Overview of your Reykjavik tour:

On this day tour we will visit the Reykjanes peninsula - shaped by volcanic activity - been dormant for 800 years but became active again in 2021 and again in 2022. Expect to see something very different from other areas in Iceland since the peninsula is famous for its lunar landscape - black lava more and less. We will visit some of the most interesting places in the Reykjanes peninsula and of course the new lava from the eruption in 2022 and still warm (april 2023) in many places. The black lava - not with a single shred of vegetation will give the colour black a new meaning. We can walk a short distance to the lava or further on to see more - even some of the craters that erupted here in 2021 and 2022. Decided on site when we see how the weather is and what we are up to. The Seltún / Krýsuvík geothermal area is another stop and the Brimketill lava pool and lets not talk about the fact that at the Bridge between the continents you will in 3 seconds go from America to Europe - no passport control.

Your Reykjavik tour itinerary

I will pick you up at your accommodation in Reykjavík and we have around 30 - 40 minutes drive to our first stop. Seltún geothermal area is so very different from the very black peninsula - full of colours and hot springs and yes - very much of sulfur smell as well but ever so beatiful - lets remember to pay attention to the details. After a short drive we are at the lava from the newest eruption here in Iceland - still smoky and hot in some places (april 2023) and only about 800 meters walk (0, 5 mile). Very dramatic and even beatiful in its rough shape. We can walk further - decided on spot After a drive through the fishing village of Grindavík to Brimketill lava pool - shaped by erosion from the sea We stop where the continental divide starts - in a way and on a bridge we will walk from Europe to America - and back And our last stop. . . let's barbeque a icelandic hot dog in a hot spring - you have never tried that before - and the volcanic craters at our "restaurant" are very beatiful so the scenery
