Imagine Peace Tower and Northern Lights on Viðey island from Reykjavík
For guests interested in photographing the northern lights, Videy provides a stunning foreground subject. You’ll also be able to get better quality images on land than on board – especially if you bring a tripod! Our guide provides tips on how best to capture the elusive lights and you can head indoors at one of the island’s buildings to warm up or review your images on your camera. While the Imagine Peace Tower lights up the sky, the Northern Lights are still visible, giving you the chance to catch both simultaneously.

The Imagine Peace and Northern Lights on Viðey Combo is focused on Viðey Island, just off Reykjavík. The boat departs from Reykjavík’s Old Harbour, and it’s approx. 15 min. cruise to the island. The first part of the tour we limit ourselves to “Heimaey” area where the tower stands. We make stops on Sjónarhóll hill, Viðey church and walk up close to the tower itself before walking around to find the optimal spots to photograph the Northern Lights.
