What you can expect

This is not a bus tour or sightseeing stop. It’s a full hike to Iceland’s most active eruption zone—Fagradalsfjall—where new lava flowed as recently as July 2025.

Located in the Reykjanes Peninsula just 40 minutes from Reykjavík, this small-group or private adventure takes you through black lava fields, steaming hills, and dramatic viewpoints shaped by recent eruptions.

Why choose this tour?
• Small group – no buses, no crowds
• Real Local guides from Grindavík & Keflavík with real eruption experience
• Walk around the lava and learn the science behind each eruption
• Walking poles included if needed

Hike Details
• 8 km total (round-trip)
• Moderate 300 m elevation
• 3–4 hours walking time, adjusted to your group’s pace

Pickup Option:
Includes round-trip transfer from Reykjavík plus stops at:
• Seltún geothermal area
• Kleifarvatn Lake
• Grindavík fishing village (recently evacuated)

Perfect for: geology lovers, photographers, families, and anyone who wants to walk Iceland’s newest land with someone who’s lived through the eruptions.

Note: This tour visits a real eruption site where lava last flowed. You’ll hike around fresh lava fields, or new lava (if the eruption is active). All photos are from real tours.
