Akranes Lighthouse Tours

Akranes Lighthouse was constructed to help guide sailors through stormy waters. Still an important local landmark today, it's bound to have a few stories to tell about sailing triumphs and tragedies.

When you've finished exploring this longstanding beacon in Akranes, why not make your way to Langisandur, Leynir Golf Club, and Guðlaug Baths? They're close to Akranes Lighthouse and also a hit with many travelers.

8.2/10 Very Good! (114 reviews)
Even though the property is located in quite a remote area, it’s very well maintained and offers great value for the price. The cleanliness and upkeep really stood out. I was especially pleased to find that the breakfast included a good variety of vegetarian and vegan options. A great choice if you don’t mind a quieter, off-the-beaten-path location and valley of tears and other breathtaking locations are also close to this spot. The only caveat is you need to let the hotel know about the late checkin and sometimes they dont pick up phone being short staffed.
