Reykjavik: New Years Fireworks Midnight Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 24 reviews · 2 hours · from $170

Review of Reykjavik’s New Year’s Eve yacht cruise, with fireworks, champagne, bay views, pricing, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Extremely disappointed, expecting a 2 hour cruise experience with views of fireworks , we were taken from where the boat was docked and we floated at anchor in the bay opposite the city of Reykjavik for two hours ! Basically a floating bar at the cost of £239.74p Sterling for 2 passengers . We did get a glass of free champagne ( hardly free it’s paid for within the costings ) Free WiFi , hit and miss connection if you want to send new year Greetings . The company let off 4 off their own fireworks before returning to Dock ( The othered were free to view from anywhere in…”

Reykjavik Christmas Walking Tour

6.Reykjavik Christmas Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 18 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $75

Explore Reykjavik’s Christmas traditions, folklore, markets, music, and landmarks on a friendly two-hour walking tour.

“Went to Iceland for Christmas. The tour gave a sense of the city of Reykjavik and Icelandic Christmas traditions (the black cat, 13 trolls, fermented shark/rays, etc). The tour guide was friendly and knowledgable. The tour takes you to the national Christmas tree, a large cathedral. and a couple of shops. The guide mixed in some general information about the history of Iceland to supplement the Christmas customs. The tea/coffee/hot chocolate break was well-timed to get out of the cold. It was also a good way to get acquainted with downtown.”

9.New Year’s Eve Fireworks Cruise in Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 10 reviews · from $183

Review of Reykjavik’s New Year’s Eve fireworks cruise, with practical details on views, champagne, comfort, price, timing, and value.

“This was advertised as a cruise to watch the fireworks on New Year's Eve. While we did board a boat, and we did see fireworks, it wasn't a cruise. We stayed in the same spot for the first 75 minutes of the 90 minute event. With 15 minutes to go, we took a little spin in the boat. It was a major letdown and should not be advertised as a cruise.”

New Years Fireworks by Boat from Reykjavik

11.New Years Fireworks by Boat from Reykjavik

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $166

Review of Reykjavik’s New Year’s Eve fireworks boat, with harbor views, warm indoor seating, Wi-Fi, champagne, and practical cold-weather tips.

“This was quite an old boat and the decorations / party stuff for NYE was a little skimpy (one party hat, NYE napkin amd one glowstick) around like a table for 6 people. However the crew were friendly and it did the job because not only did we have the fireworks we also had the northern lights come and do us a dance! Which was spectacular. So nothing posh or special but to be fair I did book the cheapest boat so possibly got what I paid for....but did the job for what we wanted.”
