Description

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with the Reykjanes Peninsula Volcano Eruption Sites and Hiking Tour from Reykjavík, Iceland. This full-day experience takes you deep into the heart of the country's most active volcanic landscapes, where you will witness recent eruption sites and dramatic natural wonders shaped by millennia of geological activity.

Your journey begins with a convenient pickup in Reykjavík, followed by a scenic drive through the rugged beauty of the Reykjanes Peninsula. Marvel at the tranquil black sand shores of Lake Kleifarvatn, framed by stunning volcanic mountains, and get your camera ready for breathtaking panoramic views.

Lace up your hiking boots for a rewarding trek towards Litli-Hrutur, north of Meradalir. The hike, rated moderate to hard and lasting about two hours each way, brings you close to the captivating new lava fields. Conditions on the day dictate the exact route, always ensuring your safety and the best possible viewing spots.

After soaking in the raw power of Iceland's volcanic terrain, continue to the steaming Gunnuhver Hot Springs, where you can feel the earth's energy beneath your feet. Visit the iconic Reykjanes Lighthouse and admire the dramatic sea cliffs and boulder ridges sculpted by the Atlantic Ocean's relentless waves.

Wrap up your adventure at the Bridge Between Continents, where you can stand with one foot in Europe and the other in North America, symbolizing the meeting of tectonic plates. With memories and stunning photos secured, return to Reykjavík. Spots fill fast for this unique volcanic experience, so check availability and book your place now!
