Description

The private Reykjanes, Blue Lagoon, Lava Tunnel, and the Northern lights by jeep is a perfect tour for all geology lovers. During this tour, you will be amazed by various types of Icelandic landscapes. From black sand deserts, basalt cliffs, blue geothermal Blue Lagoon, volcanoes, steaming geothermal areas, colorful lava caves, and much more. 

You will be picked up from your accommodation in Reykjavik with a comfortable 4x4 jeep and head South to visit the fantastic Raufarhólshellir lava cave. (Entrance ticket not included). You will spend 1h in the lava tunnel where an experienced local guide will share with you all the knowledge about the various lava formations, how the lava caves are created, different types of minerals, and the volcanic nature of Iceland. You will also have enough time to take breathtaking photographs of the colourful lava formations and shinning bacteria that cover the walls.  

The next highlight of this incredible tour will be the Reykjanes UNESCO Geopark, one of Iceland’s geological gems where tectonic movements are always present. The main attractions of the Reykjanes Geopark are the mesmerizing Kleifarvatn and Grænavatn lakes, the steamy geothermal hills of Krýsuvík and Seltún. 

On your next stop, you will have a walk on the paths between hot springs and mud pools in the Gunnuhver geothermal area. You will also visit one of the oldest lighthouses in Iceland - Reykjanesviti. Later you will cross the bridge between two continents between the North American and the European tectonic plates which are continually spreading. 

After a day full of attractions, you will visit one of the most popular natural pools in Iceland - the famous Blue Lagoon (approx. 1,5 hours of geothermal relaxation). Please note that the Blue Lagoon ticket is not included in the price and must be booked at least two weeks in advance at www.bluelagoon.is. The visit to the Blue Lagoon is optional, and it is possible also to take a walk around the geothermal area and take photos of steamy blue pools and green lava fields. It is also possible to have a coffee at the Blue Lagoon cafe. 

At the end of the tour, you will try your luck and hunt for the fantastic Northern Lights. During the trip, your guide will be continually checking the aurora forecast to find the best possible spots for you to see this spectacular natural phenomenon away from the city light pollution and in the middle of the Icelandic breath-taking nature. Please note that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and can never be guaranteed and the aurora season in Iceland is from mid-August to mid-April.

Don’t miss the chance to take in all of these attractions in comfort. Secure your place by selecting a date.
