Fagradalsfjall Volcano Hike – Small Group with Local Guide

Experience the thrill of hiking through Iceland’s most active volcanic landscape with a guided trek to Fagradalsfjall on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Led by knowledgeable local guides from Grindavík and Keflavík, this small-group adventure brings you face-to-face with fresh lava fields and dramatic volcanic scenery just 40 minutes from Reykjavík.

Your journey begins with a visit to the charming fishing village of Grindavík before heading towards the eruption zone. Depending on your chosen option, you can meet your guide in Grindavík with your rental car or enjoy a comfortable round-trip transfer from Reykjavík, making the experience flexible for every traveler.

The hike covers approximately 8 kilometers round-trip, with moderate elevation gains that are manageable for most active visitors. Walking poles are provided for extra support, and your guide will adjust the pace and route based on current volcanic activity and weather conditions, ensuring both safety and excitement.

When eruptions are active and safe, your guide will lead you as close as possible to glowing lava flows. If the volcano is quiet, you’ll still explore the stunning Fagradalsfjall area, taking in recent lava formations and panoramic views. Weather-dependent stops like Seltún geothermal area and Kleifarvatn Lake are included for those who select the pickup option.
