Important information!  Blue Lagoon is temporarily closed due to an eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula. For more information you can visit www.re.is/volcanic-eruption-on-reykjanes/

We highly recommend visiting some of the other beautiful hot spring tours that we offer.

Situated less then an hour's drive from Reykjavík, Hvammsvík is a hidden gem among Iceland's tourist attractions. This captivating geothermal spa is beautifully situated in a serene fjord surrounded by unspoiled nature.

If you're looking to stay close to the city, you can immerse yourself in warmth at the oceanside geothermal Sky Lagoon, located only a few kilometers outside Reykjavík.

Join one of the most popular locations in Iceland, Gullfoss, Geysir and Þingvellir with a fun twist to a geothermal bath on our Golden Circle and Fontana tour

For a relaxed evening with a change of catching the amazing Northern Lights we recommend   Northern Lights & Fontana Geothermal Baths

The Reykjanes Geopark is located on a peninsula divided between two continents. This unique placement of the Reykjanes Peninsula on the drift zone between the North American and the Eurasian continental plates makes it a true Volcanic Wonder.

We start the day by exploring one of the most iconic features of the Icelandic volcanic landscape, the boiling mud pools of Seltún, and the steaming colorful surrounding landscape.

As we drive along the Reykjanes peninsula, you are constantly in the presence of the roaring Atlantic Ocean, endless lava fields, and volcanic craters. An alien landscape, decorated by windblown palagonite and petrified troll formations.

Next up in our adventure is the youngest volcano in Iceland, Fagradalsfjall Volcano, and the surrounding lava fields. The hike up to the craters takes about 40 minutes, where you will be able to explore the devastating yet beautiful aftermath of this recent volcanic eruption.

After the volcano hike, we stop by the bridge between continents, where you can walk between the continental plates that divide the peninsula. This stop underlines this unique placement directly on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Before dropping you off at the Blue Lagoon, we stop by the largest mud pool in Iceland, Gunnuhver. You can feel the ground shake from the enormous power released from the boiling water and steam released.

The bus from Blue Lagoon to Reykjavík is at 20:15
