About this experience
Tour Highlights
- Geothermal areas and bubbling mud pools
- Dramatic volcanic landscapes and lava fields
- Iconic Reykjanes Peninsula coastline
- Reykjanes lighthouse and coastal cliffs
- Hot springs and mineral-rich ponds
- Bridge between continents
Join us for an unforgettable journey across the wild landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula, a UNESCO Global Geopark where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly pull apart.
This tour takes you through a land shaped by fire and lava. In recent years, several volcanic eruptions have transformed the area, creating fresh lava fields and new geological wonders.
We visit some of the peninsula’s most spectacular sites. Walk across the bridge between continents, feel the heat rising from bubbling geothermal fields, and enjoy breathtaking views of the rugged Atlantic coastline.
Reykjanes offers a raw and powerful side of Iceland, where volcanic forces are constantly reshaping the land.
This adventure is perfect for travelers who want to experience Iceland’s volcanic landscapes without the crowds of the more famous routes.
Description from the operator, WayNorth. Prices and availability in the booking panel are live.

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.
- 1WayNorth 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.
- Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.
Why we list it
WayNorth is one of 204 operators we work with — chosen for reliability, honest descriptions and how they treat guests when weather changes plans. We don't list everything; we list what we'd book ourselves. The six checks every operator passes →
Read before you book
- Reykjanes peninsula tour: is it worth a day?What a Reykjanes day tour actually shows you, why the lava fields matter more than the eruption, and which tour to book from Reykjavík or the airport.
- Blue Lagoon transfer: private car, shuttle or taxi?A private Blue Lagoon transfer costs €107 to €232 per car. Under three people the bus is cheaper; with luggage or a late flight the car wins.
- Fagradalsfjall volcano hike: guided or on your own?Hike it alone if you're fit, have a car and the trails are open. Book a guide if you don't drive or it's winter. Either way, expect cooled lava, not an eruption.
