Reykjavík: Volcano Eruption Site and Reykjanes Hiking Tour

1. Reykjavík: Volcano Eruption Site and Reykjanes Hiking Tour

Update August 9th: The flow of new lava at Litli-Hrutur has stopped, at least for the time being. The area is still smoldering and is fascinating to visit. After a period on calm following eruption in 2012 and 2022, the Reykjanes Peninsula has awoken once more. In mid-July, a new volcano at Litli Hrutur erupted spewing lava and smoke over a vast area. Discover the beauty of volcanic landscapes in the Geldingadalur Valley on this day trip from Reykjavík. Walk past the eruption site Meradalir and Fagraadalsfjall Volcano areas to see the new lava fields. Capture photos at locations like Lake Kleifarvatn, The Bridge between Continents, and Gunnuhver Hot Springs. Start with a pickup in Reykjavík before heading on a scenic drive surrounded by breathtaking views. Stop by Lake Kleifarvatn to take in the black sand beach and surrounding mountains. Lace up your hiking boots and begin the long walk towards Litli Hrutur, north of Meradalir. Please note that the hike is of moderate to hard difficulty and takes around 2 hours each way. But please note that the route we take can vary depending on conditions on the day. We will always take you to the safest viewing point. This is a good moment to eat your packed lunch. Drive the Reykjanes Peninsula, where volcanoes have shaped the area, with immense ancient lava fields now covered by soft green lava moss. Continue to the Gunnuhver Hot Springs to breathe in steam from the boiling waters. Make your way to the oldest lighthouse in Iceland Reykjanes Lighthouse. Admire the cliffs and sea stacks formed by the Atlantic Ocean at the Valhnúkamöl Boulder Ridge. Finally, see the Bridge Between Continents which crosses a rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Get a picture of you walking across the bridge before returning to Reykjavík.

Our guide Siggi was informative, entertaining and fun. We saw some amazing places, including geothermal areas and the bridge between continents which was cool. The volcano hike was moderate difficulty, it was windy so it made it more challenging. We saw lava fields with steam coming out but the last eruption was in August and we didn’t actually get to see any lava.

Walking on still smoldering brittle lava fields of the volcano which crumbled under your feet gave it an other worldly experience . The Gunnuhver steam vents where one can disappear in the steam was also awesome ! Guide was informative , charming and entertaining !

Amazing, the guide and driver are fabulous. The best tour ever. We have been in many places, was a really bad weather but they adapt everything for us.

The volcano adventure was fantastic! We hike to the view point of the volcano and the hike and the views were STUNNING!!

An easy going tour with a great very knowledgeable guide
