Private Super-Jeep – Reykjanes Explorer: Geothermal & Volcanic Wonders

Explore the unique geothermal and coastal wonders of Iceland on our Reykjanes Peninsula Adventure. Begin at Seltún, a colorful geothermal area where steam vents hiss, mud pools bubble, and mineral rich earth glows in vivid reds, yellows, and blues. This otherworldly landscape offers an up close glimpse into the raw energy of Iceland’s volcanic forces, making it a truly mesmerizing first stop.

Next, we visit the charming fishing town of Grindavík, where colorful harbor boats and salty sea air meet rugged volcanic terrain. The town sits remarkably close to recent volcanic eruptions, giving it a thrilling edge while still maintaining its peaceful, authentic coastal character. Here, you can feel the connection between Iceland’s natural power and the life of the communities that thrive alongside it.

Our journey continues to Brimketill, a dramatic lava rock pool carved over centuries by pounding ocean waves. Perched at the edge of rugged cliffs, the dark lava formations contrast beautifully with the foaming surf, creating a striking and photogenic display of nature’s artistry.

At Gunnuhver, the landscape shifts to one of Iceland’s most intense geothermal areas. Steam vents billow, and mud pools bubble vigorously, creating a dynamic, almost otherworldly scene. The sheer scale and heat of this geothermal field showcase the incredible forces constantly shaping the island beneath our feet.

We then stop at Reykjanes Lighthouse, Iceland’s oldest working lighthouse, standing proudly atop Bæjarfell hill. From here, visitors can take in the dramatic volcanic terrain and feel the enduring presence of the island’s maritime history. The nearby visitor center tells the story of shipwrecks, lightkeepers, and the lighthouse’s century long role guiding ships safely along Iceland’s rugged coast.

Finally, we arrive at the Bridge Between Continents, a symbolic footbridge spanning the rift where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Step across and literally stand between two continents, surrounded by black lava fields and the raw, ever changing Icelandic landscape, a remarkable reminder of the forces that continue to shape this island.

From steaming geothermal fields to volcanic coastlines and the meeting point of continents, this journey offers a full day of adventure, awe inspiring scenery, and unforgettable Icelandic experiences.

Seltún
Seltún is a striking geothermal area where the ground steams, bubbles, and glows with vivid colors created by rich minerals beneath the surface. Visitors can witness boiling mud pools, hissing steam vents, and bright red, yellow, and blue earth that feels almost otherworldly. It’s a dramatic, photogenic stop that showcases the raw energy of nature up close
Grindavík
Grindavík is a charming fishing town where colorful harbor boats and salty sea air meet rugged volcanic terrain. What makes it especially dramatic is how close it lies to recent fissure eruptions just hundreds of meters away. This gives the town a thrilling, raw edge feel, yet it remains peaceful and authentic, offering a true glimpse of coastal life beside Iceland’s powerful volcanic forces.
Brimketill
Brimketill is a dramatic natural lava rock pool formed by centuries of pounding ocean waves. Perched at the edge of a rugged cliff, it showcases the raw meeting point of volcanic rock and the powerful North Atlantic. Waves crash into the black lava formations with incredible force, creating a wild, striking scene that leaves a strong impression on visitors.
Gunnuhver
Gunnuhver is one of Iceland’s most powerful geothermal sites, known for its massive steaming vents and constantly boiling mud pools. The ground here trembles with heat as thick clouds of steam rise from the earth, creating a dramatic, almost haunting atmosphere. It’s a striking display of geothermal force and one of the most intense hot spring areas in the country.
Reykjanes Lighthouse
Reykjanes Lighthouse, Iceland’s oldest working lighthouse, stands proudly atop Bæjarfell hill, offering sweeping views over the volcanic landscape and distant North Atlantic. Built in 1907, the white tower with its red lantern has guided ships safely along the rugged coast for over a century.
Bridge Between Continents
The Bridge Between Continents is a symbolic footbridge spanning a small rift in the earth where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Standing on the bridge, visitors can literally straddle two continents at once, surrounded by rugged lava fields and the raw, ever-shifting landscape of Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula. It’s a unique and memorable spot that highlights the dynamic geological forces shaping the island.
