Overview

Join our local-guided volcano tour to Fagradalsfjall—led by those who witnessed the eruptions first-hand.
This is more than a hike. It’s a deep, real experience into Iceland’s volcanic heart, guided by locals who live near the eruption zone and were among the first to explore it safely after the 2021 event.

Walk across dramatic lava fields, view steaming craters, and gain rare insights into the geology and eruptions that shaped the Reykjanes Peninsula. We don’t just take you to the volcano—we also visit the evacuated town of Grindavík, the colorful geothermal area of Seltún, and the mysterious lake Kleifarvatn.

✔️ Certified local guides with real eruption experience
✔️ Includes stops most tours skip (Grindavík, Seltún, Kleifarvatn)
✔️ Available as private or small-group
✔️ No rush—ask questions, take your time, enjoy the moment
