"The Sun Voyager The Sun Voyager is a sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason. The Sun Voyager is a dreamboat, an ode to the sun. Intrinsically, it contains within itself the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress, and freedom. The sculpture is located by Sæbraut, by the sea in the center of Reykjavík. I had seen this sculpture in so many photos before we went to Iceland and really wanted to see it in person. When we got there we had the most amazing sunset and the sculpture itself is very beautiful. I am really happy I got to see it."

It is an interesting sculpture by the sea side. If you google it, you'll see that the sculpture is described as a dreamboat and is an ode to the sun. The location of the sculpture is perfect. Right next to Atlantic Ocean, the view is stunning. Take a walk by the ocean and capture the sculpture to make awesome memories with your family and friends. It's also 10 minutes walk to Hallgrimskirkja church and rainbow street. Overall, an afternoon well spent.

I came here in the morning and enjoyed looking at the Voyager. It is a place that stirs the imagination and makes real the collective memories of ancient journeys. I returned after dark to look at the light from John and Yoko’s “Imagine Peace.” A faint aurora added to the experience.

Sun Voyager is a beautiful sculpture next to the ocean in Reykjavik, you should not miss it if you scroll around the area. Be aware can get very cold even when sunny. Recommend it!

Loved seeing this in person! Right on the harbor walk path and easily accessible from town. Can get breezy right on the water (we were here in Dec/Jan)! Sidewalk was mostly plowed while we were there but was alternating slushy and slick in places, so good boots + yaktracks if you’re nervous are advised :)

It's a beautiful steel sculpture of a boat overlooking the sea. We enjoyed the breath taking views of the sea as we walked from Harpa to Sun Voyager.

The sculpture is beautifully situated with a fantastic view of the bay and Mount Esja in the background, making it a perfect spot for photos, especially at sunset. The design, which resembles a Viking ship, is both modern and symbolic, representing a journey into the unknown and a tribute to Iceland’s Viking heritage.

The Sun Voyager is an absolute gem in Reykjavik! This quirky and stunning sculpture is a must-see, especially on a sunny day when the blue sea and snowy hills create a breathtaking backdrop. It’s a perfect spot for photos and a moment of reflection. Truly a beautiful and inspiring piece of art that captures the spirit of exploration and adventure!

A stunning sculpture on the waterfront. Worth a visit if you are passing. The waterfront itself is a bit of a let down!
