Take advantage of this private six-hour tour from Reykjavik to see the wonders of the Reykjanes peninsula. With a customizable itinerary and friendly guide, this excursion invites you to experience geothermal marvels, scenic coastal vistas, and intriguing cultural landmarks up close.

Your tour begins in Reykjavik, where you'll be picked up at your hotel or preferred location for a seamless start to your adventure. Reykjavik's harbor and the Keflavik International Airport can also be your starting points.

With the flexibility of a private tour, you can explore at your own pace and adapt the day's itinerary to match your preferences. Your guide will provide top-notch commentary and assistance as you journey through the highlights and hidden gems of Reykjanes.

Reykjanes peninsula is a region south of Reykjavik renowned for its geothermal areas, dramatic coastlines, and historical sites. This area of Iceland is less explored and just usually traversed by people traveling between Iceland's capital and the international airport at Keflavik.

However, there's much more to see in Reykjanes, and you have at least six hours to see its beauty on this tour.

Kick off your journey with a visit to Gunnuhver hot springs, an impressive geothermal area where thick clouds of steam rise from bubbling hot pools. Named after a legendary ghost, Gunnuhver offers an intriguing glimpse into Iceland's geothermal activity.

Gunnuhver has wooden boardwalks that lead you close enough to feel the heat radiate from the earth.

Next is the Bridge Between Continents, where you can see firsthand the power of tectonic forces that shape Iceland between the North American and Eurasian plates. This symbolic footbridge highlights Iceland's unique geological position and is an ideal spot for unforgettable photos.  

If accessible, a stop in the coastal village of Grindavik offers insight into the lives of Iceland's fishing communities, rich with history and traditional charm. The town is also near expanses of lava fields created by the peninsula's recent fissures and volcanic eruptions.

Continuing along the coastline, you'll arrive at Reykjanesviti Lighthouse, Iceland's oldest lighthouse. While learning about its history, you can enjoy the surrounding windswept cliffs and ocean waves.

Other possible stops in the itinerary include the serene Kleifarvatn and Graenavatn lakes. Both lakes reflect the intense geothermal energy beneath the peninsula's surface. Their colors and quiet ambiance perfectly contrast the dynamic geothermal zones.

For a truly relaxing finale, you might choose an extended visit to the famous Blue Lagoon. With its soothing, mineral-rich waters surrounded by a volcanic landscape, the Blue Lagoon offers a rejuvenating experience. 

Entrance fees and additional hours are not included in the standard tour duration, so please plan for extra time and cost if you wish to relax here.

Your tour finishes back in Reykjavik with a drop-off at your accommodation.
