Experience Iceland’s incredible volcanic landscapes and magical northern lights on this 12-hour private jeep tour of the Reykjanes peninsula. This journey is ideal for those who want to maximize their time in Iceland because it includes optional stops at Raufarholshellir lava cave and the Blue Lagoon.
Your day begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in Reykjavik. A luxury 4x4 jeep, driven by your friendly private guide, will be your transportation for the entire trip.
Heading south, you’ll start with an exciting optional lava caving experience at Raufarholshellir. As the fourth-longest lava tube in Iceland, this cave offers a mesmerizing underground world of colorful rock formations and unique mineral patterns that tell the story of Iceland’s volcanic past.
Inside, a local guide will share the science and history of the cave, allowing you to walk through ancient lava flows and admire one-of-a-kind natural sculptures.
After your time in the lava cave, the tour continues to the stunning Reykjanes Geopark, a UNESCO Global Geopark known for its geothermal and geological wonders.
Two unique lakes of Reykjanes are part of your itinerary. Kleifarvatn lake is the deepest in the peninsula and is framed by dark volcanic sands, while Graemavatn lake boasts emerald waters.
A short drive from here brings you to Seltun’s geothermal area. The area has wooden paths that will allow you to encounter hot springs, steaming vents, and bubbling mud pools closely.
At the iconic Reykjanesviti lighthouse and nearby Gunnuhver geothermal area, you’ll marvel at the stunning coastal cliffs and hear local legends of ghosts and haunting tales passed down over generations.
For a unique component of your tour, the guide will take you to the Viking World. Here, you can learn more about the Viking heritage of Iceland and see artifacts like a full-sized replica of a Viking ship.
One of the day’s highlights is an optional stop at the Blue Lagoon, where you can unwind in the mineral-rich, geothermal waters and enjoy a truly luxurious experience surrounded by the stark beauty of Iceland’s lava fields.
Please note that admission to the Blue Lagoon requires advance booking and is not included in the tour price. You can add an entrance ticket of your choice during the booking process.
As evening falls, your private guide will take you on a quest to witness the northern lights. With luck and the favorable forecast, you may see the auroras dance above, a dazzling display of colors and movement across the Icelandic sky.
Please remember that sightings cannot be guaranteed, as the lights depend on weather conditions and solar activity.
