Top 10 Other Outdoor Activities in Reykjavik, Capital Region

December 22, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach

Reykjavik bears the distinction of being the world’s northernmost capital, and for many Icelandic visitors it also serves as a gateway to the rugged adventure options beyond. Recharge after outdoor pursuits in one of the many geothermal springs or luxurious indoor spas. We appreciate Reykjavik’s open-minded and energetic culture that includes a hip and internationally recognized music and arts scene, great food and notoriously "enthusiastic" nightlife.

Mount Esja

Reviewed By SarChrGol - Walworth, United States

I did this hike in July and was blessed to have a beautiful, sunny, clear t-shirt weather day! This is a relatively easy hike, but it is uphill for about 2 hours, so take your time and enjoy the views. There are two points where the trail splits off- take the trail to the right both times if you want a slightly less steep hike up. It is a little longer, just to be aware. It took me less than 2 hours to go up the steep way (and that was with taking lots of breaks to catch my breath and enjoy the view) and about an hour and half going down the less steep, but longer, way. Very easy to get to with the city bus if you don't have a car. Round trip was approximately $9 and took about a half hour each way. The "Straeto" bus app was pretty easy to use and you can set it up so it's in English. The stop you want to search for is Esjuraetur- Hiking Center.

If you like climbing and bouldering, try Klifurhusid in Reykjavík. Not so far from downtown, reasonable prices and nice atmosphere.

Reykjavik Sea Adventures

Puffin tours. Sail with us in comfort for a unique opportunity to observe the colorful puffin among other beautiful sea birds.Sea angling. A must do for first timers and experienced fishermen alike. Just breathing in the fresh air, being out in the open ocean and catching your first fish of the day make this an experience you’ll never forget. We grill the fish for you on board.

Reviewed By Sweden16 - Chisago City, United States

I went fishing with Sea Adventures and had tons of fun! We saw both dolphins and puffins and caught lots of fish. After we got back to the harbor our captain Kjartan cleaned and grilled the fish for us and we had it in his other boat in the harbor. Overall a great experience! 5 stars!
