Frequently
asked
questions

How do I get to Reykey?

Reykey is in West Iceland. Most Icelandic islands are reached only by boat — a scheduled ferry where one exists, otherwise a private or chartered vessel. Crossings depend on the weather and are cancelled in rough seas, so check the marine forecast and never assume you can leave on schedule.

Can I visit Reykey?

It depends on access and protection status. Some Icelandic islands are open by ferry or summer boat tour; many are uninhabited seabird colonies where landing is restricted during the nesting season. Where visits are allowed, go with a licensed operator and keep your distance from nesting birds.

When is the best time to visit Reykey?

Summer (June to August) is when ferries and boat tours run their full schedules, seas are calmer and seabird colonies are active. Many operators do not run in winter, so plan an island visit for the warmer months and book ahead in peak season.

Is Reykey inhabited?

Most of Iceland's islands are uninhabited, with no facilities, shelter or scheduled transport — Heimaey in the Westman Islands is the notable exception. Treat any small island as a place with no services: bring supplies, tell someone your plan and allow flexibility for the weather.
