★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 915 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) Top rated

Glacier hike on Sólheimajökull plus South Coast waterfalls and black-sand beach from Reykjavik, small group, Wi-Fi onboard, all gear included.

“I can’t recommend this trip enough but it’s not for the faint-hearted!! You definitely need an element of fitness and the right walking gear - not trainers/sneakers - invest in decent walking boots and warm clothing. The trip is very well organised. Our guide, Kristopher, was amazing and had the patience of a saint with our particular group. Our walk on the glacier was almost cancelled due to strong winds but Kristopher took us to the waterfalls and black sand beach before lunch so he could assess the weather conditions in the afternoon to ensure it was safe for us to trek the glacier. Luckily the wind was less on…”

Iceland Hiking Tour to Fagradalsfjall Volcano with Local Guide

/ August 4, 2026

10.Iceland Hiking Tour to Fagradalsfjall Volcano with Local Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 573 reviews · 4 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $189

Guided hike to Fagradalsfjall volcano from Reykjavík, with geothermal stops, poles, and safety-first access to fresh lava.

“We embarked on a privately guided journey to the Reykjanes Peninsula, where we climbed the Fagradalsfjall volcano (eruption 2021). With the guidance of our knowledgeable tour guide, we carefully traversed the vast expanse of black lava fields, mindful of the potential dangers beneath our feet. The seemingly solid surface of the lava fields can easily crack and split, revealing treacherously deep crevices. We took a break to enjoy the experience, indulging in steaming cups of hot chocolate and homemade Icelandic desserts. Our efforts were rewarded with a view of the newest additional volcanic landscape near Grindavik.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 490 reviews · 12 hours · from $200

Reykjavik day trip to Iceland’s South Coast waterfalls, black sand beaches, and a guided Sólheimajökull glacier hike with full gear.

“What an amazing day! The falls were beautiful, the black sand beach was unique, but the glacier hike- unforgettable and stunningly beautiful! We are more “mature” in age than most of our fellow hikers, but had no issues in keeping up so don’t let that stop you from this once in a lifetime experience. Big thanks to Stephan, our host, he was fantastic! I cannot remember the names of the two young men at the hike, but they were outstanding as well.”

We have great guides.”
