Description

Experience an unforgettable afternoon hiking adventure from Reykjavík to the remarkable Litli-Hrutur volcano site in Iceland. This guided tour takes you through the dramatic Geldingadalur Valley, where recent eruptions have created a mesmerizing landscape of smoldering lava and volcanic formations.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Reykjavík, offering breathtaking views of the Fagradalsfjall Volcano, Meradalir, and the ever-changing terrain of Geldingadalur. Along the way, your expert guide shares fascinating insights into the area's volcanic history and the science behind these natural phenomena.

Once at the valley, gear up for a moderate to challenging hike, which takes about two hours each way. As you approach the eruption site, you'll witness the raw power of nature, with the chance to see steaming earth and the remnants of recent lava flows. Bring your own snacks and water to enjoy at the viewing point while soaking in the unique atmosphere.

The tour includes a knowledgeable guide, headlamp, and all necessary entry fees, ensuring a safe and informative experience. Please note that food and drinks are not provided, so come prepared. The hike's duration may vary depending on volcanic activity and route conditions, adding an element of excitement to your adventure.

Group sizes are kept small for a personalized experience, and English-speaking guides ensure everyone feels included. Secure your spot now to witness Iceland's volcanic wonders up close—spaces fill quickly!
