Overview

Discover the dramatic forces shaping the Reykjanes Peninsula on this tour. Once a thriving fishing village, Grindavík now stands as a reminder of nature’s relentless power, transformed by recent volcanic activity.

Your journey begins with a pickup in Reykjavík and a scenic drive through volcanic landscapes. The first stop is the Seltún Geothermal Area, where steaming vents and bubbling mud pools showcase Iceland’s raw geothermal energy.

Next, hike to a viewpoint near Fagradalsfjall Volcano. This 45-minute hike rewards you with sweeping views of lava fields formed by recent eruptions, offering a glimpse into the incredible power of one of Iceland’s youngest volcanoes.

The journey continues to Grindavík, where protective barriers built by residents stand as a testament to human resilience. Explore dramatic tectonic rifts and lava formations before enjoying a traditional fish and chips lunch.

Return to Reykjavík with unforgettable memories of Iceland’s volcanic wonders.
