About this experience

Discover the raw geological power of the Reykjanes Peninsula on this exclusive private full-day tour from Reykjavík. As a UNESCO Global Geopark, Reykjanes is one of Iceland's most dramatic landscapes — shaped by volcanic activity, tectonic forces, and geothermal energy that continues to transform the terrain today.

Your guide leads you to the Bridge Between Continents, a symbolic footbridge that spans the rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. From there, explore the Seltún Geothermal Area, where bubbling mud pools and steaming fumaroles create an otherworldly scene. The tour also takes in the striking volcanic surroundings of Kleifarvatn Lake, Iceland's largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula, set against a backdrop of dark lava fields and brooding hills.

The day concludes at the iconic Blue Lagoon, where Premium Admission is pre-included — no separate booking required. Your admission covers entrance to the lagoon, a silica mud mask, towel and bathrobe, your first drink of choice from the lagoon bar, two additional masks of your choice, and a glass of sparkling wine if you dine at Lava Restaurant.

This is a private tour throughout, meaning the vehicle, guide, and itinerary are reserved exclusively for your group. A welcome package including a reusable steel water bottle, map of Iceland, postcards, and Icelandic chocolate is also provided.
