  • Fagradalsfjall Active Volcano, Grindavik, Iceland
    Witness the active volcanic eruption of Fagradalsfjall volcano in Geldingadalur valley. Join this life-time experience to see lava pouring in spectacular molten rivers or spurting high in the air… A guided hike to be as close as possible to this raw and powerful phenomenon.
    240 minutes
  • Kleifarvatn Lake, Iceland
    The largest and deepest lake in this part of Iceland. The lake sits on a highly active volcanic fissure zone. The lake is surrounded by black sand shores and volcanic mountains. After the series of earthquakes in 2000, the lake began to disappear into a large fissure created by one of the earthquakes : an enigmatic phenomenon… Summer houses that were once mere steps from waterfront are now more than a kilometer away from the water’s edge. The placid waters have dropped more than four meters during the following year. In their place is a barren lake bed speckled with sulphur-rimmed thermal springs that spit boiling water and mud.
    45 minutes
  • Geothermal Area Krysuvik, Reykjavik, Iceland
    We continue our journey to the charming geothermal field of Seltún. This place has many mudpots and fumaroles, heated by an underground magma chamber. Sulphuric water and gases have created colorful deposits. We will take a wooden pathways to explore this fascinating area, especially when a new maar is born with a spectacular explosion.
    45 minutes
  • Grænavatn, 241, IJsland
    Near the geothermal fields are located several maars, rounded lakes. They were formed by explosions caused by the overheated steam of groundwater. We will stop at the largest one : Grænavatn. Up to 46 meters deep and 350 meters wide, it is a gorgeous emerald colored lake caused by a combination of thermal algae and sunlight absorbing crystals.
    45 minutes
  • Krisuvikurberg, 241, Iceland
    The journey proceeds through one of Iceland’s best-known bird-cliffs and the highest cliffs in the southwest part of Iceland. Their average height is 50 meters, and the highest point is 70 meters. It is a home for almost 60 000 pairs of birds – mostly gulls, guillemots, razorbills, fulmars. From the middle of March to the end of August you can watch also puffins – a living symbol of Iceland. And if we are lucky we can also see whales and dolphins which are floating near the shore.
    45 minutes
  • Gunnuhver Hot Springs, Grindavik, Iceland
    This place is both surprising and enchanting. This is a crater with ocher and orange stones that contrast with the turquoise milky waters of a lake located at the top. It is said that if you put your head under the water, you can hear the volcano breathing…
    45 minutes
  • Bridge Between Continents, Iceland
    he tour continues through wonderful lava fields and we go to the unique place where two of the Earth’s tectonic plates split. You will have the opportunity to walk over this footbridge which crosses the fissure. This 18 meters long bridge, in a symbolic purpose, illustrates the phenomenon of continental drift and connects the tectonic plates. It is where the Old World (Eurasian continent) and the New World (North American continent) was engaged in a tug of war. From the 1220s to the 1240s, the area was all on fire ! Evidence of this firestorm can still be seen in the canyons, crevices and along the jagged lines of this amazing place.

When we booked this tour we were excited that we were going to be able to witness an active, erupting volcano, which what is advertised in the description. The day before the tour we received an email telling us that the volcano had stopped erupting and so it was not possible to see any flowing lava, as was advertised. We were given the option to cancel but decided to continue because we assumed it had only just stopped erupting and wanted to see the other sites on the tour and we had limited time in Iceland to rearrange. Our guide, Adam, picked us up from our hotel and we found that we were the only ones, because the others had cancelled, so it made a very special, personal tour. Adam was great - he was very knowledgeable about the recent volcano which he told us had erupted for around 6 months last year, ending in November 2021. That means that when we booked it (April 2022) for our visit in June 2022 it had stopped for several months. Adam was very apologetic but it was hardly his fault and he had warned us the day before. He showed us his videos and photos that he had taken during the 6 months' eruption and took us to the end of the most recent lava flow. THE TOUR IS STILL BEING DESCRIBED AS: "Witness the active volcanic eruption of Fagradalsfjall volcano in Geldingadalur valley. Join this life-time experience to see lava pouring in spectacular molten rivers or spurting high in the air… A guided hike to be as close as possible to this raw and powerful phenomenon." THIS IS COMPLETELY MISLEADING

Adam was an amazing, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Took care of us while hiking a mountain during snowstorms and high winds and always made sure we were safe and OK. Made unplanned, unexpected stops to some beautiful sites just so that we could take great pictures. Definitively recommend, you will not be disappointed. Hoping to one day return and do the highlands. We’ll be booking with Adam for sure!
