With more pickup options, it’s ideal for those just arriving in Iceland, making it easy to start exploring right away. From there, hop into your private transportation and head to the Reykjanes Peninsula with your English-speaking guide.
With a private guide, you’ll enjoy a tailored experience, exploring Iceland's volcanic landscapes at your own pace. You can ask questions, explore hidden gems, and customize the tour to match your interests.
The journey takes you to Reykjanes, a UNESCO Global Geopark surrounded by endless moss-covered lava fields. This region is home to the recent volcanic activities in Iceland, creating fresh lava formations that show the country's ever-changing landscape.
The first stop in the peninsula is the Bridge Between Continents, a unique landmark where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates drift apart. It's one of the few places on Earth where you can walk from one continent to another.
Next, feel the heat at Gunnuhver, Iceland's largest geothermal area. As you stroll along the boardwalk, thick steam rises, and bubbling mud pools hiss beneath your feet. The legend of a ghost named Gunna adds a mystical touch to this geothermal wonder.
Following the rugged coast, you'll arrive at Reykjanes Lighthouse. This lighthouse, built in 1878, has guided sailors through treacherous waters for over a century. Located near the peninsula's tip, you can soak in sweeping views of the wild North Atlantic Ocean.
Nearby, waves crash against the black volcanic rocks of Brimketill, a natural lava pool sculpted by the relentless sea. Watching the water slam into the cliffs is thrilling, and according to legend, this is where a troll once came to bathe.
While it might be tempting to take a dip, this is strictly a spot for sightseeing. Instead, it's a perfect place to soak in the dramatic coastal scenery, feel the salty wind on your face, and capture some incredible photos of nature's raw power.
Continue your Reykjanes tour at the Seltun Geothermal Area. Follow wooden boardwalks past steaming vents, boiling hot springs, and bubbling mud pools. The ground is stained in vivid shades of red, yellow, and white, creating an otherworldly landscape.
Finally, you'll reach the shores of Lake Kleifarvatn, a vast volcanic lake framed by dramatic cliffs and black sand beaches. The lake's deep waters mirror the shifting sky, offering a peaceful contrast to the steaming, wild landscape of the Reykjanes Peninsula.
After a day of volcanic wonders, legendary tales, and dramatic landscapes, you'll enjoy a relaxing drive back to Reykjavik.
