Iceland

Uncover the land of Fire and Ice

Have a day on land and want to explore?

Shore excursions provide cruise passengers with an incredible opportunity to discover the island’s breathtaking landscapes and cultural treasures. From cascading waterfalls to Viking heritage, these tours offer something for everyone.

Designed to fit your port schedule, our excursions ensure a timely return to your ship. Expert local guides share fascinating stories, while hassle-free transportation from the port makes your journey seamless.

With options for all fitness levels, you can choose from thrilling adventures, relaxing escapes, or a mix of both—making your time in Iceland truly unforgettable.

Experience Iceland’s highlights with our top shore excursions. The Golden Circle tour takes you to Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area, and Gullfoss waterfall in one unforgettable journey.

Reykjavík’s charming streets, Hallgrímskirkja, and the Blue Lagoon offer a cultural escape, while the South Coast tour showcases Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, and Reynisfjara’s black sand beach.

Wildlife enthusiasts can embark on a whale-watching adventure, spotting puffins, dolphins, and seals. For thrill-seekers, glacier hikes and ice cave explorations provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
