Description

Discover Iceland's 'melting pot' where geothermal energy, seismic activity, and tectonic movements can all be found on this small-group half-day tour. Meet your driver at your centrally located hotel; bus stop, if your hotel isn't on the pick-up list; or at the Reykjavík cruise port, then board a climate-controlled minibus for a trip to the Reykjanes Peninsula. Your first stop is the serene Kleifarvatn Lake, nestled atop a fissure zone and fed entirely by underground springs. From there, journey to Graenavatn, a small, vibrant lake occupying a volcanic crater, known for its striking teal-colored water. Continue to the multicolored hills of Krysuvik, where you can stretch your legs with a walk amongst the bubbling hot springs. Next, you'll experience the dramatic landscape around Grindavík, where you can witness the newly formed lava fields and the eerie, abandoned city that was once a thriving community. The tour continues to the geothermal mud pools of Gunnuhver, where you’ll hear the captivating local ghost story. Keep an eye out for diverse birdlife along this coastal stretch before visiting Reykjanesviti, Iceland's oldest lighthouse. Finally, bridge the gap between continents as you cross the symbolic “Bridge Between the Continents,” spanning Iceland’s two tectonic plates. The tour is perfect if you want to experience the rugged beauty of Iceland before boarding your flight. The bus will make an optional drop-off at Keflavik International Airport as well as the Blue Lagoon. Expect to return to Reykjavik by around 4 PM.
