The Reykjanes peninsula is uniquely situated at the meeting point of two continents—the North American and Eurasian plates. This rare location makes it a true volcanic wonder, so it’s no surprise that the region was recognised as a UNESCO Global Geopark—a designation given to geological sites with exceptional international significance.

Our adventure starts with a pickup in Reykjavík, and we’ll travel through some truly unique landscapes. Along the way, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of rugged coastlines, volcanic craters, lakes and sweeping lava fields that showcase Iceland’s dramatic beauty.

Our first stop is Seltún, one of Iceland’s most iconic geothermal areas. Here, you can admire the boiling springs, mud pools and the colourful, steaming ground and feel nature’s raw power under your feet.

Next, we head to Fagradalsfjall Volcano, one of the youngest volcanoes in Iceland, surrounded by expansive, still-warm lava fields. Here, we’ll hike to a scenic viewpoint, crossing terrain that looks like something from another planet to get close to one of Iceland’s newest lava fields.

The hike takes about 45 minutes each way and offers a chance to witness the incredible aftermath of recent eruptions. The total hiking experience, including stops, around 2 hours, covering a distance of about 5.5 kilometres (approximately 3.4 miles).

The path is well-maintained and easy to follow, but you can expect some moderately steep inclines as there’s an elevation gain of around 300 meters over two kilometres, making it a moderately steep incline. Changing weather and snow conditions can make the hike more challenging, but it’s suitable for anyone in good physical condition. Be sure to wear warm, comfortable, wind- and waterproof clothing, along with sturdy boots and hiking spikes to stay prepared.

After our refreshing hike to Fagradalsfjall, we’ll journey to the coastal town of Grindavík, a resilient fishing village that has faced and overcome the powerful forces of nature. Here, you'll witness firsthand how the town has adapted in the aftermath of recent volcanic eruptions. One striking highlight is the rift cutting through part of the town—a vivid reminder of the tectonic shifts that shape Iceland. Our guide will explain the fascinating science behind these formations and show you how the locals have reinforced Grindavík, including the protective barrier built to shield it from lava flows.

Then, we’ll head to a beloved local gem for lunch—a fish and chips spot known for its fresh, locally-caught fish. This is the perfect place to relax and recharge while enjoying the flavors of Icelandic seafood, prepared in true Grindavík style.

With satisfied appetites and renewed energy, we'll board the bus for our return journey to Reykjavík, filled with unforgettable memories of Grindavík's resilience and Iceland’s natural wonders.

Having trekked the wilds of Iceland's volcanic majesty, it's time for serenity. Retreat to the idyllic haven of the Hvammsvík Hot Spring.

Sit back and enjoy the scenic journey as you leave the city behind once again. Arrive at the pristine Hvammsvík, known for its secluded natural hot springs. Slip into the warm waters and let your cares melt away. Spend quality time soaking in the hot springs, surrounded by the stunning Icelandic landscape. The geothermal waters are renowned for their therapeutic properties.

After a day of pure relaxation, we'll take you back to Reykjavík, ensuring you return feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
