Active volcano erupting with flowing lava and ash in a mountain landscape.

Reykjanes peninsula (Day tour)

  • Reykjanes peninsula is now mostly known for its regular eruptions. Seven eruptions has happened since 2020.

    But Reykjanes has much more to offer, like nice sunrise, sunset, sometimes big waves, lighthouses, geology, geothermal areas, The Blue Lagoon and more.

    We drive around the peninsula and make a short stop at the most interesting places such as the Lava Pool, Gunnuhver, Reykjanesviti, Garðsviti. And of course we make a lunch stop at Grindavik, the town that was abandoned in November 2023 due to eruptions.

    If you have some special places you want to see, just let me know and we change our schedule according to that.

    From September to March it could be a good idea to extend the tour for Aurora photography.

  • You will be picked up at your hotel and shuttle back home in the end of the day.

  • Tour is available all year around

    NOTE: Daylight is shorter from October to March which might affect the length of the tour, but also gives an opportunity for a sunrise picture and perhaps a sunset.
