Description

Experience the raw power of Icelandic nature on a guided hiking adventure from Reykjavík to the Reykjanes Peninsula. Explore dramatic volcanic landscapes, including the recent eruption site at Litli Hrútur, where new lava fields and smoldering earth create an unforgettable scene.

Your journey begins with a convenient pickup in Reykjavík, followed by a scenic drive through the striking countryside. Stop at Lake Kleifarvatn to admire its black sand beaches and rugged mountain backdrop before heading toward the heart of the volcanic region.

Prepare for a moderate to challenging hike, approximately two hours each way, as you approach the eruption site north of Meradalir. Your guide will always choose the safest route, ensuring you get the best possible views of the lava fields and surrounding valleys. Remember to bring a packed lunch to enjoy during your trek.

After the hike, continue your exploration along the Reykjanes Peninsula, where ancient lava fields are blanketed in soft green moss. Visit the steaming Gunnuhver Hot Springs, the historic Reykjanes Lighthouse, and the dramatic Valhnúkamöl Boulder Ridge shaped by the Atlantic Ocean.

Conclude your adventure at the Bridge Between Continents, where you can literally walk between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. With included transport, an expert guide, and onboard WiFi, this nine-hour tour offers an immersive way to discover Iceland’s volcanic wonders. Book your spot now and witness nature’s power up close!
