About this experience

Discover Iceland's geothermal heart in the Reykjanes UNESCO Global Geopark on a thrilling and carbon-neutral journey. Travel through the awe-inspiring volcanic landscapes and explore the freshly-formed lava fields of recent volcanic eruptions. Complete your day with a relaxing and rejuvenating spa experience at Reykjavík’s newest luxury bath, the Sky Lagoon.

 This journey takes you through steaming geothermal fields, freshly-formed lava, and relaxing geothermal spas, offering a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation in Iceland’s raw, untamed beauty. This carbon-neutral adventure begins with a pickup in Reykjavík. From there, you’ll travel through the dramatic scenery of the Reykjanes Geopark, a true geological wonderland.

Seltún Geothermal Area

The first stop is Seltún, a colorful geothermal hotspot that feels like stepping onto another planet. Walk among steaming vents, bubbling mud pools, and vibrant mineral-rich soil as you experience the Earth’s geothermal power up close.

Fagradalsfjall Volcano Hike

Next, head to Fagradalsfjall, one of Iceland’s youngest and most awe-inspiring volcanoes. Take a 5.5-kilometer (3.4-mile) round-trip hike to a viewpoint overlooking the lava fields created by its recent eruptions. With an elevation gain of 300 meters (985 feet), the hike is moderately challenging but incredibly rewarding. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about the area’s volcanic history. You’ll have time to explore, snap photos, and even touch rocks formed just a few years ago.

Grindavík Fishing Village

After the hike, visit Grindavík, a charming fishing town that has adapted to Iceland’s powerful natural forces. Stroll through this resilient community, learn about the protective measures in place to guard against volcanic activity, and enjoy a delicious lunch of fresh fish and chips at a beloved local spot (food is not included in the price and must be ordered separately).

Sky Lagoon Retreat

End your day with ultimate relaxation at the Sky Lagoon, located in Reykjavík. Soak in warm geothermal waters with breathtaking views of the North Atlantic Ocean. Complete your experience with the rejuvenating 7-step "Skjól" ritual, inspired by Icelandic bathing traditions, for the perfect conclusion to your adventure.
