Description

Embark on an unforgettable hiking adventure from Reykjavík to the dramatic Fagradalsfjall volcano, led by an expert geologist. This guided experience in Iceland takes you across newly formed lava fields, where you’ll witness the ever-changing landscape created by recent volcanic eruptions.

Your journey begins with convenient pickup in Reykjavík, followed by a scenic drive through ancient lava fields toward the eruption site. Along the way, your guide shares fascinating insights about the geology of the Reykjanes peninsula and the forces shaping this remarkable region.

As you hike to the crater viewpoint, you’ll learn how the composition of lava influences the appearance of the rocks and discover the ongoing process of land formation. The trek is challenging, covering rough terrain, so prior hiking experience and sturdy gear are essential for your safety and enjoyment.

At the summit, take in breathtaking panoramic views of the volcanic landscape below. After soaking in the scenery, relax on the return drive to Reykjavík, passing steaming hot springs, tranquil lakes, and rugged mountains that showcase Iceland’s natural beauty.

This tour includes transportation from Reykjavík, guidance from a professional geologist, and safety equipment like headlamps and crampons if needed. Due to the demanding nature of the hike and changing volcanic conditions, this experience is best suited for well-prepared adventurers. Secure your spot today and experience Iceland’s raw power up close—spaces fill quickly!
