Fire and Water: Reykjanes Volcanic Wonders & Blue Lagoon Tour
Embark on a carbon-neutral journey through Iceland’s stunning volcanic landscapes. Enjoy a refreshing hike across a lava field, formed by recent eruptions, and then unwind with a soothing soak in the healing geothermal waters. This perfect combination of adventure and relaxation offers an unforgettable way to experience the raw power and serene beauty of Iceland’s natural wonders.
Your journey begins with a convenient pickup in Reykjavík, followed by a scenic drive through the UNESCO-recognized Reykjanes Geopark, a treasure trove of geological wonders. Our first stop is the Seltún Geothermal Area, where bubbling mud pools and steaming vents reveal the intense geothermal activity beneath the surface.
Next, we’ll visit Fagradalsfjall, home to one of Iceland’s most recent volcanic eruptions. A 45-minute hike takes you across mesmerizing lava fields, still warm from the eruption. From a breathtaking viewpoint, you’ll witness the ever-changing landscape shaped by fresh, rugged lava flows. This 5.5 km (3.4-mile) hike is moderately challenging and takes about 1.5-2 hours, making it ideal for those in good physical condition.
Then, we’ll explore Grindavík, a village that was forever transformed by nature’s power. Discover how the community fought back against lava flows by building protective barriers and explore the tectonic rifts that mark the region’s landscape.
To wrap up your adventure, indulge in the ultimate relaxation at the Blue Lagoon. After your hike and exploration, unwind in the rejuvenating mineral-rich waters of this world-renowned geothermal spa, surrounded by striking lava fields. Let the warm, milky-blue waters ease your muscles and refresh your spirit.
When you're ready, we’ll provide a return transfer to Reykjavík, completing your unforgettable day of volcanic adventure, resilient communities, and ultimate tranquility in Grindavík.
