Camden lady Posted May 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Has anyone taken this excursion? Is it a coach or walking tour? I really couldn't tell from the description. Is it worth taking? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WanderingBrit Posted May 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2023 My guess from something similar I did way back in 2008 is that it's a walking tour. Akureyri is a pretty town and very accessible from the harbour, though it's probably over a mile to the Botanical Gardens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Clay Clayton Posted May 22, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2023 When we did this excursion in 2021, it was a panoramic tour except for the free time in the garden. We paid for a whale watching excursion in the morning and did the included one in the afternoon. The bus drove us through town with some minor commentary as we went up to the base of a ski resort where we had a short stop to view the town. From there we were driven to the Botanical Gardens where we had an hour? to wander at our leisure. It was a beautiful weekend day when we were there so there were lots of locals out enjoying the park. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW....Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing. Since we are doing this cruise one week prior to you we will be sure to take good care of the Jupiter for you. (I'll also inquire as to the Pistachio Buns on the ship) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
