Grindavík: Private Volcano Hike & Blue Lagoon Eco Tour – 10 Hours

This private 10-hour tour from operator EV Travel combines two of Iceland's most dramatic experiences: a guided hike on Fagradalsfjall Volcano and a restorative soak at the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa. Travel in a luxury electric Mercedes EQV powered entirely by renewable energy, reducing your carbon footprint to zero.

Your day begins with hotel pickup before heading to the Seltun geothermal area on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Walk a guided pathway past bubbling mud springs and steaming volcanic vents, where vivid mineral colours and the scent of sulfur signal the raw geological forces beneath your feet.

From there, the tour moves to Fagradalsfjall, located just outside Grindavík. A moderate return hike — approximately 60 minutes each way — leads to a viewpoint overlooking the crater and surrounding lava fields. Your guide shares insights into the volcanic geology that has shaped this remarkable landscape, while walking sticks and crampons are provided for your safety and comfort.

After the hike, a lunch reservation at a local restaurant is arranged (lunch costs are not included in the tour price). The day concludes at the iconic Blue Lagoon, where mineral-rich waters at 38°C (100°F) await. At checkout, choose from Comfort, Premium, or Signature spa packages to tailor your experience. Blue Lagoon admission is pre-included, so no separate booking is required.

Your guide collects you directly from your hotel for a full day on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The first stop is the Seltun geothermal area, where a boardwalk path winds through steaming vents, colourful mineral deposits, and active mud pools — a vivid introduction to Iceland's volcanic geology.

The centrepiece of the day is a moderate return hike at Fagradalsfjall Volcano. The trail covers roughly 60 minutes each way across rugged lava terrain, reaching a viewpoint with views of the crater and the still-steaming lower lava fields. Walking sticks and crampons are supplied, and your guide maintains safety throughout while explaining the area's geological history.

A lunch reservation at a local restaurant follows the hike, with Icelandic soups, sandwiches, and seafood on the menu (lunch is at your own cost). The tour concludes at the Blue Lagoon, where you soak in 38°C mineral-rich waters, apply a complimentary silica mud mask, and choose your preferred spa package at checkout.

EV Travel operates exclusively with electric Mercedes EQV vehicles charged on 100% renewable Icelandic energy, making this one of the most environmentally responsible private tours available on the Reykjanes Peninsula. A tree is also planted for every tour taken.

The private format means the itinerary is yours alone — no shared coaches, no fixed group pace. An English-speaking professional driver-guide accompanies you throughout, combining safety expertise on the volcano trail with genuine geological knowledge.

All key equipment — walking sticks, crampons, towel, local water, snacks, and Wi-Fi — is provided, and Blue Lagoon admission is pre-included across all three spa tiers, so the day runs seamlessly from first pickup to final soak.
