Private 5-Hour Reykjadalur Hot Spring River Bath with Hiking and Transfer from Reykjavik

Combine relaxation with adventure on this five-hour Reykjdadalur hot spring river bathing and hiking. This tour, which includes a private guide and roundtrip transportation from Reykjavik, is perfect for those looking for a unique yet refreshing journey into Icelandic nature.

The adventure begins with a comfortable pick-up from Reykjavik, where you'll meet your local guide. Your pick-up point will be the nearest tour bus stop near your accommodation for a more convenient start to your day.

From Reykjavik, you'll journey roughly 31 miles (50 kilometers) through Southwest Iceland. The short drive offers beautiful views of valleys, mountains, and lava fields. Your destination is the trailhead to Reykjadalur, which is located just outside the town of Hveragerdi. 

While Iceland is known for its many geothermal attractions like the Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon, Reykjadalur offers a more rugged, natural experience away from the crowds. Unlike developed spa facilities, Reykjadalur's hot springs are nestled within an untouched valley, offering visitors a more immersive setting in the wild Icelandic landscape.

Reykjadalur is known for its geothermal features that require a fascinating trek through bubbling mud pools, steam rising from the earth, and vibrant hillsides. 

The hike itself covers about 2.2 miles (3.5 kilometers) each way, winding through scenic views that capture the heart of Iceland's rugged beauty. 

Along the way, you'll experience the shifting landscape, which changes with the geothermal activity, all the while guided by an expert who shares insights into the area's unique geology and history. This guided approach ensures a safe, informative, and memorable experience.

Upon reaching the end of the trail, you'll arrive at the highlight of the tour, the naturally heated hot springs of Reykjadalur. Here, you can immerse yourself in the warm waters and unwind in a natural hot spring river surrounded by an Icelandic valley. 

These waters offer a one-of-a-kind bathing experience, as they are directly heated by the geothermal activity beneath Iceland's surface. It's a refreshing and revitalizing way to connect with nature and a satisfying reward after the hike.

After your time in the hot springs, you'll dry off, gather your belongings, and begin your return hike. From there, your guide will drive you back to Reykjavik, giving you time to relax, reflect, and take in the memories of your day.

For a comfortable and enjoyable trip, it's recommended to bring warm, waterproof clothing in layers, sturdy hiking boots, swimwear, and a towel. Snacks, water, and perhaps a camera to capture the beauty of the journey are also advised.
