Across from the SBA-Norðurleið bus station is the TREX (Travel Experiences) bus station, on Hafnarstræti 77. This company runs the "ring road" buses to Reykjavík and Egilsstaðir, as well as local service from Akureyri to Dalvik/ Ólafsfjörður and Húsavík. You can purchase the tickets at the TREX office, but normally the buses will stop across the street in the parking lot in front of the Tourist office.
There is a taxi station in downtown Akureyri on the west end of Strrandgata. If you aren't on a budget this is a comfortable way to make day tours out of Akureyri. For groups that don't fit into a regular rental car this can be cheaper than renting a car for the day. They offer tours to Mývatn, Goðafoss, Laufás Húsavík and around Akureyri. There are special rates if you order in advance. You can also ask for english or german speaking drivers.
Akureyri is a popular port of call with cruise ships. Most of them will dock at the eastern end of Strandgata. I don't have specific advice on how to book a cruise here, but follow the web link below for the 2009 schedule of arriving cruise ships.
The main bus station, run by SBA-Norðurleið, also doubles as the tourist office. Ring Road buses stop here. In addition, there is daily summertime service between Reykjavík and Akureyri via the Interior. Other summertime buses run from Akureyri to Myvatn and Dettifoss.The tourist office itself can be useful, with tour booking services, a WC, Internet access (Kr 150 for 15 minutes), and coffee (Kr 100 per cup).
Akureyri Airport (Code: AEY) is located about 3 km (2 miles) south of the town center. The terminal has a comfortable waiting area, an ATM, and a small cafeteria. Air Iceland has several daily flights to Reykjavík Municipal Airport (RKV); flight time is about 45 minutes. Air Iceland also provides daily service to the island of Grímsey, as well as the villages of Þórshöfn and Vopnafjörður. If you wish to fly to Akureyri from outside Iceland, there are two weekly direct flights from Copenhagen to Akureyri on Iceland Express. Otherwise, you'll have to change planes in Reykjavik. NOTE: All international flights (except from the Faroes and Greenland) arrive at Keflavík Airport (KEF). As a result, you will normally need to transfer from Keflavík to Reykjavík; allow about 3 hours to do so. During the summer, Air Iceland does provide one daily flight from Keflavík to Akureyri, but the times may...
