Askja and Viti Crater Tours

Our guide, Trausti, was exceptional. He gave us plenty of time at each stop, provided lots of interesting information to keep the drive engaging, and he had a great sense of humour. We took the tour to the Askja Caldera, stopped at some breathtaking sites along the way, and dipped our toes into the Víti or "Hot Hell" thermal pool in the caldera. Overall, a thrilling day and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Iceland's Myvatn region.

WOW. A must-take tour to get a sense of the REAL Iceland and the devastation wrought by huge volcanoes. On this tour you experience kilometers upon kilometers of lava fields, and while the terrain varies, some of it really does look like images of the moon. The walk to the caldera lake is flat but fairly long (an hour each direction) but the light-blue water is eerie. Our guide was great, and I'm amazed at how expertly he navigated the roads, which were river, volcanic sand, paths cut through lava fields, and rocks themselves. Lots of dust and wind. This isn't a "pretty" Iceland experience -- take the Thorsmörk tour for moss-covered mountains, forests, streams -- but essential in every meaning of the word.

The guide was awesome and the landscapes were beautiful ! Thanks si much for this experience

It was a great experience. The hike up to the crater of the vulcano was easy to do and the views were fantastic. The colors changed when the sun came up and it all felt very serene. Our guide Alejandro had a lot of knowledge about Iceland's nature and strange landscape. Highly recommend this tour!
