- Reykjavik - Begin the day with a convenient and efficient pickup from designated spots throughout the capital city, Reykjavík.
- Raufarholshellir - Explore Raufarhólshellir, one of Iceland’s longest lava tubes (1,360 m), offering an easy walk through stunning volcanic formations and vibrantly colored mineral walls. Knowledgeable guides ensure a safe journey through the cave, sharing its history and highlights during this approximately 1-hour tour. Afterward, return to Reykjavík for some leisure time before the second part of the tour begins.
- Kleifarvatn Lake - The first stop of the second part is Kleifarvatn, the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula, located about 30 minutes from Reykjavík. As one of Iceland’s deepest lakes (97 m), it is sustained entirely by groundwater filtering through porous lava rock, with no rivers feeding it. Surrounded by colorful hills and dramatic lava formations, the lake is steeped in local legends of a mysterious worm-like creature—stories your guide will share as you enjoy the scenery.
- Seltún Geothermal Area - Next, visit the Seltún geothermal area in Krýsuvík, renowned for its Mars-like landscape of steaming hot springs and vividly colored hills. Mineral deposits paint the terrain in reds, yellows, and greys, while the scent of sulfur indicates intense geothermal activity. Wooden walkways guide you past bubbling mud pools, hissing steam vents, and active fumaroles.
- Gígvatnsvatn (green lake/graenesvatn) - After a short drive, explore Grænavatn—“the Green Lake”—a volcanic crater lake known for its vivid green color due to high sulfur content. This tranquil spot is perfect for photography and a striking example of Iceland’s unique geology.
- Nátthagi Valley - Visit Nátthagi near Fagradalsfjall, the site of Iceland’s 2021 volcanic eruption—the longest of the 21st century after 6,000 years of dormancy. Discover vast lava fields shaped by solidified flows, with a short hike to the Nátthagi viewpoint for a closer look at the frozen lava river. Note: The hike to the lava field takes about 20 minutes one way over uneven, rugged terrain.
- Grindavik - Arrive in Grindavík, a town influenced by recent volcanic activity. Once evacuated due to eruptions, it has now reopened, though many houses remain abandoned and roads show earthquake damage. Explore this unique, quiet town and witness the raw power of Icelandic nature up close. A stop at a local restaurant for 15 to 20 minutes allows for refreshments.
- Sundhnukusgigar lava fields - Travel through the Sundhnúkagígar lava field near Grindavík, formed by Iceland’s recent eruptions, with steam still rising from the fresh volcanic terrain. After exploring, return to Reykjavík through scenic countryside, arriving in the early evening with time to relax or enjoy the city.
- Reykjavik - After the tour, you will be dropped off at your original pickup location.
