The Grapevine's take
Reykjanes Peninsula
Rugged, yet charming, Reykjanes is a great daytrip, with numerous recent eruption sights that can be visited (if there isn’t an ongoing eruption that is), Kleifarvatn lake, hot springs, rock formations, rock-beating surf and the options of checking out half-abandoned town and eruption-casualty Grindavík, along with numerous other options along the way in a road trip that can easily be done in a single day.

About this tour
Embark on an unforgettable journey across the Reykjanes Peninsula, where the raw power of nature is on full display. Begin your adventure at Stampar, a line of volcanic craters formed during historical eruptions, offering a glimpse into the Earth’s turbulent past. Then, marvel at the otherworldly landscape of Gunnuhver, Iceland’s most active mud pool, where steam billows and sulfur scents fill the air in a scene that feels lifted from a science fiction movie.
Continue your exploration at the Fagradalsfjall lava field, a recent site of volcanic activity where cooled black lava still retains the shape of fiery flows. Nearby, the colorful geothermal area of Seltún captivates with vibrant mineral deposits and bubbling hot springs—a visual reminder of the island’s intense geological activity. Your underground adventure awaits at The Lava Tunnel, where you’ll descend into a stunning lava tube formed over 5,000 years ago, walking through natural rock formations shaped by molten rivers.
The tour concludes at the Geothermal Exhibition at Hellisheiði Power Plant, where science and sustainability meet. Through interactive displays and expert guides, you’ll learn how Iceland harnesses geothermal energy to power its homes and heat its water. This tour combines natural wonder, geological insight, and immersive experiences, making it ideal for curious minds and lovers of dramatic landscapes.
