Visit Reykjanes

This captivating corner of the country offers unforgettable sights at every turn.

Just minutes from Keflavík Airport lies one of Iceland’s most unique and dramatic regions – the Reykjanes Peninsula. This captivating corner of the country is shaped by fire, water, and wind, offering unforgettable sights at every turn.

Your journey begins at the active volcanic area, where steaming craters and fresh lava fields showcase the raw power of Iceland’s nature. From there, visit Reykjanesviti, Iceland’s oldest lighthouse, standing proudly against the Atlantic Ocean, guiding ships for over a century.

Nearby, feel the heat at Gunnuhver, a bubbling geothermal hotspot where steam rises from the earth in surreal, colourful landscapes. Cross the Bridge Between Continents and step from Europe into North America – a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity.

At Brimketill, watch the waves crash into a dramatic lava rock pool carved by centuries of pounding surf. Along the way, enjoy sweeping coastal views, unique geological formations, and the untamed beauty of this UNESCO Global Geopark.

Whether you have a few hours or a full day, the Reykjanes Peninsula offers adventure, history, and natural wonders unlike anywhere else. Image: RUV
