Reykjanes Experience
Reykjanes Tour, a quick way to get familiar with volcanos, lava fields and hot springs!
The Reykjanes tour should definitely be on your list of things to do if you’re traveling to Iceland. In just one day, this tour will take you on an enigmatic journey through a volcanic wonderland where you’ll see how new earth if formed, witness the relentless force of the Atlantic Ocean and relax in the world famous Blue Lagoon.
Lake Kleifarvatn, a stunning lake surrounded by volcanic craters and black sand beaches, is the first stop on the tour. One of the biggest lakes on the Reykjanes Peninsula, it is renowned for its remarkable color changes and hot springs that extend far beneath the surface. You can enjoy a quiet stroll along the lake while admiring the lovely natural surroundings.
The Seltún geothermal area is the next stop on the tour; here, you’ll discover a series of steam vents and boiling mud pots that together form an unearthly environment.

Additionally, you can stroll along the boardwalks while learning about the geology and history of this amazing location. The Brimketill, a naturally occurring seawater pool created by the erosion of the lava rocks, is the following destination on the journey. This location provides a breathtaking view of the ocean and is ideal for taking pictures.
