Join us for a Summer Solstice Walk on Viðey Island on Saturday evening, June 21. During the solstice, the sun's passage is the longest here in the northern hemisphere, and the midday sun stops rising day by day. The days will become shorter. The spoken language will be Icelandic. We will walk around the island and hear stories about the place. Guests are encouraged to bring a snack and a hot drink to enjoy while listening to the guide before returning to the ferry. The trail is easy, with a soft surface, but good shoes and a warm jacket are recommended. The Summer Solstice Walk in and around Reykjavík has been held annually since 1985. The ferry will leave Skarfabakki at 20:00 and return from Viðey Island no later than 23:00. The event is free, but you must pay for the ferry ride. We recommend buying a ticket before going on the ferry. https://elding.is/is/node/2373 Everyone is welcome!
