About this experience

This full-day tour takes you deep into Iceland's volcanic landscape, combining a guided hike to the Fagradalsfjall Volcano eruption site with a relaxing soak at the Blue Lagoon. Departing from Reykjavík, you'll travel to the Reykjanes Peninsula to explore one of the most geologically active regions on Earth.

Your expert guide leads you on a medium-difficulty hike through the Geldingadalir valley, where ancient and recent lava flows meet and the raw power of Iceland's volcanic system is on full display. Volcanic activity varies naturally from day to day — even without an active eruption, the landscape of hardened lava fields and geothermal vents is a compelling and otherworldly sight.

After the hike, the tour continues to the Blue Lagoon, where your Comfort Admission is pre-included — no separate booking required. Soak in the warm, mineral-rich waters, enjoy a silica mud mask, a drink of your choice, and the use of a towel, rounding off a day that spans Iceland's most dramatic geological contrasts.

The tour runs for approximately 9 hours and includes a lunch stop, though food is not included in the price. Pickup and drop-off from Reykjavík is available, with onboard Wi-Fi provided throughout the journey.

Experience details

Your day begins with hotel-area pickup in Reykjavík before heading to the Reykjanes Peninsula. Once at the trailhead, your guide leads the group on a medium-difficulty hike to the Fagradalsfjall eruption site. The hike can take up to around two hours return, crossing lava fields and passing geothermal features unique to this active volcanic zone.

Volcanic activity is a natural phenomenon and conditions vary daily. Whether or not the volcano is actively erupting, the terrain and geology make for a remarkable visit.

After the hike, the tour includes a lunch stop (food not included in price) before continuing to the Blue Lagoon. Your Comfort Admission covers entry to the geothermal pool, a silica mud mask, use of a towel, and one drink of your choice. The tour returns to Reykjavík in the evening after approximately 9 hours total.
