Moderate hike to and from Fagradalsfjall volcano

Explore lava moss-covered terrain and volcanic eruption site

Experience thousands of earthquakes and tectonic activity

Visit Reykjanes Peninsula’s geothermal wonders and natural beauty

Embark on an Epic Volcanic Adventure Across the Rugged Landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula


Join an ultimate geothermal adventure that takes you deep into the heart of Iceland's volcanic activity. Starting with a pickup in Reykjavik, you will travel to the Reykjanes Peninsula, a region defined by its stunning beauty and raw geological power. The journey includes a moderate hike through moss-covered lava fields to reach the site of the Fagradalsfjall volcano, where recent eruptions have reshaped the landscape and provided a rare glimpse into the earth's inner workings.


The peninsula is a treasure trove of natural phenomena, offering sights that feel truly out of this world. You will explore the area around the Fagradalsfjall eruption site, where thousands of earthquakes have left their mark on the terrain. The tour also visits the dramatic lake Kleifarvatn, known for its stunning beaches and surrounding volcanic hills, and the Gunnuhver hot springs in the Krýsuvík geothermal area, where steam vents and boiling mud pools create an otherworldly atmosphere.


A significant highlight of the tour is the Bridge between two Continents, where you can walk across a fissure that separates the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This unique feature provides a tangible connection to the forces that move continents apart. Along the way, you will also see the Reykjanesviti lighthouse and various coastal features, including the lava-surrounded fish-hangars, which offer a glimpse into the traditional way of life in this harsh but beautiful environment.


Please note that this tour requires a moderate level of fitness, as the hike to and from the volcano can take up to two hours each way. The experience is designed for those who are ready to immerse themselves in nature and witness the geological processes that make Iceland so unique. With its combination of volcanic sites, geothermal activity, and coastal scenery, this tour offers an unforgettable adventure for anyone looking to explore the wild side of the island.

Amazing stop, even if you don’t have time for the trails, the short walk to the lava field is breathtaking. We visited here May 15 around noon and found not many people. The weather was quite cloudy, & as usual you pay approx $10 CAD for parking. Informative map showing what volcano each lava field is from. Due to the weather we stopped at the very first one; found it amazing it was from 2021 and was still smoking in parts. Highly advised not to walk on because of this. If you have time and the weather is good the ridge trail is a steep climb up, and long, but I can only imagine the views would be other worldly. The trail seemed well maintained but if it’s windy, be careful! You can hear the intensity of it in the last video I post.

We received an alert about increased volcanic activity in Grindavík, warning of a possible eruption. Naturally, curiosity got the best of us, and we decided to check it out. The weather, however, had other plans strong winds, snow showers, and icy paths made the hike challenging. Despite the conditions, it was an incredible experience. The landscape was eerie yet breathtaking, and the sense of being near an active volcano added to the thrill. If you’re planning to visit, be prepared for slippery terrain. A hiking stick is highly recommended to keep your balance, especially in winter conditions. Stay alert, check safety updates, and enjoy the adventure!

Walk it at night! So amazing! It's harder at night as the paths are hard to see but as it was the last night we just had too! And amazingly we managed to see the northern lights up there!
