  Pick-up

  Central Reykjavik

  The afternoon or evening departure option to visit the volcano gets straight to the action. After our fast and efficient downtown pickup service, we drive out of the capital area along the moon-like landscape of the Reykjanes peninsula.

  Seltún hot springs

  (Depending on the duration of the volcano hike, we may skip this stop.)

  At Seltún you can view the effect that geothermal waters can have on an environment. Walk along the wooden paths that wind between boiling and hissing mud pools and streams of natural hot water flowing over the colorful ground and rock. The air is thick with the smell of sulfur emitted from these hot springs. Beneath the surface, the hot water dissolves minerals such as sulfur from the rocks and ground soil, leading to this distinctive stench. Two viewing platforms overhang the area allowing you a 360-degree point of view over the area.

  Volcanic Eruption Site

  We join the hiking trail around the lava field remnants of the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption. The first section is the steepest before the trail flattens out for several km. This final section is mossy and bumpy, requires careful negotiation, and would be considered as difficult. Total hiking time is about 2 hours but it can be a little less or more depending on the route we take on a given day.

  We go as close to the most recent volcano as possible. How close depends on many factors, including weather conditions.
