Many travelers overlook the Reykjanes Peninsula, yet it offers a great deal to see and experience. This tour is rich in culture and natural treasures, an easy drive from Keflavik International Airport or Reykjavik, perfect for your arrival or departure in the land of fire and ice.
Your morning pickup from Reykjavik will be in a comfortable vehicle tailored to the size of your group, ensuring a stress-free start to your day. A private guide will pick you up from your accommodation or meet you at the airport to begin the tour.
Today’s first stop is Kleifarvatn, the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula. This scenic lake is the perfect spot to stop and take in the fresh air. It boasts stunning natural beauty and is a much-loved area for hiking and photography.
The next attraction is the Seltun Geothermal Area, south of Lake Kleifarvatn. Here, you can check out the steaming hot springs and boiling mud pits as you stroll along the wooden deck and appreciate the fascinating landscape.
After Seltun, your driver will take you to Grindavik, a fishing town, and then further west to the bridge that spans the divide between two continents. This footbridge sits in the rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates and runs parallel to the direction of the plates' separation. The gap between the continents is several kilometers wide, so the bridge is symbolic rather than an actual connection.
Your next stop is the nearby sea cliffs, with breathtaking coastal vistas and abundant birdlife. The Gunnuhver Hot Springs offer another opportunity to visit an impressive geothermal area before seeing Reykjanesviti, Iceland’s oldest lighthouse.
After seeing the diverse natural landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula, your driver will stop at a location where you can purchase lunch. The sightseeing portion of the trip takes around three hours, and then you’ll head to the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa with plenty of time for relaxation and rejuvenation.
The Blue Lagoon is one of the country’s top attractions. Your visit to the spa is part of this tour, although you’ll need to purchase your ticket separately. Then, all that’s left to do is soak in the warm mineral-rich waters and perhaps indulge in a luxurious spa treatment.
If you book the afternoon tour during winter, you may be lucky enough to see the elusive and beautiful northern lights, a magical end to your day. At the end of the tour, your driver will drop you back at your accommodation in Reykjavik or take you to the airport.
