About this experience
Embark on an epic 5-6 hour journey across the wild Reykjanes Peninsula, guided by a geothermal specialist who will unlock the secrets of Iceland’s fiery underworld. Straddling the mighty Mid-Atlantic Ridge, this landscape pulses with raw energy - from bubbling mud cauldrons to dramatic ocean cliffs that dare you to stand at the edge of the world.
Highlights:
- Walk Between Continents: Brave the legendary footbridge that links the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates - cross from one continent to another in a single, unforgettable stride.
- Geothermal Wonders: Venture to the mysterious Kleifarvatn Lake, marvel at the steaming Seltún geothermal fields, gaze into the swirling Brimketill rock pool, and feel the spray from the thunderous Valahnúkamöl cliffs and Gunnuhver’s churning mud pools.
- Blue Lagoon: Snap the ultimate adventure selfie at the iconic geothermal spa, basking in its otherworldly blue mist (outside only).
- Volcanic Insights: Get the inside scoop on recent eruptions and volcanic phenomena from your expert guide, who brings Iceland’s explosive history to life.

Cancellation for this tour
No refund once booked. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
If the weather cancels this tour
Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is wind on the ridge or a change in eruption activity — civil protection decides, not the operator. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 1ICELAND TRANSFER AND EXCURSION decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
- 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
- 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.
What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until the cutoff shown above, the operator's policy after that.

Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.
Who this is not for
- Not the one to book if your dates might move: this operator does not refund once booked.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

Teka drove us from the cruise terminal to our hotel and our hotel to the airport the next morning. We needed a minibus, and he provided excellent service for a very fair price. He took great care with my dad who is in a wheelchair and offered him lots of help. He arrived early for our airport transfer. Would recommend him to anyone in need of a larger vehicle. Trustworthy, communicative, and friendly. Happy we lucked into him in the taxi line at the cruise terminal!

I highly recommend Teka Taxi!! Teka took great care to make our Iceland vacation an awesome one!! He went over the top by picking us up at the Port after our cruise and took us on a great adventure seeing even more wonderful sights before taking us to the airport in a timely manner. By pre arranging our pick ups with Teka our time in Iceland was stress free. Spending our last day there with a caring and thoughtful driver made a huge impact. Thank you Teka!!!

Teka is the driver who has been coordinating with me throughout the booking process and during the entire trip. He is responsive in answering my questions and he and his team are super helpful. They are good driver and always on time and most importantly they are very careful with their driving. I would highly recommend anyone to hire them should you visit Iceland.

Teka picked us up at the airport and took us to our hotel. The next day he drove us to the cruise port. At the end of our 7 day cruise Teka picked us up from the cruise port and we toured the area around Reykjavik. Our party of 4 had a wonderful relaxing day. It was the perfect end to our time in Iceland. After disembarking the cruise ship at 9 am and our flight to Canada didn’t leave until 5 pm we had the day to tour around. We got to see these beautiful sites: Kleifarvatn Geithermal lake Seltún Geothermal area Gunnuhver geothermal area Brimketill lava rock pool The Bridge Between Continents Coastal scenery and lava fields A stop at the Blue Lagoon for photos. It was a wonderful way to both see the area and then be dropped off at the airport. I highly recommend booking with Teka . Communication was prompt for both booking the tour and the transfers and answering any questions I had. The van was spotless and comfortable. He is a very good driver, extremely polite and accommodating , knowledgeable and always had a smile on his face. We travelled at our own pace stopping, at each place to walk around and take pictures of the gorgeous countryside. He answered many questions about the sites that we saw , as well as life in Iceland. I would not hesitate recommending his services . It was such a great experience and one that we will always remember ! Thank you Teka!

Airport transfers — questions people ask
How do I get from Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík?
It is about 50 kilometres and 45 minutes by road; there is no train. Scheduled airport coaches run to the BSÍ terminal after every arrival and are the cheapest option. Private transfers (/experience/942190/, /experience/1193487/) meet you at the door and drop you at your hotel, worth it for families or late arrivals. Taxis are expensive. If you are stopping at the Blue Lagoon, book a transfer that includes it (/experience/1036423/).
How early should I be at Keflavík Airport for my flight?
Two and a half hours before a European flight and three before North America; the airport is small and queues bunch around the morning and afternoon departure waves. From central Reykjavík allow 45 to 60 minutes' driving plus a buffer in winter weather. That means leaving your hotel three and a half to four hours before departure. Coaches and transfers work backwards from your flight time when you book.
How do I get to Landmannalaugar without a 4x4?
By highland bus. From late June to September, scheduled transfers run from Reykjavík to Landmannalaugar (/experience/247406/, /experience/914986/) and back, about four hours each way on gravel and river crossings. The return-in-a-day option (/experience/270187/) gives you several hours at the site. Rental cars without 4x4 are not insured on these roads and get stuck. If you are hiking Laugavegur, the luggage transfer (/experience/1036525/) moves your bag hut to hut.
Is a private airport transfer worth it?
For three or more people, or a night arrival, yes. The coach drops you at a terminal or a hotel bus stop and you may need a shuttle or a walk with luggage; a private car goes door to door and waits if your flight is late. For a couple on a daytime flight with light bags, the coach is fine and much cheaper. Check the tour page for what happens if your flight is delayed.
