Our Volcano hike and Geothermal tour is a great introduction to the impact\u00a0volcanic activity has had on the landscape of iceland. This tour explores the Reykjanes Peninsula<\/strong> which is located a short drive from the capital Reykjav\u00edk. The peninsula is situated on the fissure line of the mid-Atlantic ridge which is the cause of all the eruptions, earthquakes and other seismic activity in the region.\u00a0This tour offers a chance to experience geothermal wonders, natural phenomena, and places of stunning beauty.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the tour is hiking in the area of the recent eruptions in 2021 and 2022<\/strong> near Fagradalsfjall Volcano<\/strong>.This is a rare opportunity indeed as there have been few accessible and safe to visit volcanoes in Iceland in living memory.<\/p>\n

Along with this magnificent volcano\u00a0site, our experienced and knowledgeable guides will take you to some of the other highlights that Reykjanes Peninsula has to offer. These include the boiling waters and sulphuric steamy air at the\u00a0Selt\u00fan<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Gunnuhver<\/strong>\u00a0hot-springs, a walk between the American and Euroasian continental plates at the\u00a0Bridge between Continents<\/strong>, a wonderful photo opportunity at\u00a0Reykjanesviti lighthouse<\/strong>\u00a0and the black sand beaches of\u00a0Kleifarvatn<\/strong>\u00a0Lake.
The compact nature of the peninsula means that you fit a lot into this 10-hour day tour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
