Afternoon Volcano Hiking Tour

This tour includes a challenging hike to and from the Fagradalsfjall volcano, requiring good physical fitness and preparation. The hike is considered hard and typically takes around two to three hours each way. It is important to wear sturdy hiking shoes for traction and support, as well as a waterproof jacket and warm clothing to protect against Iceland’s often unpredictable weather. Bringing enough water and snacks or dinner is essential to stay energized throughout the journey. Additionally, a regular face mask is recommended to protect against volcanic ash and dust that may be present in the air near the active volcano site.

The tour departs in the afternoon or evening from Reykjavík, heading straight to the Fagradalsfjall volcano area located in the Geldingalur valley. Here, you will witness the awe-inspiring geological activity of Iceland’s most recent volcanic eruption and see the land forming in real time. It is important to be prepared for variable conditions and to follow safety guidelines closely. This unique experience offers a rare opportunity to connect with Iceland’s raw natural forces, making it both a thrilling and memorable adventure.
