Good trip - Wonderful trip, excellent hike to the volcano site. Very educational, good description of past events that has led to the geographical features seen.

Great tour - Hiking on the volcano is one of the highlights of our holiday in Iceland. Our guide Hler was excellent, and told us lots of great stories. The tour also took us to some of the lesser visited parts of Iceland.

Great time seeing the volcano - My wife and I had a great time visiting the volcano eruption site and the other sites we went to. It was amazing to see that the lava was still steaming after having erupted several years ago. We visited an ancient fishing village, an ancient fault line and the beautiful southern coastline. Our guide Tom who was born and raised in Iceland was a wealth of information, not only about the sites but Iceland overall. He explained the history of Iceland and the Icelandic culture as well. It was all very interesting. This tour was well worth going.

Highly Recommended - The tour is well organised. We made multiple stops in different areas (geothermal and volcanic areas, cliffs and bridge between continents). The guide (Elias) was extremely nice and professional and provided us with interesting information regarding volcanic phenomena. The hike was fun.

An unique experience - The tour was wonderful. Our tour guide Alain did a commendable job while keeping us entertained and giving us a lot of information. Definitely recommended.

Fun , informative and a great day out - 10/10 would hike lava again. Pick-up bang on 8:00am, returned safely (and happily tired) by 6:00pm—already off to a strong start. We were blessed with the legendary Marika as our guide. Someone please give this woman a medal, a raise, and possibly a sainthood, because shepherding 19–20 mildly overexcited adults around volcanic eruption sites is no small feat 😂 She kept us safe, informed, and entertained while we casually walked on solidified lava like it was no big deal (spoiler: it was VERY cool and slightly surreal). The hike itself is moderately challenging if you’re not a regular hiker—mostly even elevation—but totally manageable as long as you listen to Marika and don’t wander off like a few aspiring volcano explorers in the group 😆 The reward? Insane photo opportunities and views that look straight out of a sci-fi movie. After that, we kept rolling with more stops around Reykjanes and additional sites , hot springs , ending with at the bridge between the North American and Eurasion tectonic plates! Was a full day, zero boredom. Every stop was interesting, scenic, and packed with info from a guide who clearly loves her job and knows her stuff. Cost came to about £100 per person (for four of us, including local pick-up), booked via the Tourist Office—worth every penny. Highly recommended. Bring good shoes, a sense of humour, and maybe a leash for your wandering friends. 🌋😆

Beautiful views, geological formation, satisfying, interesting and enriching experience, highly recommended - We went on a couple of tours with Bustravel Iceland because roads in winter are challenging and slippery, and we got to see a lot on those tours within the limited time frame of daylight. I can only recommend Bustravel and our guide for this tour (he has a difficult Icelandic name that unfortunately I couldn't catch) for the smooth tour and enjoyable experience, the beautiful views, the enriching, satisfying and interesting commentary on various subjects about Iceland, its culture, society, geology and more. Even though we didn't get to go the glacier itself on this tour (we went to another glacier on the South Coast Tour, which is recommended as well), this volcanic tour was the highlight of our trip to Iceland for me. It was expertly conducted and we got to see a lot and make the most out of the short winter day. We walked on steaming lava, and Grindavik, the ghost town that was evacuated during the latest eruptions was fascinating. We also stopped at some scenic and beautiful places. Black rocky beaches with waves that crash on their beautiful geological formations and retreat like little waterfalls were like candy for our eyes and made for some gorgeous photos and much more.

Amazing tour - Marika was a brilliant guide, fun and informative, she took us on a really fun hike around the volcanoes. We learnt so much while enjoying the stunning scenery and a lovely sit down lunch.

The lava fields and coast line were spectacular! - Our guide was informative and very helpful at a few of the more challenging points of the tour. The bus, unfortunately, had mechanical problems which delayed our start (we waited to be picked up for over an hour), but we still had plenty of time to visit all of the locations listed in the itinerary. The replacement bus was full and uncomfortably cramped for the long rides required to reach all of the sites. The hike up to the top of the volcano was unfortunately a little more challenging than we anticipated, which was no fault of the guide, of course. Walking atop the cooled lava flow at the bottom later, where steam vented eerily from fissures, more than made up for that! While helping us across, the guide took one of our phones and shot numerous pictures of us together through the billowing mists. The Reykjanes drive by, which doesn't sound all that interesting from the itinerary, proved otherwise. The largely abandoned town of Grindavík, where a volcanic eruption in 2023 impinged on its development, was fascinating, if slightly uncomfortable because of scale of the destruction. The cooled lava flow between the homes and the cracked pavement and buildings were remarkable. We stopped there for lunch at a local cafe serving truly fresh seafood. a point omitted in the itinerary, for those concerned about stopping for something to eat during the long drive (and really should be added to the itinerary). The stop near the lighthouse atop a tall hill, which could be viewed from a distance but not actually visited, would benefit from a more detailed description. The coastline there, though stark, was incredibly beautiful! Yes, there were some awesome sea stacks, but just a short hike from the parking lot, waves breaking in the "troll baths" (some very large tide pools), sent water high into the air above the viewing platform. From the location, it was possible to photograph both the lighthouse and rising moon to the east, as well as the setting sun sitting just above the ocean far off to the west. Our greatest disappointment was the "Bridge between the Continents", which was anything but. Although the itinerary claims it spans the rift between the tectonic plates, the gap is actually just a small gorge and the plates do not meet there at all. It might appeal to those looking for a fun photo op, but won't be of much interest for those looking to explore a genuine geological feature. It was, nonetheless, a fun way to end the long day.

Must Do - Elias was a great guide, really personable and knowledgeable about the history of Iceland and volcano in particular. The views were sensational from the top of the hike in all directions and although a little challenging if you dont walk much, nothing too strenuous. All of the other stops were also fantastic. It can be challenging fitting in so much at this time of year with limited light, but Elias did more than enough to ensure we saw most things. If you want something a little different to the usual tours, then this is the one. Ps dont forget to bring crampons in winter, you'll need them 😬
