Uncover the geological marvels of the Reykjanes Peninsula, a UNESCO Global Geopark situated at the meeting point of two continents. From steaming geothermal areas to fresh lava fields and soothing geothermal spas, this tour promises a journey through Iceland’s raw and captivating landscapes.

This carbon-neutral tour combines the dramatic stories of resilience and natural forces with soothing geothermal indulgence. Your adventure begins with a pickup in Reykjavík, followed by a scenic drive through the Reykjanes Geopark, a UNESCO-recognized wonderland of geological marvels.

Seltún Geothermal Area

Our first stop is Seltún, one of Iceland’s most vibrant geothermal hotspots. Admire the colorful, steaming ground, bubbling mud pools, and hissing springs that showcase the Earth’s raw geothermal energy.

Fagradalsfjall Volcano Hike

Next, visit Fagradalsfjall, one of Iceland’s youngest volcanoes. Hike through otherworldly terrain to a scenic viewpoint overlooking expansive lava fields created by recent eruptions. This moderately challenging hike covers 5.5 kilometers (3.4 miles) round trip, with an elevation gain of 300 meters (985 feet). Along the way, your expert guide will share insights into the region’s volcanic history and geology. You’ll have time to explore, take photos, and even touch rocks formed just three years ago.

Grindavík Fishing Village

After the hike, travel to the charming coastal town of Grindavík. This resilient fishing village has adapted to nature’s power, as seen in the dramatic rift running through the town. Learn about the protective measures in place to shield Grindavík from volcanic activity and enjoy a delicious lunch of fresh Icelandic fish and chips at a beloved local spot.

Sky Lagoon Retreat
