Visit Reykjanes is the destination marketing and management organization for the Reykjanes peninsula and Reykjanes UNESCO Global Geopark. Only a stone’s throw from Keflavík International Airport and only 30 minutes from the vibrant capital, Reykjavík.

The Reykjanes peninsula is a natural powerhouse. Not only because of the recent volcanic activity but as the area is permanently marked by the Mid-Atlantic ridge and there are only a few places around the world – where you can see such a rift up close. See where the country is being ripped apart, inch by inch. See how the lava fields, overgrown with moss, bear witness to volcanic eruptions that happened millennia ago and the ongoing eruption in Fagradalsfjall. This rugged beauty is home to a community that puts sustainability and innovation at its core.

The area offers nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and geology connoisseurs and laymen alike a rare opportunity for discovery. And the lunar landscapes, friendly communities, and the short distance from Iceland’s capital Reykjavík mean that curiosity can be quenched with ease.

Feel how the nutritious seawater at the Blue Lagoon can soften and soothe your skin. And climb hike, or bike in an area marked by survival and volatility. Take a breath and witness just how amazing our region is. We will assist you in finding the right fit for you and your customers regarding services and experience. Our partners always aim to provide the best possible experience that the area and its people have to offer.

  • Is Iceland safe to visit after the most recent volcano eruptions?

    When volcanic activity first kicked off on the Reykjanes peninsula a few years ago, it came as a bit of a surprise. After all, the area hadn’t experienced an eruption for something like eight centuries. Over the past three years, volcanic activity has increased and subsided several times. The most recent phase began in late 2023 and has been ongoing on and off ever since. These eruptions have had a significant impact on the town of Grindavik in the south of the Reykjanes peninsula and also periodically, to the Blue Lagoon in the middle. So what effect, if any, will this have on your travel plans?
