Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Reykjavik. As you leave the city behind, the road leads you into the heart of Iceland’s volcanic region, where vast lava fields stretch to the horizon.
The stops below are just some of the amazing sights you can expect to see on your private Reykjanes tour.
At the Bridge Between Continents, you can walk across the symbolic rift where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. This short bridge spans just 50 feet (15 meters), but it represents one of the world’s most fascinating geological boundaries.
A flat paved path makes access easy, and you can even pick up a commemorative certificate at the nearby information center.
Next, stop at Kleifarvatn Lake, one of Iceland’s deepest at 318 feet (97 meters). As the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula, its still waters and surrounding volcanic hills create a peaceful, dramatic backdrop that’s perfect for photos.
Then it’s on to the Seltun Geothermal Area, where you’ll step into a surreal world of steaming vents, bubbling mud pools, and colorful mineral deposits. A well-maintained boardwalk guides you safely through the site, with signs explaining the geothermal activity.
Short hiking trails nearby offer great views over the geothermal zone and the surrounding volcanic hills.
If you’re in the mood for even more relaxation, you can end your tour with an optional visit to the Blue Lagoon. Surrounded by black lava and milky-blue water, this world-famous spa is the perfect way to unwind.
Separately, you can book your admission and choose from two Blue Lagoon packages. The Comfort package includes entry, a mud mask, a towel, and one drink. Meanwhile, the Premium package adds another mask, slippers, a bathrobe, and a table at the Lava Restaurant. A glass of sparkling wine is served if you choose to dine.
After soaking in the warm, mineral-rich waters, your guide will take you back to Reykjavik, wrapping up your unforgettable private Reykjanes tour.
