Experience The Wonders Of Whale Watching And The Artistic Imagine Peace Tower In Reykjavík


Begin your day with an immersive whale watching expedition in the pristine waters of Faxaflói Bay. Departing from the Old Harbour, you will set sail in search of majestic whales, playful dolphins, and a variety of native seabirds. This afternoon excursion provides a unique opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural environment, while expert guides share fascinating facts about the marine life that thrives in the cold, nutrient-rich waters surrounding the Icelandic coast.


After returning to the harbour, you will have ample time to explore the vibrant waterfront area. This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many local restaurants, where you can sample fresh Icelandic seafood while taking in the atmosphere of the historic harbour. The area is filled with charm and provides a wonderful backdrop for a relaxing break before the evening portion of your tour begins under the twilight sky.


As evening approaches, you will board a ferry for a short, scenic boat ride to the magical Viðey Island. This island is home to the Imagine Peace Tower, a stunning work of art created by Yoko Ono in memory of John Lennon. You will participate in a guided walk to the tower, learning about the history of the artwork and the significance of the powerful beam of light that illuminates the night sky as a symbol of world peace.


The tour concludes with a return journey to the mainland, offering spectacular views of the Reykjavík skyline by night. If conditions are favorable, you might even witness the ethereal dance of the northern lights overhead, adding a magical touch to your experience. This combination of daytime wildlife observation and evening artistic reflection provides a comprehensive and memorable look at the natural and cultural highlights of the Reykjavík area, making it an ideal choice for any visitor.

I have lived in Iceland for about two years now, and I have forgotten how much anger this light brings to me. The northern lights are the beauty of the winter nights here. As a scientist, there are few (to none) sights I find more beautiful than the lights. So here I am, yesterday- watching some of the best lights I have seen thus far. And lo and behold, in the northern sky, there it is- the Peace Light. I forgot it had been turned on; it has been cloudy for weeks, and this was the first clear night. Yay! And what is our reward? A clear night- so rare here- coinciding with a CME? Oh- wait, no- we get a great view of the Peace Light! Even now, it's cloudy, and that light is turning the entire sky bright. It's horrible. What a disgrace. A painful reminder of humanity's belief that we own everything. That we have the right to destroy the night sky. This is a memorial for peace? Could you tell me if you are serious? Who thought a beam of light in a culture that holds the night sky sacred was a representation of peace? An intrusion. A failure. People come from across the globe to watch the northern lights- and they have to look at this? It's disrespectful. I curse the Peace Light. Could you take it down? For all of our sake? I am not commenting on what it represents, rather how it fails to communicate a single EMOTION other than rage. Honestly, bottom-tier installation. Bottom three human creations on the planet?

Great tribute to the late musician John Lennon. You can take a ferry from Reyjkavik to Videy Island and walk over easily. Trail maintained well and easy to walk over. Free WC in the main house

Seriously, why did anyone in Iceland agree to this? A country whose main tourist atttaction in the winter is looking at the night sky, only to have that sky polluted by a giant beam of light? I'm 100% for peace on earth, but also for enjoying its natural beauty whenever possible.
