Description
Explore the lighthouses, geothermal areas, and lava fields of the Reykjanes Peninsula and end the day at the Sky Lagoon on this small-group tour from Reykjavik.
Your first stop is the village of Gardur, where two historic lighthouses stand on the windswept Atlantic coast, a reminder of Iceland's seafaring past.
Next, you visit the Bridge Between Continents, where you can walk from the North American to the Eurasian tectonic plate over a rift in the Earth's crust.
Then you see the Stampar Craters, a row of volcanic cones formed during the Reykjanes Fires in the 13th century.
Nearby is Reykjanesviti Lighthouse, which replaced Iceland's first lighthouse, on top of sea cliffs with views over the ocean.
At Gunnuhver Hot Springs, the country's largest mud pool, steam rises from the ground, and the area is tied to a ghost story from Icelandic folklore.
You also walk across the lava fields of Fagradalsfjall Volcano, formed by the eruptions in 2021 and 2022.
The last stop on the peninsula is Seltun Geothermal Area, with bubbling mud pots and brightly colored ground.
To end the day, you visit the Sky Lagoon, where you soak in warm geothermal water overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and complete the 7-step spa ritual. Then you're driven back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.
