Akureyri & Ísafjörður Shore Excursions

Regularly scheduled bus tours with set tour start times and durations are often not suitable for cruise ship passengers. Tours might start before your ship docks or not return in time before your ship is due to set off again.

BusTravel Iceland has been operating tours from the Reykjavik area for over 60 years, offering a variety of tours to Iceland’s best attractions. We are pleased to offer very special tours with start times specific to your cruise´s schedule. We have tours departing from the capital, Reykjavík, Akureyri in North Iceland, and Ísafjörður in the remote Westfjords. For summer 2024, we will be launching Djúpivogur, Húsavík, Seyðisfjörður, and Grundarfjörður shore excursions.

A amazing day trip at the lake and Waterfall of the Gods with Vic – fantastic singer btw – and Chris. The view was amazing. The timetable was amazing as well as we didn’t have any trouble with our cruise departure. Everything ran perfectly smooth. We had a lot of fun. We Really hope to travel with you again guys .
