Description:

Included in UNESCO Global Geopark, Reykjanes is truly a gem. But this crucible of geothermal energy, seismic activity, and tectonic movements is hidden in plain sight. It is a welcome sign to many tourists who come and visit Iceland by plane, and as such Reykjanes is often unjustly overlooked. Until now.

We will start our tour by visiting two beautiful lakes: Kleifarvatn and Grænavatn. Both of them being spectacular places for photographers to explore and everyone else to enjoy. Have we mentioned there are rumors of odd creatures hiding in their depths?

Prepare to be amazed when facing multicolored hills of Krýsuvík, before coming back north and continuing your way to Keflavík, where we take a lunch break (lunch not included in the price).

Then you will be able to find yourself between two continents for a moment by walking across the Bridge between continents. 

Finally, will go to discover Gunnuhver - geothermal area of mud pools with a ghost story embedded in its past. For those of you interested in urban development, you will get to see Iceland’s most popular lighthouse - Reykjanesviti.

This tour can be perfect for your last day as it combines a relatively unexplored part of Iceland with transfers to either the international airport or the Blue Lagoon. And if you would rather head back to Reykjavík, you are left with plenty of daytime to enjoy the capital after we drop you off back at your hotel/downtown Reykjavík.


Notice: Volcanic Activity in Reykjanes Peninsula

Please be aware that this route has changed due to volcanic activity in the region, resulting in longer driving times.
