I am looking for suggestions, experience and/or links for transportation from the city center in Reykjavik to the Skarfabakki 312 Cruise Terminal.  I love to plan and research my trips (cruise or land) but Iceland has me stumped!  TYIA!!

you are looking at a distance of under 3 miles (average)  .. there are plenty of taxi.

Our last cruise ended in Reyk' and the hotel was about 1.5 miles. Taxi was easy and credit card was easy to use ....

Do you remember the approximate cost?   Anytime I do a search or "mock" reservation, its like $127!!

I do not remember the exact cost but I do remember it was nothing to get excited about. BUT do be aware that just about everything in Iceland is gonna seem $$ as compared to US.

ALSO the hotel we stayed at - FOSS - had a desk in the lobby to help arrange transportation / tours and the such and answer questions. We found them VERY helpful and service with a smile!

Are you familiar with the geography? Know where the cruise port is?

We also took a taxi, and I remember the cost being very reasonable.  For 2 people I remember it being the same cost as 2 tix on the shuttle bus, so taxi worked great.   Just ask the taxi driver where the best place is to find a taxi downtown for the return trip.   there was not a lot of taxi's driving around downtown but there were some.  There is a sign that says taxi stand near the main park downtown.

$127 is approximately the cost of a taxi from KEF Airport, 45 minutes from the city, to Reykjavik.  It might be a bit higher than that.

For a 3 mile trip in the city I'd expect $25-30 at most.  Remember, tipping is not part of the culture.

I've used taxifarefinder for Reykjavik in the past for decent estimates

When we were in Reykjavik last summer there was a general bus providing service between Harpa Concert Hall and Skarfabakki. To my understanding, this was a free shuttle running from morning to night (11 am to 10 pm or 8:30 am to 10 pm depending on who we asked) coordinated by the port authorities and not under the domain of any particular cruise ship/line. If you're looking simply for transportation, this might also be considered as an option. I don't know if this would accommodate any luggage or require showing any cruise card for passage, however, and I'm sorry to not have further information on the frequency/availability of the service. You can see in the helpful image provided by Capt_BJ above the road running along the coast - there is also a wide, paved sidewalk pretty much parallel that, all else failing and weather-permitting, can be easily walked between the city and Skarfabakki, though it will take approximately 45 minutes one way, minimum. (I believe you can see Harpa as the dark, geometric building near the '41.')

If you're seeking to board your cruise after arriving and staying in Reykjavik, then the taxi advice and/or asking in the hotel lobby as provided above may be the most convenient method. Skarfabakki itself is not remote - it's also a stop on the Reykjavik Hop-On Hop-Off, even, though I don't think the HOHO would be quite as convenient or cost effective as other options offered overall due to its ticket cost, relative infrequency, and limited daytime schedule.

In reverse-- from the OPs initial question...are taxis at the cruise terminal to get into "town" at  Ingólfur Square if I want to do a walking tour? This would be in the am from an overnight of an NCL ship.

What are the suggested tips for cruise-tour guides and bus drivers?

Tipping is not part of the culture. People are paid a fair and living wage.  Iceland is a beautiful and unspoiled country.  Let's try to keep it that way.

TY @Nitemare

Are you living in Iceland and not in need of tips.

I have been there five times and talked to folks in all walks of tourism. They won’t turn down a tip, but hey think it is odd and it is unnecessary.

Me?  I don’t need tips, either. I get paid appropriately for my job by my employer.

In our experience...(living and traveling overseas) there is plenty of fleecing of the tourists vs the local pricing in many parts of the world..so ok--no "tips" necessary..  

yet the locals don't pay nearly what is charged during "season"

OTOH--  many "cultures" do not tip, and "pride" themselves on it--and scoff at those who do tip...

yet many of the locals/services in the 3rd world are Not paid a living wage... 

Generosity is never wrong.

I'm going to piggy back on this older thread and ask about getting from the  Skarfabakki-312 cruise terminal into the city. We're on the the Nieuw Statendam from 7am to 7pm and I'm struggling to find the best transport. I'm not adverse to spending on cabs but I'm seeing reports of hours long waits at the terminal for cabs, plus it's a turn around day for HAL. There will be people both disembarking and embarking for their cruise so there will be a lot of people for HAL alone and there are two other ships in that day. 

The city bus options seem to be "walk half an hour and grab a bus. I'm not coming up with a free option from the port but I do see a HOHO bus that seems to pickup nearby. Does anyone have any other information? 

I can't add much, I have only been there once.  However, for our stop (Celebrity cruise - only 1 ship in port) we had no wait for a taxi from port to downtown and also no wait for the return.  I seem to remember a shuttle bus  (not HOHO, and not city bus) that was also waiting at the port and there was no line.   We could purchase tix for the shuttle bus on board the ship.

Me, I'd walk it.  Of course if you have too much luggage that's out, but your best alternative is a taxi.  You could check www.straeto.is which is the public bus service to see if they cover your route.  You'd need their app or cash to pay, I believe

Hiking Highlight

Recommended by 11 out of 12 hikers

Location: Reykjavík , Iceland

The capital and the metropolitan area have several ports. Skarfabakki, Miðbakki and Sundabakki are the three main ports of call. The old harbor Miðbakki is the most central of the three ports. It is located right in the city center, near the Harpa Concert Hall. Only smaller ships can dock in the harbor. The larger ships dock in Skarfabakki and Sundabakki. Both ports are located east of the city center. The cruise ships leave mainly in the newer port Skarfabakki. This is about four kilometers outside the city center. Ships up to a maximum length of 335 meters can moor at the pier. The port has no terminal, so you can get directly on the pier on the pier. Tourist information, toilets, currency exchange and Internet access are available.

Cruise ship schedules in ports in Reykjavik

Iceland’s allure draws global explorers with its rich culture, diverse landscapes, and captivating geothermal wonders. Reykjavik, the world’s northernmost capital, is magnet for these adventurers, many arriving via sea on luxurious cruise ships. Our guide clarifies the intricate scheduling of cruise ships docking at Reykjavik’s bustling ports.

What are cruise terminals in Reykjavik?

There are two terminals, Old Harbour (Midbakki & Faxagarðar Piers) downtown and Sundahöfn (Skarfabakki and Kornagardur Piers), the commercial harbor. The former caters to smaller cruise ships and private yachts, while the latter accommodates larger vessels due to its extensive facilities.

On the calendar below, you can find the complete schedule of cruise ship docking times in Reykjavik city. The schedule includes docking times at various piers, namely Skarfabakki (312) , Miðbakki, Faxagarður, and Korngarður (315) .

When is the busiest time at the terminals?

Cruise ship schedules in Reykjavik peak from May to September, welcoming international voyages of varying durations. Some traverse Icelandic fjords, while others embark on transatlantic journeys or Northern European routes.

Can the schedule of the cruise ships change?

Schedules may change due to weather, sea conditions, and safety concerns, but cruise companies strive to minimize disruptions with alternate plans.

Is there any shore excursions that I could join directly from the cruise terminal?

Additionally, cruise ship schedules also take into account the various shore excursions offered in Reykjavik and the surrounding regions. These range from visits to iconic landmarks such as the Blue Lagoon and the Golden Circle to more adventurous activities like whale watching , horse riding , and exploring the stunning landscapes of the southern coast.

 We hope this guide provides insight into the intricate choreography that enables countless explorers to embark on their Icelandic adventure via Reykjavik’s bustling ports each year.

If your cruise does not appear on the calendar below, please contact your cruise line or the agent through whom you booked your cruise trip.

A Guide to Reykjavik Ports and Shore Excursions

If your cruise stops in Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital, you’re in for a treat. With stunning landscapes, rich history, and geothermal wonders, Reykjavik offers plenty to explore. This guide to Reykjavik Ports and Shore Excursions will help you make the most of your visit.

Three Reykjavik Ports

Skarfabakki cruise terminal.

Skarfabakki is Iceland’s largest and most modern cruise ship dock, located in the Sundahöfn area, about 3.5 kilometres east of Reykjavik’s city centre. It features modern amenities such as currency exchange offices, souvenir shops, restaurants, cafes, restrooms, and comfortable waiting areas. Taxis and buses are readily available for a quick ride to the city centre or for pre-booked tours. While it offers a comfortable arrival experience, it is further from Reykjavik’s heart than Miðbakki’s. Skarfabakki can accommodate ships up to 335 meters long with a draft of 11.5 meters, making it suitable for large cruise vessels.

Miðbakki Terminal – Old Harbour

Miðbakki, located in Reykjavik’s Old Harbour, is smaller and more quaint than Skarfabakki. Its proximity to the city centre means you are within walking distance of key attractions like Hallgrímskirkja Church , Harpa Concert Hall , and Tjörnin (The Pond). This terminal offers a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere, ideal for first-time visitors. While it has restrooms and waiting areas, it lacks the extensive facilities found at Skarfabakki. Taxis and buses are available for easy access to the city.

Kornagarður Terminal – Sundahöfn

Korngarðar, also known as Korngarvör Harbour, is a secondary dock in the Sundahöfn area. It’s primarily used for cargo but can accommodate cruise ships, especially during peak season. This terminal has minimal amenities and lacks shops, restaurants, and currency exchange offices. Similar to Skarfabakki, you’ll need transportation to reach central Reykjavik. The surroundings are more industrial and less scenic. While not ideal for tourists, Korngarðar is an overflow option during busy times.

Reykjavik Shore Excursions

Reykjavik offers a variety of shore excursions that cater to different interests. From guided tours of the Golden Circle to whale watching and visiting the Blue Lagoon , there’s something for everyone. For those looking to go beyond the usual tours, consider exploring these hidden gems:

Elliðaárdalur Valley is a beautiful park with waterfalls and hiking trails, perfect for nature lovers. The Reykjavik Botanic Garden is a tranquil spot showcasing Icelandic flora. The Perlan Museum offers interactive exhibits on Iceland’s natural wonders and a stunning observation deck with panoramic views.

Make the most of your stopover in Reykjavik by exploring well-known attractions and lesser-known treasures. Whether disembarking at Skarfabakki, Miðbakki, or Korngarðar, Reykjavik promises an unforgettable experience.

And if your ship docks at Skarfabakki or Korngarðar, you can hop on the next ferry to Viðey Island and explore Icelandic nature, Reykjavik’s oldest house and various artworks, including Yoko Ono’s Imagine Peace Tower.

Docking in Reykjavik

Take a leisurely stroll along the enchanting streets of Laugavegur, Skólavörðustígur and downtown Reykjavik. These colourful streets have vibrant houses, quirky shops, and a lively atmosphere. You can wander alone or join the Walk with a Viking Tour for a great, guided introduction to Reykjavik and Iceland.

Iceland’s Tallest Church Hallgrímskirkja

Visit Hallgrímskirkja, Iceland’s iconic church, with its 244-foot tower offering breathtaking panoramic views. Capture the unique architecture of this modern marvel set against the dramatic Icelandic landscape. We recommend walking up Skólavörðustígur to get there, a street full of history, great shops and restaurants.

Get to Know Reykjavik’s Museums

Reykjavik boasts a rich array of museums. Visit the quirky Phallological Museum , delve into Icelandic history at the National Museum, or explore the Reykjavik Art Gallery. Discover more about these and other fun things in our blog posts on The Best Museums in Downtown Reykjavik and Is the Reykjavik City Card Worth it?

Eat Your Way Through Reykjavik History

Embark on a culinary adventure in Reykjavik. Savour hearty lamb soup, try the famous fermented shark (hákarl), or indulge in kleinur, a sweet fried pastry. For a guided exploration of Iceland’s unique flavours, join the Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour or Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour .

Whale Watching Tour from Reykjavik Harbour

Set sail from Reykjavik Harbor on a thrilling whale-watching adventure. Witness majestic whales, playful dolphins, and soaring seabirds in their natural habitat. You can combine this with a city exploration on our City Walk and Whale Watching Tour . If puffins are more your thing, you can do a combo tour City Walk and Puffin Tour .

Perlan’s Panoramic View

Visit Perlan , a futuristic landmark on Öskjuhlíð Hill. Enjoy panoramic views, explore Iceland’s wonders through interactive exhibits, and enjoy a memorable meal at the revolving restaurant.

If you dock at Skarfabakki or Kornagarðar, you are just a stone’s throw away from visiting the beautiful Viðey Island, offering tranquil landscapes and historical sites.

If you would rather want a private tour, quite a few are on offer and you can even rent a guide ! For a specialised itinerary, please contact us .

How to Get Around in Reykjavik

Reykjavik is best discovered on foot. From the cruise port, a scenic stroll along the waterfront or through the city centre will reveal landmarks, shops, restaurants, and cultural gems. Depending on your arrival point:

• From Sundahöfn, a 40-50 minute walk will take you downtown.
• If you arrive at Reykjavik Harbour, you’re already in the heart of the action.

For quicker options, Route 16 from Sundahöfn can whisk you downtown. You can pay with cash (630 ISK for a 90-minute ticket) or use the Klappið app. Remember, buses don’t give change. Taxis are plentiful at the cruise port and operate on a metered fare system. For more convenience, consider using the Hreyfill taxi app or calling them. Although taxis can be pricey, Hreyfill offers fixed-price private tours.

Renting a Car is the Ultimate Freedom

For ultimate freedom, rent a car. Several agencies offer rentals in the city, sometimes with cruise terminal transfers. Make sure to familiarize yourself with local traffic rules , road conditions, and parking options. This is ideal for longer stays.

Guided day trips and excursions are great for exploring Reykjavik’s surroundings and hidden gems. Tour operators handle transportation and provide knowledgeable guides, making them perfect for cruise travellers. Your cruise line can recommend specially designed day tours.

We also offer a variety of captivating walking tours , such as the Reykjavik Food Lovers Tour, Reykjavik Folklore Tour, Beer & Booze Tour, Icelandic Sweet Tooth Tour, and Reykjavik CatWalk Tour. All tours are available as private options. Visit our website for details and contact us with any questions.

This guide equips you to explore Reykjavik your way. Make the most of your Icelandic adventure!

2-floor/5000m2 cruise terminal is due to open at Port Reykjavik (Iceland) in 2025

A new 5000 m2 (53820 ft2) terminal spanning 2 floors is set to open at 312 Skarfabakki in Port Reykjavik (Iceland) in 2025, with full functionality expected in 2026.

Construction of the BREEM-certified building is scheduled to start in 2023-Q3.

The primary objective of this project was to design a building that could accommodate various passenger flow and luggage handling requirements in a highly flexible manner. Additionally, the building was envisioned as a visual landmark, offering guests scenic views of Faxa Bay both from inside and outside the terminal, as explained by Sigurdur Jokull Olafsson, the marketing manager of Faxaports.

The terminal's core design incorporates a black box concept, providing a multifunctional open space suitable for turnaround operations. Surrounding this central space, a glass structure will be erected to introduce natural light and ambiance into the building. This versatile terminal will also serve as a venue for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) events during periods when cruise activity is low.

Olafsson emphasized the importance of a welcoming terminal, as it often serves as the first point of entry for travelers to any destination. Faxaports is investing IKr2.8 billion (EUR 24.3 million) in this project due to Reykjavik's growing significance as a key turnaround port in the North Atlantic.

In the current year, 265 cruise calls with 285,000 passengers are scheduled, with approximately 90,000 of them being part of turnaround operations. This represents a significant increase from 2022, which saw 184 calls and 170,770 passengers. Olafsson noted that the future growth in passenger numbers will predominantly come from turnaround operations, as the port has reached its pier capacity.

The terminal will be situated in Sundahofn, about a 3km shuttle bus ride from downtown. Presently, turnaround operations are managed from a small building and tents at a 619-meter-long quay.

In terms of onshore power infrastructure, the port is implementing a three-year plan involving a EUR 20.7 million investment for two high-voltage connections near the new terminal. On September 19th, the Minister of Infrastructure officially inaugurated a low-voltage 1.5 MVA OPS (Onshore Power Supply) for smaller ships at the Old Harbour, with Hurtigruten's Maud being the first vessel to utilize this facility.

Reykjavík is the nation’s capital and main hub in almost every sense of the word. It is the closeness to nature that makes Reykjavík truly special. Surrounded on three sides by the sea and dutifully watched over by the kindly but imposing hulk of Mount Esja, visitors are constantly reminded that this city lies on the edge of a grandiose, yet far from uniform, land.

Situated on a peninsula, the visitor is never far from the sea in Reykjavík. The old wooden buildings and fishing village atmosphere of the old town only serve to enhance that sensory connection with the city’s history. It is tempting to describe Reykjavík as the modern capital trying to squeeze into the ancient fishing village, but in reality the rapid expansion of the city has left the ancient fishing village struggling to remain the focus of the modern capital.

Reykjavík offers an exceptionally wide variety of museums, galleries, theatres and cinemas, as well as a lake in the city centre, parks and scuplture gardens. It also has shopping down to a fine art; its main shopping street is an odd but pleasing mix of local and international names in the fashion world, as well as gift shops, art shops and much more. Some of Reykjavík´s biggest claims to fame are its pleasant cafés, its crazy nightlife and its bewildering array of world-class restaurants. All year round visitors can enjoy a multitude of various events and festivals.

Every season has its own unique charm; the summer brings 24 hours of daylight, while winter ushers in the beautiful Northern Lights. Enjoy all the natural treasures that Reykjavík and its surroundings have to offer.
