Description

Experience the thrill of witnessing a captivating current phenomenon on this active Litli-Hrutur volcano hike tour! This tour is perfect for those seeking a moderate to demanding hike and are intrigued by the marvels of volcanic activity.

Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your accommodation or from the port in Reykjavik. From there, you'll head towards the Reykjanes peninsula, where the Litli-Hrutur volcano awaits your arrival. The eruption that occurred on July 10, 2023, in the Geldingadalur region presents a unique opportunity to witness this active volcano up close.

As you traverse the six-mile (10-kilometer) path to the designated safety zone near the volcano, your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights and stories about the surrounding landscape. Along the way, you'll encounter signs and guidance from civil protection personnel, ensuring a safe and memorable experience.

Reaching the safe-marked area, you'll be in awe as you witness the mesmerizing lava flows and occasional small eruptions. You'll have ample time, approximately one to two hours, to take photographs, learn more about volcanic phenomena from your guide, and even take a leisurely stroll around the crater's various slopes.

The return journey will follow the same path back to the starting point, where your vehicle will be waiting to take you back to Reykjavik, concluding the excursion.

This small-group tour offers a fantastic 1:16 ratio, ensuring an intimate experience with your guide. The hike is moderate in difficulty, making it suitable for participants aged 12 years and above with good physical fitness.

To ensure your comfort during the hike, make sure to wear sturdy trekking boots and bring optional walking sticks. It's essential to carry enough water, food, and other necessary provisions for the entire day, as Iceland's weather can be unpredictable. Therefore, don't forget to bring warm and waterproof clothing that can be easily adjusted as needed.

Remember that safety is paramount, and this excursion operates under the guidelines of Icelandic authorities. The accessibility to the volcano area depends on its current state, and if any changes arise, the route may be modified accordingly. However, rest assured that the tour ensures compliance with all safety measures.

Get up close and personal with the mesmerizing lava flows and occasional small eruptions of the Litli-Hrutur volcano. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Book now to be a part of this exciting natural spectacle!
