Description
See Iceland's volcanic landscapes and look for the northern lights on this private jeep tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula. The tour suits travelers who want to make the most of their time in Iceland, with optional stops at Raufarholshellir Lava Tunnel and the Blue Lagoon.
Your day begins with pickup from your hotel in Reykjavik. A luxury 4x4 jeep, driven by your private guide, is your transportation for the whole trip.
Heading south, you start with an optional lava caving tour at Raufarholshellir Lava Tunnel. One of the longest lava tubes in Iceland, the cave has colorful rock formations and mineral patterns that tell the story of Iceland's volcanic past.
Inside, a local guide explains the science and history of the cave as you walk through ancient lava flows and see its natural rock formations.
After the lava cave, the tour continues to Reykjanes Geopark, a UNESCO Global Geopark known for its geothermal and geological features.
Two lakes on the Reykjanes Peninsula are part of your itinerary. Kleifarvatn Lake, the deepest lake on the peninsula, is framed by dark volcanic sands, while Graenavatn Lake has emerald-green water.
A short drive from here brings you to Seltun Geothermal Area, where wooden paths take you close to hot springs, steaming vents, and bubbling mud pools.
At Reykjanesviti Lighthouse and the nearby Gunnuhver Geothermal Area, you see the coastal cliffs and hear local legends of ghosts passed down over generations.
Your guide also takes you to the Viking World Museum, where you can learn about the Viking heritage of Iceland and see artifacts such as a full-sized replica of a Viking ship.
You can also choose to stop at the Blue Lagoon, where you can relax in the mineral-rich geothermal water surrounded by 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 when you book.
As evening falls, your private guide takes you to look for the northern lights. With luck and a good forecast, you may see the aurora move across the sky.
At the end of the tour, you return to your accommodation in Reykjavik.
