Small Group Volcano Hike with a Geologist

Experience the new volcanic eruption at Litla Hrut on the Reykjanes Peninsula with an expert guided adventure. The tour begins with pickup in Reykjavik at bus stop eight near Hallgrimskirkja, followed by a scenic drive through ancient lava fields that reveal how Iceland was formed. Upon arrival, the hike starts with an introduction to the volcanic history of the peninsula and the early signs of renewed activity. At the lava field, observe the creation of new land and learn how lava composition shapes different rock formations.

The hike continues toward a crater viewpoint offering breathtaking views of the lava field and surrounding landscape. Led by a professional geologist and volcanologist, gain detailed insight into eruption processes and geological forces. The hike lasts about two to three hours in total across rough terrain and changing weather conditions. Volcanic activity can shift quickly and glowing lava cannot be guaranteed. The tour may be canceled due to weather or gas pollution for safety reasons. This challenging adventure requires good fitness, hiking experience, and proper equipment.
