The Mývatn Geothermal Baths have a ramp from the parking lot, but it is quite steep. It is also possible to get in a wheelchair down to the lagoon, meaning you don't have to go up any stairs. A shower chair is available on site. We recommend that anyone planning to visit contact us first for more detailed information about the facilities and accessibility. The Geosea Baths have a website where you can view photos and information—also in English.
Whale watching tours

Special tours Departing from Reykjavik on the boat Andrea. According to a staff member, access is not very good, but they can assist and carry wheelchair users if requested.

According to an employee Láki Tours It is possible in the winter (until mid-April) to use a wheelchair when they depart from Grundarfjörður. But in the summer, departures are from Ólafsvík, and the access to the boat is poor then.

According to an employee Northern voyages Almost all of their ships are accessible, but the best are the Garðar and the Náttfari. You need to book in advance and then call right before your trip to request one of the largest ships (they are the most accessible). Departures are from Húsavík.
