Description
Included in UNESCO Global Geopark, Reykjanes is truly a gem. But this crucible of geothermal energy, seismic activity, and tectonic movements is hidden in plain sight. It is a welcome sign to many tourists who come and visit Iceland by plane, and as such Reykjanes is often unjustly overlooked. Until now.
We will start our tour by visiting two beautiful lakes: Kleifarvatn and Grænavatn. Both of them being spectacular places for photographers to explore and everyone else to enjoy. Have we mentioned there are rumors of odd creatures hiding in their depths?
Prepare to be amazed when facing multicolored hills of Krýsuvík, before coming back north and continuing our way to Keflavík, where we will take a lunch break (lunch not included in the price).
Within the next spot, find yourself for a moment between two lands by walking across the Bridge between continents. Isn’t it exciting it is to be in two places at once?
Last but not the least, join us in discovering Gunnuhver – geothermal area of mud pools with a ghost story embedded in its past. For those of you interested in urban development, you will get to see Iceland’s most popular lighthouse – Reykjanesviti.
Notice: Volcanic Activity in Reykjanes Peninsula
Due to recent volcanic activity in the Reykjanes Peninsula, we have made necessary alterations to our Reykjanes Tour to ensure the safety and enjoyment of our guests. As long as all our major highlights are still part of the itinerary, getting to them might result in longer driving times. In very special cases, some sections may be unavailable and will be replaced by alternative sights:
- North coastal loop
- Njarðvík with a peek at the Viking Ship
- Keflavík and the Giantess Cave
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Our team is committed to providing you with a memorable and safe experience. For more details, please contact our support team.
