Witness The Erupting Fagradalsfjall Volcano And The Magical Northern Lights From Reykjavik


Journey from Reykjavik into the heart of the Geldingadalur Valley to witness the awe-inspiring Fagradalsfjall Volcano. This tour is specifically timed to capture the most dramatic lighting conditions, offering both afternoon and evening departures to maximize your chances of seeing the landscape in its most magical state. Expert guides accompany you throughout the trek, ensuring that you navigate the terrain safely while positioning the group for the best possible views of the active volcanic site.


The hiking route covers approximately eight kilometers with an elevation gain of 300 meters, though specific paths are chosen based on current conditions and safety assessments. This physical challenge rewards participants with an intimate look at the earth's crust in motion. As you traverse the volcanic landscape, your guide will share insights into the geological significance of the area, helping you understand the complex forces that have created this extraordinary and ever-changing environment.


Beyond the volcanic spectacle, this tour is designed to provide a comprehensive outdoor experience in the Icelandic wilderness. The combination of a challenging hike and the potential to view the Northern Lights creates a truly unique itinerary. As night falls, the lack of light pollution in the valley provides an ideal backdrop for stargazing and, weather permitting, witnessing the ethereal dance of the aurora borealis above the glowing volcanic terrain.


Safety and enjoyment are the primary focus of this excursion, with professional guides managing every aspect of the journey. Whether you are an experienced hiker or a curious traveler, the tour offers a structured way to explore one of the world's most active geological sites. By the end of the day, you will have gained a deeper appreciation for Iceland's untamed beauty and the powerful natural phenomena that continue to captivate visitors from around the globe.

Just finished a 5 day tour, The Best of Iceland tour, and hands down this has been the best trip I have ever taken! I travel a lot but everything about the trip was 10/10. We were blessed to have the best tour guide anyone could ever ask for. Seigi is a retired professor so everything he explained was in his teaching form captivating everyone’s attention the entire time! They give us plenty of time at each destination. Hotels were nice, the last hotel where we spent 3 nights, Adventure hotel, was 10/10! Highly recommend this tour company and if you’re lucky, you’ll get Seigi!

Beautiful! Before starting the trip, customer service via email are really friendly for our enquiry. Our tour guide Siggi is very professional. Time management is good and we have a lot of time for photography and sightseeing. Also, he explains a lot about Iceland when driving or dining. We can know more about Iceland history and languages from him. He suggests great food and restaurant to us! We are happy within these 6 days and saw a lot of beautiful places in our first Iceland trip. I hate eating lamb before coming iceland. After trying lamb soup and lamb steak by this trip, I am fall in love with all lamb food in Iceland. I eat lamb everyday in my trip. I will come again and eat lamb in Iceland next time. Thanks all.

My friend and I booked a 6+1 days tour with Arctic Adventures from 17th Oct to 23rd Oct. It was an amazing tour experience with the guide Hulmer. Hulmer is knowledgeable, communicative, humorous and friendly, he’s familiar with the places’ histories and information, he also shared many stories about his personal experience and Icelandic’s life, in fact for someone like me from Malaysia, it’s quite insightful and interesting to listen. He would tell us the nicest spots to check out Northerrn lights. He’s also a good driver and safety is always his priority. I was truly enjoying every moments of the trips. Everywhere was beautiful and clean, I couldn’t keep my eyes off from watching the scenery even in the cars. All the accommodations that Arctic Adventures arranged also a plus point, all got beautiful views from the windows and unique lodges that I would not forget. Highlights of the tour, a touching moment when seeing whale and seals up close, saw aurora on the second night of the tour, first time seeing crater with lava and flying snows, spotted a reindeer from a far and good experience exploring glacier and hot bath in Mývatn Nature Baths. The 1 day tour guide, Nils made the trip more fun by having some games during the tour. We also joined the snorkeling tour in Silfra, the tour was well organized, Marketa was our instructor/ guide, she was patient, helped us to wear the dry suit and mask. She’s always around us by making sure we’re safe and took photos for us especially me, I was clumsy in the water. But she helped me to swim further and seeing more in the water. While returning to the shore, she came to check on me whether I was okay then off she went to help the rest, but I didn’t know the water current was so strong for me, I was lucky that another instructor was helping to go back to the shore, they focused on safety first. What an experience on the snowy day! Hope you all will also enjoy the tour with Arctic aadventures.
