Full description

Nature's marvels never cease to amaze, and the Reykjanes Peninsula is a testament to Iceland's unparalleled beauty. This region is a true geothermal wonderland, where dramatic landscapes, bubbling mud pools, sizzling hot springs, and intriguing geological formations await your eager eyes. As the earth's tectonic plates pull apart beneath your feet, you'll have a front-row seat to witness the raw power of nature that has shaped this mesmerizing terrain.

Start your tour at the boiling mud pools and colorful landscapes of the Seltún Geothermal Area. Hike up to the volcano and take in the views of the fresh lava field formed in the recent eruptions.

Stand astride the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a remarkable geological boundary where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet on the Bridge between continents. This unique location offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to traverse between two continents!

On the way back to Reykjavík stop by Gunnuhver, the largest mud pool in Iceland. Prepare to be mesmerized as you encounter the powerful geothermal forces of Gunnuhver. The roaring steam vents and bubbling mud pots create an otherworldly atmosphere, evoking the raw energy that lies beneath the Earth's surface.

Since Litlu Hrutr was no longer erupting we were given the option of taking this tour instead and we are so glad we did. The sites are spectacular on this trip, especially the active geothermal area and the hike to the recent lava flow. Our guide was good but perhaps could have imparted more geological information.

This tour was perfect, we got instructions and information from the guides before we started the hike and then they let us go at our own pace when hiking to and from the volcano. I appreciated this because some people are slower and some are faster when it comes to these long hikes, and this really allowed us to enjoy the journey more. The volcano was amazing, a once in a lifetime kind of experience. And the views on the way to the volcano were incredible as well. I highly recommend this tour, it's a great price compared to other volcano hikes.

Fantastic Tour! 5 different interesting stops (20 min boardwalk hike through active volcanic park then 2 hours at main volcano hike then lunch then short walk at Contiental Rift Valley, then another 20 min boardwalk hike at a volcanic park and finally a short hike along the sea to a beautiful viewpoint) Stopped at a great seafood place along the water for lunch. The lobster soup was good and people also said fish n chips were good. The highlight of course was climbing the active volcano and walking over the recent lava flow which is still smoking. The climb was quite steep and difficult and slippery and windy and cold taking at least an hour to get to the top so bring good hiking shoes and clothes if you want to do that. If not, it is very quick and easy to get to the lava flow from the parking lot so at least do that (maybe 15 minutes walk although good hiking shoes still recommended)
