About the Activity
What to Expect
Enjoy a serene evening on Viðey Island, just minutes from Reykjavík by boat, celebrating Yoko Ono and John Lennon’s enduring campaign for world peace through a blend of history, art, and nature. Your journey begins with a leisurely stroll to the Imagine Peace Tower, a stunning light installation by Yoko Ono dedicated to John Lennon. As you walk, your guide will enrich the experience with tales of the island's rich trading history, ancient buildings, and captivating artworks, all while you soak in the island's tranquil atmosphere. If you are fortunate, you may even witness the magical northern lights dancing across the sky.
The next stop on your adventure is the historic Viðey Church and Viðey House, two of Iceland's oldest stone buildings. Here, you can warm up with a comforting hot chocolate and enjoy a traditional Icelandic kleina. Inside Viðey House, you will have the opportunity to participate in a special moment by writing your wish to hang on Yoko Ono's Wish Tree, a living monument to dreams displayed worldwide.
Finish your tour with a walk to the lookout on Sjónarhóll hill, where you will be rewarded with stunning views of Reykjavík's skyline and the glowing Imagine Peace Tower.
