Enjoy the comfort and exclusivity of a private tour as you travel through landscapes shaped by fire and time. Over six unforgettable hours, you’ll visit the peninsula’s most dramatic sights, from steaming hot springs to the fresh lava flows of recent eruptions.
Throughout the journey, you’ll travel in a super jeep built for Iceland’s rugged terrain, allowing you to reach hidden spots in comfort and with extra flexibility. With your knowledgeable guide, you’ll uncover the stories behind Iceland’s ever-changing landscape.
Your journey begins with pickup from your Reykjavik accommodation. In less than an hour, the city gives way to vast lava fields and rugged, moon-like landscapes.
One of the first highlights is Seltun Geothermal Area, a colorful field of bubbling mud pots and steaming vents. Bright mineral deposits in shades of red, yellow, and green cover the ground, creating a vivid contrast with the rising steam.
Safe walking paths at Seltun allow you to explore at your own pace, while your guide explains the geothermal forces shaping the land.
Not far from Seltun, you’ll find the Kleifarvatn Lake. It’s the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula and one of the deepest in Iceland at 318 feet (97 meters). Its surroundings are covered in moss-topped lava fields. A row of volcanoes stretches along the lake’s length, creating a dramatic setting for your photos.
The highlight of the day is the Fagradalsfjall Lava Field, formed by recent volcanic eruptions that made global headlines. Here, you’ll see fresh black lava still marked by the shapes of fiery flows, with gentle steam rising in some areas. Although the scenery is dramatic, the site is carefully monitored and completely safe to visit.
Standing on the edge of this young lava field, it’s easy to feel Iceland’s raw power as new land forms before your eyes. Accessible paths let you get close to the site, and your guide will ensure you enjoy the views safely from designated viewpoints.
Next, you’ll visit Gunnuhver Geothermal Area, where Iceland’s largest hot spring sends columns of steam high into the air. Here, you can feel and hear mud pools bubble across the mineral-rich ground. Your guide may share the local legend of Gunna, a restless spirit said to be trapped here.
Depending on time, your guide may even include bonus stops at lesser-known lava fields or geothermal sites along the peninsula.
As the Reykjanes tour wraps up, you’ll enjoy a scenic drive back to Reykjavik. With views of volcanic craters, endless lava plains, and geothermal steam rising on the horizon, it’s the perfect conclusion to a day of exploration.
