Description

Embark on an exciting journey across the volcanic landscape of the Reykjanes Peninsula in this five-hour private sightseeing tour. This trip takes you through southwest Iceland’s most iconic attractions with an expert local guide and the freedom to customize your experience to give you the perfect tour of the region.

The tour has pick-up options in Reykjavik, Keflavik, and Grindavik and can accommodate tourists of all ages. Your guide will help you personalize your trip with a flexible itinerary, so don’t hesitate to let them know how you’d like your tour to go.

Once you’ve boarded your private transport, you’ll set off around the peninsula, starting with the Bridge Between the Continents. This unique attraction in Iceland sits above the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian and American tectonic plates pull apart, letting you walk across two continents on foot.

Next, you can visit the Gunnuhver hot spring and learn the spooky folklore surrounding the steaming mud pool. Also close by is Iceland’s oldest lighthouse, Reykjanesviti, which can be seen up close after a hike on the cliffs next to the Atlantic ocean.

The small fishing town of Grindavik is the perfect place to stop for lunch, where you can choose between lobster or lamb soup. Nearby, you can also stop by the famous Blue Lagoon for photos or dip in their relaxing hot springs if you want to unwind before continuing your trip.

As you keep driving through the region, you’ll pass by many other wonders, such as the Seltun hot springs and the  Krysuvik geothermal area. You’ll also pass through the beautiful Lake Kleifarvatn and the port town of Hafnarfjordur.

Lastly, the peninsula is famous for the recently erupted Geldingadalur volcano, and the resulting lava fields are some of the most astonishing sights in southwest Iceland. You can take a volcano tour to see the stunning effects of the eruption on the nearby landscape.

You’ll be doing a lot of walking on this tour, so remember to bring comfortable shoes and wear weather-appropriate clothing. Your tour guide can also assist you with all your other requests and questions to make the tour more enjoyable for you.

Lock in your travel plans and take this one-of-a-kind private tour in Iceland that shows you all the diverse landscapes, rich history, and beautiful scenery of the Reykjanes Peninsula. Check availability now by choosing a date.
