Your tour begins with private pickup from your accommodation in Reykjavik or from Keflavik International Airport. Because it's just you and your group, you don't need to wait for other travelers and can head to the Reykjanes Peninsula as soon as you're ready.
An experienced guide drives you in a new Mercedes Benz V-Class minivan.
Your first stop is Kleifarvatn Lake, the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula and a popular place for hiking and photography. Here, the volcanic landscape contrasts with the blue water.
Next, your driver takes you to Krysuvik Geothermal Area. You can see the bubbling hot springs from the boardwalk and read the information signs as you walk through the landscape of colorful hills and rising steam.
After Krysuvik Geothermal Area, you visit Grindavik, a fishing village known for its maritime history. Surrounded by lava fields and rugged coastline, Grindavik gives you a glimpse of traditional Icelandic life, with its harbor and seafood at the heart of its culture.
The tour's next stop is Brimketill Lava Rock Pool, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, where you can see the power of the ocean up close. According to folklore, it was the bathing pool of a giantess.
Then, your driver takes you to Gunnuhver Hot Springs. The hot springs are named after a ghost from Icelandic folklore, and they have steam vents and boiling mud pools.
Afterward, you see Reykjanesviti Lighthouse, which replaced the first lighthouse in Iceland, built in 1878. The present tower dates from 1908, and it overlooks the rugged coastline and the Atlantic Ocean.
The tour's final stops include the Bridge Between Continents, Sandvik Black Sand Beach, and the Blue Lagoon. You don't have time to bathe in the lagoon on this tour, but you can see the spa from outside.
