Highlights
- Reykjavik - Our day tour kicks off with a swift and efficient pick-up service. We’ll collect you from either a central Reykjavik hotel or one of the numerous pick-up points scattered throughout the city. Once everyone is on board, we’ll depart the city and start our adventure.
- Reykjanes Peninsula - Leaving the capital behind, you’ll venture into the volcanic terrains of the Reykjanes Peninsula. This peninsula lies along the Mid-Atlantic Rift, separating the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Despite its location between two tectonic plates, no volcanic eruptions were recorded there for 800 years. However, the Fagradalsfjall volcano’s eruption in March 2021 changed everything. The six-month-long eruption attracted hundreds of tourists with its spectacular display of fountaining red-hot lava.
- Fagradalsfjall Volcano Eruptions: 2023, 2022, 2021 - Set out on an extraordinary adventure: witness a live volcanic eruption and flowing magma! Our expert guide will pick you up from Reykjavik, and together, you’ll embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey. The trek to the Litli Hrutur Active Volcano requires physical stamina, covering up to 10 kilometers each way. However, the experience is immensely rewarding, offering stunning views of expansive lava fields and the captivating sight of an active eruption. Upon arrival, you’ll witness the beautiful formation of these lava fields and the mesmerizing display of fresh lava spewing and flowing.
- Seltún Geothermal Area - Seltùn (Geothermal site in Krysuvik) - You don’t have to venture far from Reykjavik to encounter vibrant geothermal sites, and Seltún is one of them. Visiting Seltún, like all geothermal locations in Iceland, feels like stepping into another world. Seltún features both bubbling mud pools and boiling hot springs.
- Kleifarvatn Lake - Kleifarvatn is the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula. This area is renowned for its geothermal and geological activities, with the landscape covered in a thick layer of lava. We’ll enjoy a brief yet stunning drive by the lake.

Fun Volcano and Lava Field Experience - We were able to walk on the lava fields and explore a hot boiling water feature while on this tour. We also saw a beautiful lake with no boats that was beautiful in the morning.

Stunning views and no crowds! - Although the original hike was altered for road closures and volcano activity predictions, our guide, Johannes, provided an alternate hike with stunning views and the volcano fields. Hw found the perfect natural lava bench with warm gas to eat our snacks. He was very knowledgeable and personable. We only saw two other small groups! I would highly recommend Johannes and this tour.
