A remote Westfjords gateway where Iceland's raw nature begins

Reykhólar Airport is a small general aviation airstrip serving the quiet fishing and geothermal community of Reykhólar in Iceland's Westfjords region. It supports light aircraft operations connecting this sparsely populated coastal area with the rest of Iceland. The airport reflects the character of rural Icelandic aviation — simple, functional, and surrounded by dramatic fjord landscapes.

Terminals
  • Main Airstrip Facility — A basic single-building facility handling light general aviation arrivals and departures with minimal passenger services.
Ground Transport
  • Private car or pre-arranged pickup
  • Local taxi service (limited availability, advance booking recommended)
Nearby Hotels
  • Guesthouse Reykhólar
  • Bjarkalundur Hotel
Dining

There are no dining facilities at the airstrip itself. The small village of Reykhólar offers very limited food options, and travellers are advised to stock up before arrival. Bjarkalundur, a short drive away, has a guesthouse restaurant serving Icelandic staples.

Traveller Tips
  • Pre-arrange ground transport well in advance as taxi and rental services are extremely limited in this remote area.
  • Weather in the Westfjords can change rapidly — confirm your flight status before travelling to the airstrip.
  • Carry cash as card payment infrastructure in the immediate area may be unreliable.
  • The nearby geothermal pool in Reykhólar village is a worthwhile stop for visitors.
