“a very interesting trip, especially the places with exhalations from the interior of the earth”
Reykjavik day trip to Reykjanes Geopark, with Seltún geothermal pools, an active volcano hike at Fagradalsfjall, and Grindavík.
“We saw a lot of spectacular scenery and the awesome power of nature in Grindavik. The stops were great, but the day was made by our tour guide Eric. He really knows his stuff - the history and geology of the place - however much more than that he is an engaging storyteller. He talked about what we were seeing, of course, but also drew out the human impact on the people of Grindavik. He brought to life the impact on the community, and the resilience of the Icelandic people. Highly recommended - especially if you can request that Eric is the tour guide!”
Lava-field hike and Grindavík fishing town from Reykjavik with Wi-Fi, geology guides, and sea views, about 6.5 hours.
“Awesome experience being able to walk right up to the recent lava flows. It makes the whole thing a reality, not just something you watch on tv. Fascinating drive thru Grindavik as well, and the lunch stop at the one open restaurant was nice. Fish and chips were awesome! And the chocolates next door yummy, it’s amazing to see first hand how the country dealt with the lava flows and eruptions. Just. Fascinating trip.”
Reykjavik’s Reykjanes Peninsula volcano day trip with a moderate lava hike, geothermal stops, onboard Wi-Fi, and hotel pickup for $126.
“The tour was completely different to as advertised- two stops were completely missed off and the tour lasted one hour less than stated. The volcano hike was listed as being 4 hours but in total the volcano stop was 1.5 hours. Don’t book through a third party provider. Book directly to know what you’re getting!”

Reykjavík Reykjanes volcano tour with expert guides, hot springs, Grindavík, lava fields, and geothermal views. Hotel pickup, WiFi.
“The tour guide Vala was amazing, by far the best tour guide of all of the excursions. She was very fluent in English and throughout the whole day was providing us with detailed and interesting information , we felt very comfortable to ask lots of questions and learnt lots of new things. The tour was good seeing all of parts of the tour. We stopped at a restaurant to have lunch but we had already brought a packed lunch, I think it would be good to update the description to include this as if we’d have known in advance we would have done that instead. The sky lagoon was amazing…”

“We had a lovely trip with Max. He explained everything well and we felt secure the whole time. Thanks for these memories,”
Private Reykjavik helicopter flight over Reykjanes Peninsula geothermal vents and emerald lakes, with pilot commentary and flexible timing.
“Everything about this tour was wonderful. We went out in the morning, but the weather was bad so the company organised to take us out again in the afternoon. The staff were fantastic, especially the pilots, and the tour took us over the incredible landscape, with a view of volcanos and geothermal areas that you just cant get from the ground. Landing balanced on the crater's edge of a volcano was incredible!”
Half-day Reykjanes Peninsula minibus tour from Reykjavik to Seltún, Kleifarvatn, Grindavík, and new Svartsengi lava fields, with a hike.
“Just a magical journey with our guide (Svirtir or something like that, sorry, I forgot your name...). He was kind, he explained everything all the time and had a great sense of humour! Don't miss this journey cause it's worth it! All the lava fields, the volcano and Seltun area, everything was amazing! Thank you so much!”
Hike Reykjanes Geopark’s newest lava field, stand on the rift between continents, then unwind at Sky Lagoon with the included 7-Step Spa Ritual.
“The lagoon was amazing. But the activity as a whole was very poorly planned. Lot's of time-outs during the morning and the lunch was at the guide friend's place it looked to me, near the port at Grindavik. We stopped at the Blue Lagoon to drop off some people (had nothing to do with out activity) but we didn't even get down from the bus. We just went there to drop them off, loosing valuable time. Also, you start at the bus terminal just to have to get back there again to pick a different bus to go to the lagoon... These is not what you expect when you hire…”

“Reykjanes and blue lagoon trip was a wonderful experience. To begin with our tour driver cum guide was excellent. Very friendly, patient and informative. We saw the geo thermal springs, drove through lava fields and then the Blue lagoon on our return. The blue lagoon is a must visit for every tourist to Reykjavik. You can only know ho9w good it is once youve experience it!”
A 5.5-hour minibus tour from Reykjavík to Reykjanes lava fields, geothermal sites, and Grindavík, with guide stories and Wi-Fi.
“We went on a volcano tour with Frederick who kept us entertained with stories about past eruptions, local folklore and history. Unfortunately the volcano stopped erupting during our tour, but each site was spectacular. Bring water, sturdy shoes, and rain gear as Icelandic weather is unpredictable.”
Every kind of day the city sends out, and the best of each.
