As you travel, be sure to look out the windows at the jagged lava fields, dramatic mountains, and beautiful seascapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula, and listen as your guide tells you local tales and the story of how the eruption began.

Once you get near your breathtaking destination, you’ll depart the bus and begin the 1.5-hour hike required to reach it. Though your pace will be comfortable, this does go over some rough terrain so be sure to bring good hiking boots and a bottle of water!

Finally, Fagradalsfjall will unfold before you in all its glory. You’ll be breath taken as you explore along the banks of its lava rivers, witness its flaming craters, and shoot some of the most spectacular photos and videos. Your guide will have already briefed you on how to stay safe and will be keeping a watchful eye in the unlikely event of the conditions changing.

You’ll have 1.5 hours to absorb the majesty of the area before returning to the bus, and being driven back to Reykjavik. As you travel, marvel over the images and footage you have taken, and bask in the unforgettable memories you have just created.
