Explore the geology and nature of the Reykjanes Peninsula, a UNESCO Global Geopark, on this private tour from Reykjavik. The tour suits nature lovers, amateur geologists, and families.
Your tour begins with pickup at your chosen location. You can tailor the tour to your interests and create your own itinerary from the places below. You can't see all of them on one tour, so you choose the stops with your guide.
Explore Seltun, a geothermal field in Krysuvik, with its bright colors, bubbling mud pools, and boiling water. See Brimketill, a natural pool by the ocean, and watch the waves crash from a nearby viewing platform.
See Eldey Island, a small island with one of the largest northern gannet colonies in the world, from Valahnukamol, a good viewpoint on the coast. Visit Reykjanesviti Lighthouse, which replaced the first lighthouse in Iceland after earthquakes and surf damaged the original.
Visit Gunnuhver Geothermal Area, with its many mud pools and hot springs. Legend has it that a vengeful female ghost named Gunna lives there. Stand on the Bridge Between Continents, which spans the rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.
See Kleifarvatn Lake, surrounded by lava fields and rock formations, a popular place for photography. Explore Hopsnes Peninsula, with its history of shipwrecks and abandoned houses, and see the lava formations that shaped the landscape.
As add-ons, you can relax in the Blue Lagoon, surrounded by volcanic landscapes, or join a guided tour of the eruption sites at Fagradalsfjall Volcano, which erupted in 2021, 2022, and 2023, and learn about the geology of the eruptions.
You can also add stops at Gardskagaviti, home to two lighthouses and a nesting area for many birds, and at Hvalsneskirkja Church, a stone church known for its remote setting, especially when the northern lights appear in the winter sky. All add-ons are at your own expense.
