Iceland Active Volcano Hike + Blue Lagoon Hot Spring Day Trip (Including Blue Lagoon Comfort Ticket)

After all passengers have gathered, we will set off for the volcanic area of the Reykjanes Peninsula. (Lake Kleifarvatn may not be included in every tour. This stop may be skipped if the volcanic hike takes longer than expected.) Lake Kleifarvatn is the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula. The surrounding mountains were formed by volcanic eruptions under the ice sheet. The lake is adorned with black basalt beaches and alien rock formations sculpted by the weather. Underwater hot springs, caused by earthquakes and plate movements, bubble constantly, creating a unique landscape at Kleifarvatn. After two years of calm, the Reykjanes volcano finally erupted in July 2023, with a series of earthquakes heralding a new round of eruptions. On July 10, the Litli Hrutur fissure, located north of the Meradalir eruption site, erupted again. The hike to the best viewing point takes about 2 hours, and the route may vary daily depending on wind and weather conditions. The path has a few short, steep sections, but is generally flat. The guide will ensure that this adventure is both fun and safe, with all routes and activities meeting safety requirements and adjusted according to on-site safety department recommendations. As you pass through the southern Reykjanes Peninsula, you will appreciate the beautiful scenery, with dense lava fields meeting the Atlantic Ocean, until you reach the fishing village of Grindavík. Grindavík is one of Iceland’s main fishing ports, and the fishing industry is the economic backbone of the village, making it the best place to learn about Icelandic fishing culture. The lives of approximately 3,300 people here depend mainly on fishing and related industries, providing approximately half of Iceland’s salted fish products. The Blue Lagoon (Bláa Lónið in Icelandic) is a geothermal spa resort located on the Reykjanes Peninsula. In use since 1976, the Blue Lagoon has been hailed as one of the modern wonders of the world and is very popular. Your “Comfort Ticket” includes a towel, a free drink at the pool bar, and a silica mud mask. You can enjoy 2 hours of relaxation in the Blue Lagoon, feeling your body and mind relax and rejuvenate. Then return to Reykjavik to end the journey.
