  • Itinerary

Notice: Due to the ongoing volcanic eruption, our Volcano Shuttle currently operates only up to the area with access to fresh lava. The shuttle will not go to the usual viewpoint.

Buckle up for an unforgettable journey through Iceland’s youngest volcanic landscapes! The Volcano Shuttle is a thrilling Superjeep off-road experience that brings you up close to the raw beauty and power of recent eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula — without the need for long hikes.

Departing from the Fagradalsfjall parking lot, this guided adventure features three incredible stops, each offering a unique view into Iceland’s ever-evolving volcanic terrain.

This tour is perfect for those who are unable or prefer not to hike the 2–3 hours typically required to reach the new lava fields on foot. Instead you ride in a specially modified 4×4 Superjeep, built to conquer rough terrain, steep mountain roads, and lava-strewn trails that ordinary vehicles can't reach. This is not just transportation — it’s part of the adventure.

Tour Highlights:

  1. Travel in comfort in a heavily modified Superjeep with raised suspension, large tires, and off-road capability
  2. Ride a mountain trail to reach dramatic viewpoints most visitors never see
  3. Visit three distinct volcanic view points that each gives a unique view of the eruptions that have taken place over the past few years
  4. Stunning viewpoints, epic photo ops, and a chance to touch freshly formed lava
  5. Exclusive off-road access to areas unreachable by standard vehicles or any other companies
  6. Learn from local guides who bring the region’s geology, eruption history and volcanic stories to life

The Three Stops:

  1. View over Geldingadalir – Your first stop takes you to a mountaintop with sweeping views over the Geldingadalir lava fields, formed during the dramatic eruption in 2021 — the first in Reykjanes in nearly 800 years.
  2. Sundhnúkagígar Crater Row – The second stop offers a striking view over the Sundhnúkagígar lava fields, born from eruptions in 2023 and 2024. The fresh black lava stretching across the landscape tells the story of powerful and recent volcanic activity.
  3. Lava Close-Up Experience – The final stop brings you to the edge of the newest lava. You may even feel the heat still radiating from the ground, marvel at the scale of the flow, and even touch the rugged, newly formed lava — a rare and memorable encounter.

Meeting Point:

Fagradalsfjall Parking Lot – Convenient and easy to find, just 40 minutes from Reykjavík, with parking available (parking fees may apply).

Join the Volcano Shuttle and experience Iceland’s newest landscapes the way few ever will — no hiking required, just pure adventure, insight, and awe.
