Grundarfjordur is a transit port on the rise. In 2019 it received 52 calls and 17,681 passengers, increasing to 75 and 69,500 respectively this year.
There are two berths: Nordurgardur 1 (135m long with 9.5m depth at lowest tide) and 2 (220m long with 8m depth at the first 100m and then 6.5m at the lowest tide). The width of the pier is 40m. The maximum ship length permitted at berth one is 240m and, at berth 2, 170m.
There is the possibility to have two ships at anchor at the same time. It is 0.5nm from here to the Midgardur tender dock which is 30m long and 4m wide and can accommodate four tenders.
The two berths are 600m and 450m from the city centre respectively. Tourist information is provided at the harbour by port employees. There is a toilet 50m from the tender pier and there is free wifi at the port.
Plans are in place to build a new tender dock next to the existing one.
A link is available to the port calendar.
Shore excursions, such as the most popular tour of the Snaefellsnaes Peninsula taking in the glacier, birdlife and points of historical and cultural interest, are operated by third party companies and can be prebooked and on location.
Kayak tours can be prebooked but also booked on location, as can a shuttle to the Kirkjufell waterfall and Bjarnarhofn Shark Museum. Private tours are available on demand.
