Join us for a tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula, an area marked by powerful geological activity. You’ll see Iceland’s youngest lava fields and visit the town of Grindavík, where devastating earthquakes split roads, lava flows damaged houses, and residents were forced to evacuate.During the tour, you’ll explore a geothermal area with numerous hot springs, admire the scenic lake Kleifarvatn, see Iceland’s oldest lighthouse, cross the bridge between continents, and ancient lava fields covered in soft, vibrant moss, all over.!!! The Reykjanes Peninsula, especially around Grindavík, is currently in an active state. Although lava isn’t flowing at the moment, it’s likely to resume. Should volcanic activity cause area closures, we may need to adjust our itinerary but will stop at the next possible viewpoint to see the eruption, if accessible.ItineraryThe Lake KleifarvatnKleifarvatn is the largest lake on the Reykjanes peninsula and a sight to behold. The road along the lake is probably one of the most under rated tourist roads int the country which hugs the lake’s shore. The tall mountains on the other side, make the drive alongside the lake nearly as fun as stopping to admire it from various vantage points. Fun Fact: In the year 2000, Kleifarvatn lost 20% of its water, when a fissure opened after an earthquake. The water drained into the nearby North Atlantic ocean through a subterranean channel. It has since recovered almost entirely.The Geothermal area SeltúnOn the fissure zone between 2 tectonic plates running across Iceland lies the large geothermal area of Krýsuvík. Within this area is Seltún, a geothermal field, where volcanic fumeroles, mud pots and hot springs have formed. The result of the geothermal activity is a landscape seemingly painted bright yellow, red and green; a result of sulfur interacting with the other minerals in the soil.The Lava Field in NátthagiHere you will see the most recent lava fields created by the volcano at Fagradalsfjall. This is the youngest land in Iceland and can sometimes be alive with molten rock and lava.Grindavík the Fishing VillageGrindavík, a small fishing town on the Reykjanes Peninsula, has faced significant natural disasters in recent months due to ongoing volcanic activity. Since late 2023, a series of powerful earthquakes and eruptions have forced evacuations, damaged infrastructure, and reshaped the landscape. The town remains largely abandoned, with roads split, homes destroyed, and the ground continuing to shift. Despite the devastation, scientists closely monitor the region, and emergency responders work tirelessly to manage the situation. This unfolding event highlights Iceland’s ever-changing nature and the raw power of the forces beneath our feet.The largest mud pool in Iceland, GunnuhverNot far from Grindavik, Gunnuhver is an area of mud pools and steam vents on the very tip of the Reykjanes peninsula. The gases spewing from the ground make the surrounding lava rock into bubbling clay and the water to acid. Gunnuhver is the largest mud pot in Iceland. The area was named after a local ghost, Gunna, who was said to be causing trouble in the area until the local priest trapped her and she fell into the hot spring some 400 years ago. Scary!ReykjanesvitiThe LighthouseOn Reykjanes there are many lighthouses. Some even say that the lighthouses outnumber the villages. The most famous of them all, as well as being the oldest one in Iceland, is Reykjanes lighthouse, which stands 29 meters (95ft) tall 69 meters (226 ft) above sea level.The Bridge between continentsBridge between Europe and North America on Reykjanes Peninsula. The lava-scarred Reykjanes peninsula lies on one of the world’s major plate boundaries, the Mid Atlantic Ridge. According to the continental drift theory the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are continuously drifting apart with great forces under the gaping rifts. As the plates diverge, linear fractures, known as fissures form due to stresses created by the tension that builds up as the plates move away from each other. The Bridge between two continents at Sandvík is a small footbridge over a major fissure which provides clear evidence of the presence of a diverging plate margin. The bridge was built as a symbol for the connection between Europe and North America.

Our professional guides know how to read the weather and can find the best hidden areas to see the lights.Because we use a Super Jeep, we can go places the other big bus tours cannot, and the journey in one of our jeeps can be an experience in itself.The tour is of course completely dependent on weather both on earth and on the sun, and sightings are not guaranteed.
This tour takes a route from Reykjavík towards the south coast of Iceland. As we travel the southern coast the scenery will change at almost every turn. You’ll see waterfalls, black sand beaches, and fantastic mountain scenery. As we wind our way along the coast you’ll catch a glimpse of Hekla, Iceland’s most active volcano, Eyjafjallajokull volcano (the one that canceled all the flights), the Westman Islands, and beauty you won’t believe. Just after we have visited the coastal town of Vík, we need to turn off the main road and go where there are no roads. This is why we are traveling in a modified super jeep, which is capable of driving through almost anything. This journey from the main road to the glacier is not only thrilling but also incredibly beautiful. In wintertime, the journey can be quite demanding on the super jeep.Eventually, we’ll arrive at the base of the Katla glacier, where it’s time to gear up with crampons and helmets which we provide. Then we make our way to the base of the glacier where we’ll find the Ice caves. We spend as much time as is possible on the glacier giving you the chance to really take in this once in a lifetime opportunity.Our guides know these areas very well and have been working in the area for many years.All of our guides have experience and are trained in glacial exploration and are first aid certified.Itinerary:One of Icelands classic waterfalls, SeljalandsfossCertainly not one of Icelands biggest waterfalls but what makes Seljalandsfoss different is that most of the year you can actually walk behind the cascading water. This really makes for a unique experience.Katla GlacierThe Katla glacier is a tongue, a flow of ice that comes from Mýrdals glacier, Icelands forth largest glacier. At the base of the Katla glacier are many caves, created by water which pours down the glacier in the warmer months of the year. The area is fascinating, raw nature at its best, proper movie making landscapes. Crystal blue ice caves, rugged Icelandic nature and towering mountains of ice. Prepare to be amazed!The Village VíkVík is the southernmost village on the south coast of Iceland, located on the ring road. Famous for its beautiful landscapes, black sand beaches and strange rock formations, Vík is a great place to visit.The Black Sand BeachReynisfjara black sand beach and is the most visited beach on the South Coast of Iceland. You’ll see a beautiful black sand beach and at times incredibly powerful waves from the Atlantic ocean. There are also some pretty awesome rock formations here called “Reynisdrangar” that rise from the ocean close to the shore.Waterfall SkógafossSkógafoss is one of Iceland’s classic waterfalls and truly magnificent. 65 meters tall and 25 meters wide making it also one of the biggest waterfalls in the country. Legend has it that there is a chest of gold hidden behind the waterfall. You’ll have to be as strong as a viking to get to it though.
The Valley of Thor, or Þórsmörk (Thorsmork) in Icelandic, is a nature reserve in the southern highlands, located between three glaciers; Eyjafjallajökull (the famous glacier volcano that erupted in 2010 and caused widespread disruption to air traffic in Europe), Mýrdalsjökull and Tindfjallajökull. Þórsmörk is a place of diverse and magnificent landscape with its ice capped peaks, jagged mountain ridges and valleys rich with moss and birch woodland.

Riding in a Super jeep is an adventure on its own.ItineraryWaterfall SeljalandsfossSeljalandsfoss is one of the most visited waterfalls in Iceland. This 66m (213ft) high waterfall is not the most powerful waterfall in Iceland but extremely beautiful. What makes it special, though, is the fact that you can walk behind it. Just remember to bring rain gear with you because it is not unlikely that spray from the waterfall will catch you.Gígjökull GlacierBy now you have entered the beautiful Surroundings of Þórsmörk. Gígjökull is an outlet that flows from Eyjafjallajökull. Previously, there was a glacial lagoon underneath the glacier, which was one of the gems of Þórsmörk, but it got destroyed in the famous 2010 Eyjafjalla volcanic eruption. therefore today it is possible to drive on the former bottom of the lagoon almost up to the glacier.ValahnúkurHere we hike! Hiking up Valahnúkur is relatively easy 220m (722ft) ascent hike and takes about an hour and a half. When you are up there you are standing in an elevation of around 1000m (3300ft) with a spectacular view over valleys and gorges covered with moss and birch forest, glacial rivers and the glaciers Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull.Básar - The hikers wonderlandBásar is one of the most beautiful and sheltered areas in the Þórsmörk – an oasis of natural birch woods.

The Snæfellsness peninsula offers great beauty and mystery and is often described as “Iceland in Miniature” due to the diverse natural attractions that the area has to offer, such as beautiful mountain views, black sand beaches, rock belts down to the shore, lava fields, beautiful villages and of course the mysterious Snæfellsjökull glacier.ItinerarySelvallafoss the Sheep's WaterfallSelvallafoss is a small but beautiful waterfall that is often called “The Hidden Waterfall” or “The Sheep’s Waterfall”. For two obvious reasons. One reasons is because the waterfall is not visible from the road but it falls over a multi-step rock in the streams of Fossá on its way to merge with Selvallavatn. Another reason is that often there is a flock of sheep resting underneath the cliffs by the waterfall sheltered from the wind. P.s. with good will you can walk under the waterfall.The beautiful village StykkishólmurStykkishólmur is located on the north side of Snæfellsnes and surrounded by a wonderful view of the countless islands of Breiðafjörður bay. The town origins can be traced to a natural harbor and an important trading post was formed there early in the history of Iceland. Today many old houses have been renovated and are a great splendor of the town and makes a wonderful atmosphere. Stykkishólmur is today a service and trade center for the area and most of the people make their living from fishing and tourism. In Stykkishólmur we are given time to have lunch.Kirkjufell the arrowhead mountainKirkjufell, standing tall above the Grundafjörður village, is without a doubt the most photographed mountain in Iceland. And no wonder why. The narrow top mountain with its steep and rocky hills, shaped by volcano eruptions and glaciers over millions of years,is unique and makes a perfect photo opportunity. Many recognise the mountain as The Arrow Head Mountain from Games of Thrones.Saxhóll craterSaxhóll is a 45 meter high beautifully shaped volcanic crater. It rises up from the moss-covered lavafields in Snæfellsjökull National Park. At the top you have a view over the tip of the Peninsula with the Atlantic ocean to souoth, west and north and the magnificent Snæfellsjökull glacier to the east.Djúpalónssandur a Black sand beachDjúpalónssandur is an old fishing boat landing. It is an amazing black sandy beach and bay on foot of Snæfellsjökull .There are beautiful volcanic formations on the way down to the beach and further down, just before the sandy beach, there are 4 big rocks where “would be fishermen” would test their strength in the hope of getting employment on a fishing boat.They are; Fullsterkur, Full strength 154 kg, Hálfsterkur, Half strength 100 kg, Hálfdrættingur, Weak 54 kg and Amlóði, Bungler 23 kg. Half Strength marked the frontier of wimpy and those who couldn’t lift it was deemed unsuitable for life at sea. These days of course the prerequisites of employmentas a fisherman are a little different, but you are very welcome to try your hand at the rocks! At the beach, you will also see rusted metal from the English trawler Eding, which was wrecked at the Djúpalón beach in 1948.Arnarstapi an old trading postArnarstapi was an important trading post in the past and today there still is a good anchorage for small boats. Columnar basalt, ravines and grottoes surround the Arnarstapi pier and we offer a walk along the coastline to experience the magnificent lava formations and to watch the birds. There is quite a large arctic tern colony in the village itself.Ytri-Tunga - where wild seals are often seenBefore we return to Reykjavík we stop at Ytri-Tunga beach, which is one of the best places in Iceland to see wild seals. There are a number of different species of seal in Iceland, and two of them can be seen at Ytri Tunga, The Common Seal and The Grey Seal.
