We walked to the lighthouse from Radisson Blu Saga in Reykjavik- it took about one hour. It was a lovely, although very cold, walk along the coastal road. We crossed over on to the beach for part of it where we were able to spot many types of birds and clamber over large rocks. We arrived at the lighthouse at low tide (check online before you set off) so we were able to easily walk across to the lighthouse. There is nothing except the lighthouse there (no toilets/coffee shops) but it’s really picturesque and peaceful. We walked back to Reykjavík- in total the full trip was around two and a half hours.

We were very lucky to be the first visitors of the day (Saturday morning, despite tripadvisor said it was closed..) We had a private tour by the friendly guardian, who came to open the gate and went on accompanying us up to the top describing the “musical” features of the lighthouse, its history and the sights. The unique construction of the lighthouse makes it perfect to propagate sounds and it’s used for in promptu concerts . Worth a try of your vocal cords!

If you want to explore Reykjanes Peninsula, which I highly recommend, you should add Reykjanes Lighthouse to your itinerary. The area was filled with lupines when we visited in early June. Such a beautiful sight! Walk up to the lighthouse for a beautiful vantage point of the ocean. You can then drive towards the coast and explore that area.

We loved this windswept point in western Iceland in the shadow of Snaefellsjoekull, the tallest mountain in Iceland. The ocean is rough as it bashes the ancient lava and the sound of the waves flowing back into the ocean through the black gravel beach is mesmerizing.

Very interesting place. The lighthouse is high above the sea on a very high cliff. The view is fantastic is all directions.
