Blue Lagoon


Blue LagoonThe Blue Lagoon hot spring spa is the perfect place to go and relax after a long haul flight. You can swim in the hot springs to warm up after being out in the freezing weather, have a massage or just relax in the warm water. Buses from the airport go directly to the hot springs so no matter the length of your layover you should have time for a little of this self indulgence.

Whale Watching


Whale WatchingLeaving from Keflavik, harbour boating tours take travellers out to sea, where the opportunities for spotting whales and dolphins abound. These tours generally last about three hours and the amazing sea mammals often come close up to the boat with the larger specimen making the people on board feel very small. On return it is almost a necessity to have a quick dip in the hot springs to warm up after your marine adventure.

The Viking Ship Islendingur


The Viking Ship IslendingurIslendingur, an Icelandic-built replica of a Viking longship was competed in 2000, exactly a millennia after the first European set foot in North America. It set sail from Iceland on a 4,400 nautical mile journey to the eastern seaboard of Canada and the United States and now rests in Reykjanesbær where travellers are welcomed aboard to indulge in the experience of Iceland’s first settler as well as many other Nordic adventurers.
