Experience The Natural Geothermal Wonders Of The Reykjadalur Valley Hot River Hiking Adventure Tour


Embark on an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking Reykjadalur Valley, a premier destination located just forty minutes from Reykjavik.

Whether you are visiting during the vibrant summer months or the crisp winter season, this hike provides a rewarding experience that showcases the geological diversity that makes Iceland a truly world-class travel destination.


The trail itself is considered relatively easy for most active individuals, typically requiring forty to fifty minutes of steady walking to reach the primary destination.

It is a rare chance to relax in a completely natural setting, far removed from the artificial environments of commercial spas, making it a must-visit location for anyone seeking authentic relaxation in nature.


This private tour is designed to provide a personalized experience, allowing you to move at your own pace while learning about the fascinating volcanic activity that shapes the region.

Great hike to explore take in the views and nice dip in the thermal river at the end. Bright, sunny but windy and cold day. Get to see thermal vents and bubbling mud pots on the way up just from the car park. Hike is easy going if you like hiking and are used to it. Watch out for icy bits. If not used to hiking, it's probably quite hard, but there are flat bits to rest, have a snack etc. coffee shop at the car park and toilets.

Amazing experience with beautiful views! Prepare for a hike and not for a walk, the way towards the hot spring is quite steep from the beginning until the middle. I am a very active and fit person and it took me around 1 hour of fast hiking. So if you want to take it slow, prepare for around 1.5 hours :) No closed changing rooms, everyone is just changing behind a wooden wall.

We went into this hike thinking it was 35 minutes, based on someone else's review. It is NOT. It took us an hour and a half, and most of that is on an incline. You are basically climbing a mountain. The river is amazing and well worth it, but just know that it is a long hard climb to get to that reward. I would have been much happier on the hike had I known what I was getting into. There are Amazing views as you climb though.
