Kleifarvatn Lake

We kick off at Kleifarvatn, the largest and deepest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula, just a short drive from Reykjavík. At 97 meters deep, it has no inlets or outlets, relying on groundwater. Local legends say a serpent-like creature lurks beneath its dark waters. As you take in the stunning views, your guide will share thrilling stories of the lake monster, setting the stage for an exciting adventure!

Nátthagi Valley

Next, we’ll stop at Nátthagi, a stunning valley near the Fagradalsfjall volcano. Famous for its 2021 eruption after 6,000 years of dormancy, the volcano unleashed fiery lava for six months, shaping one of Iceland’s most remarkable eruptions. Today, you’ll explore the vast lava field, with dramatic rock formations and frozen lava ridges. A short 20 minute hike takes us to the Nátthagi viewpoint, offering a breathtaking view of this volcanic wonder!(NOTE: the hike to the lava field is approximately 20 minutes but passengers must be comfortable on uneven paths and rugged terrain)

Grindavik

Arriving in Grindavík, we step into a town forever altered by nature’s forces. Once a busy fishing hub, it was reshaped by powerful volcanic eruptions in late 2023, forcing an evacuation and leaving it eerily empty. Though now safe and reopened, the scars remain—abandoned homes frozen in time and cracked roads from seismic activity. This rare glimpse into Iceland’s dynamic geology shows the raw power of nature at work.

Svartsengi

Our next stop takes us to the newly formed Sundhnúkagígar / Svartsengi lava field, a stunning testament to Iceland’s ever-changing landscape. Just outside Grindavík, this raw and rugged terrain was born from some of the country’s most recent volcanic eruptions. These events, just as recent as 2024, captivated the world. Here, you’ll step onto a brand-new section of Earth, where steam still rises from the cooling lava, offering an up-close look at nature’s fiery creativity in action.After immersing ourselves in this extraordinary volcanic wonder, we’ll journey back to Reykjavík, winding through the breathtaking Icelandic countryside. As we reflect on the day’s unforgettable experiences, we’ll arrive in the capital by early evening—just in time for you to unwind or dive into the city’s lively atmosphere.
