On this guided day trip, explore the Reykjanes Peninsula's top geothermal sites including the not-to-be-missed Fagradalsfjall and Meradlir volcanoes.

    • Explore the Reykjanes Peninsula on a guided day tour, with expert commentary on Iceland’s volcanic activity and ever-changing geological landscape.

    • Hike near Fagradalsfjall, visiting areas shaped by eruptions from 2021 through 2023, with views of lava fields formed just years ago.

    • Experience Iceland’s geothermal power up close at Seltún and Gunnuhver, where boiling mud pools and steam vents mark intense underground activity.

    • Walk between tectonic plates at the Bridge Between Continents, then stop by Kleifarvatn Lake and Reykjanesviti lighthouse for striking photo moments.

    • Fun fact: Reykjanes sits directly on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian plates drift apart by about 2 cm each year.
