downundermatt Posted February 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I have been looking into excursions for Akureyri and was thinking of booking through Cruising Excursions. Their reviews on Cruisecritic and Tripadvisor rate from very bad to very good. I was hoping someone may have had experience with this company specifically in Iceland and can provide a review. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTowner Posted February 6, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2018 They are only a third party agent like Viatour, so I don't see any point in booking with them. We booked an excellent private tour in Akureyri with two other couples on our Roll Call. We found the local company recommended on Tripadvisor.

ljandgb Posted February 6, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I've only ever booked direct with the companies for my Iceland Trips. I've never had a problem. Communication via email was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTowner Posted February 6, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think we booked with Saga Travel, who are number 1 on Tripadvisor. It was very good. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynncarol Posted February 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Another vote for Saga Travel Tours. They gave us an excellent 8 hr. tour out of Akureyri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dronnygirl Posted February 10, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2018 We will be in Akureyri in July and are going with Fab tours, they are linked to IG tours in Reykyavik and give a small discount if you book multiple tours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradiselivin1 Posted February 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We rented a car (easy) and did a DIY tour. We were able to go at our own pace and spend as much time at the falls and other sites we were able to get to on that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want to go Lake Myvatn. Did you drive to a specific area or just around the lake? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted April 13, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 13, 2018 There are a number of attractions near Lake Myvatn (Hverir, Nature Baths, Hverfjall, etc), or you can just drive around and enjoy the landscape. Look those places up and do a search online about activities near Myvatn to see what works for you Driving in Iceland is easy. Bring a map, you won't need GPS as there just aren't that many roads and all signs are in English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juno1162 Posted July 3, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 3, 2018 An Icelandic friend who lives in Akureyri has recommended Keli Sea Tours to us for a less touristy whale-watching trip. We’re going next week so will report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
