Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The tour time included transportation. We will drive to Seltún from Reykjavik. The drive takes about one hour. Seltún is a geothermal area located in the Reykjanes Peninsula, southwest of Iceland. It is part of the larger Reykjanes Geopark, which is a UNESCO Global Geopark. Seltún is known for its colorful and unique landscape, which is a result of the geothermal activity in the area.

The area features boiling mud pots, hot springs, and fumaroles that emit steam and gas. The landscape is dominated by vibrant hues of yellow, green, and orange, which are caused by the presence of sulfur and other minerals in the soil.

Stop 2

Kleifarvatn is a lake located on the Reykjanes Peninsula with a surface area of about 9.1 square kilometers.

The lake is known for its striking black sand beaches, rugged cliffs, and stunning mountain views. It is surrounded by a lunar-like landscape, with geothermal fields and hot springs that add to its unique character.

Kleifarvatn is also known for its diverse and abundant wildlife, including several species of birds, fish, and mammals. Visitors to the lake can go fishing for trout and arctic char, or hike in the surrounding hills and valleys in search of wildlife and stunning vistas.

One of the most fascinating features of Kleifarvatn is its underwater hot springs, which were discovered in 2000. The hot springs, which are located at the bottom of the lake, have created a unique ecosystem and attract a variety of rare and unusual species.

Fagradalsfjall is a volcano located in southwest Iceland, near the town of Grindavik on the Reykjanes Peninsula. It began erupting in March 2021 and finished in November 2021, marking the first volcanic eruption in the area in over 800 years.

The eruption at Fagradalsfjall is a relatively small and effusive one, characterized by the steady flow of lava from a fissure in the ground. Visitors to the area can hike up to the eruption site and observe the lava as it flows down the mountainside, creating a stunning display of orange and red light against the dark volcanic landscape.

5

Brimketill is a natural rock pool located on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland. It is a popular attraction due to its unique geology and location by the ocean. The pool is filled with geothermal water and is heated naturally by the surrounding volcanic activity. The name "brimketill" translates to "surf cauldron" in English, which is fitting as the pool is often filled with waves crashing in from the ocean. Brimketill is also said to have a mystical and magical quality, and it has been the subject of many Icelandic folklore tales.

6

Gunnuhver is a geothermal area located in the southwest of Iceland on the Reykjanes Peninsula. It is known for its impressive and active hot springs, mud pools, and steam vents.

The area is named after a ghost called "Gunna", who is said to have haunted the area in the past. According to the legend, Gunna was a wealthy farmer who was accused of stealing her neighbor's land. She died soon after, and her ghost is said to have continued haunting the area, causing mischief and chaos.

7

The Bridge Between Continents is a small footbridge located in Reykjanes, that spans the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a tectonic boundary between the North American and Eurasian plates. The bridge is a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors the opportunity to stand in two continents at once.

The bridge was built in 2002 to commemorate the geological significance of the area, and to provide visitors with a unique and memorable way to experience the geological forces at work in Iceland. The bridge is a simple, yet elegant structure, made of steel and concrete, and it spans a gap of about 18 meters (59 feet).

8

Sky Lagoon is a geothermal spa located in Kópavogur, just south of Reykjavik. It offers visitors a chance to relax and rejuvenate in a stunning natural setting, surrounded by rugged volcanic landscapes and views of the Atlantic Ocean.
The spa has several geothermal pools, a sauna, a steam room, and a cold plunge pool, as well as a swim-up bar and a restaurant that serves traditional Icelandic cuisine. The highlight of the spa is its infinity pool, which appears to blend seamlessly with the ocean beyond, creating a breathtaking and surreal experience.
One of the unique features of Sky Lagoon is its use of geothermal seawater, which is pumped from deep beneath the earth's surface and contains a variety of minerals that are believed to have therapeutic benefits. The water is naturally heated to a temperature of around 38-40 degrees Celsius (100-104 degrees Fahrenheit), making it perfect for relaxing and unwinding. After that we will drive back to Reykjavik. It will take about 15 minutes
