About this experience
Leave the city behind and explore one of Iceland’s most geologically active and visually stunning regions on this private full-day tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula. This scenic route includes powerful geothermal areas, wild coastlines, dramatic lava formations, and rich cultural history — all in one unforgettable day trip from Reykjavík.
Enjoy flexibility, comfort, and personal attention as your private guide takes you to iconic landmarks such as the Bridge Between Continents, Gunnuhver Hot Spring, Brimketill lava rock pool, and Reykjanes Lighthouse — plus lesser-known gems like Hvalsneskirkja Church and the B-24 Memorial.
