Iceland - Polar Flight to Grimsey Island/Arctic Circle

[IRMO12HD]

Has anyone done this excursion?  It's out of Akureyri, Iceland, and involves a short plane ride.  I checked on the cost of the flight itself, and RCL's excursion price is really reasonable.  So I signed up!  Just curious if anyone has any experience with it.  I'll be on the Arctic Crossing T/A in September 2022

I have no experience with this excursion, but have been to Grimsey Island aboard a small ship out of Dalvik (3 hour trip each way)

Having experienced that mode of travel, flying would probably have been preferred by most who were onboard (high winds and sea, most were seasick).

Lots of puffins on the cliffs northwest of "town".

The arctic circle monuments (2 of them) are classic photo targets.

A very cool place, very friendly and helpful residents, and I hope to return some day.

But not much to do there compared to Akureyri, which is a very cool place also.

Grimsey is laid back and great for watching/photographing birds.

Akureyri is not a big city, but more "civilized", with more sights to see and things to do.

And I am envious of your sailing! What an awesome itinerary!
