Lake Kleifarvatn, a stunning lake surrounded by volcanic craters and black sand beaches, is the first stop on the tour.

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.

After that, we’ll proceed to the 2021 Geldingadalur eruption area so you may see brand new lava fields where you may, on a good day, still see steam and gasses rise up from the ground. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness the aftermath of one of nature’s most amazing spectacles. You can stroll along the pathways and get a close-up view. The journey will also take you to the tectonic plate bridge, where you may stroll between the gently drifting tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia. This geological location is distinctive and fascinating, and it provides a wonderful photo opportunity.
The tour will finish with a stop in the famed Blue Lagoon, where you may unwind and luxuriate in the warm, mineral-rich waters. After spending the entire day discovering the Reykjanes Peninsula’s amazing natural treasures, this is the ideal way to unwind.
