Reykjanes Peninsula Volcanic Tour With Optional Drop-off at the Blue Lagoon or Keflavik Airport

Explore the lava fields, lakes, and geothermal areas of the Reykjanes Peninsula, a UNESCO Global Geopark, on this small-group minibus tour from Reykjavik. At the end of the day, you can be dropped off at Keflavik Airport or the Blue Lagoon, or return to Reykjavik.

You drive southwest from Reykjavik through the lava fields of the Reykjanes Peninsula.

The first stops are two lakes. Kleifarvatn Lake is the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula, and Graenavatn Lake is known for its green color, caused by algae.

Next, you visit the Krysuvik Geothermal Area, with bubbling mud pools, hissing steam vents, and multicolored hills.

Then you head to the town of Grindavik to see the new lava fields from the recent volcanic eruptions. Access to the eruption site depends on volcanic activity.

At the Gunnuhver Geothermal Area, with its hot springs and mud pools, you hear the folklore and ghost stories of the place, which is named after a vengeful female spirit.

You also visit Reykjanesviti Lighthouse, which replaced Iceland's first lighthouse, with views of the coastline, the bird cliffs, and the Atlantic Ocean. Then you walk across the Bridge Between Continents, which spans the divide between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

After the tour, you can choose to be dropped off at Keflavik Airport, at the Blue Lagoon, or back at your accommodation in Reykjavik. If you'd like to end your day at the lagoon, secure your Blue Lagoon ticket in advance, as entry is not included.
