Fagradalsfjall Volcano Hike – Small Group with Local Guide

Embark on an unforgettable guided hike through the Fagradalsfjall eruption zone in Iceland, a destination renowned for its dramatic volcanic landscapes. This small-group or private tour takes you deep into the Reykjanes Peninsula, just a 40-minute drive from Reykjavík, where you’ll witness the power of nature firsthand.

Led by experienced local guides from Grindavík and Keflavík, you’ll traverse black lava fields, steaming hills, and viewpoints shaped by recent eruptions. Your guide will share fascinating insights into the science behind each eruption, making this experience a must for geology lovers, families, and photographers alike.

Depending on your preference, choose between a self-drive option with a flexible 4-hour itinerary, or a pickup option from Reykjavík spanning up to 6 hours. Both options include a visit to the charming Grindavík fishing village, while the pickup tour adds stops at the Seltún geothermal area and stunning Kleifarvatn Lake.

The hike itself covers up to 8 kilometers round-trip and includes a moderate ascent of 300 meters, adjusted to your group’s pace and the ever-changing volcanic conditions. Walking poles are provided if needed, and the route is updated to include the active eruption site whenever it’s safe and possible.

Due to the unpredictable nature of volcanic activity, glowing red lava is never guaranteed. However, your local guide ensures you experience the region’s newest lava fields and most spectacular scenery.
