With your knowledgeable guide, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the region's natural wonders and cultural heritage. Feel free to ask them questions at any point of the excursion.

Reykjanes peninsula, located on the southwestern tip of Iceland, is a region steeped in geological marvels and natural beauty. Its unique landscapes have earned it a place on the UNESCO Global Geopark list. This is your opportunity to witness the forces of nature at play in this extraordinary corner of the world.
Your adventure begins at Kleifarvatn, a scenic lake in a stark volcanic landscape. The lake is known for its underwater hot springs, which are dominant features of Reykjanes. In 2000, an earthquake diminished at least 20% of its surface. You'll hear more about this from your guide.
Another highlight of the peninsula is the Krysuvikurbjarg cliffs, where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the rugged coastline. Here, you'll witness the mighty Atlantic Ocean waves crashing against the stunning cliffs. In summer, it is also home to thousands of seabirds.
A visit to the Reykjanes peninsula wouldn't be complete without exploring its numerous geothermal areas. The most prominent are the Gunnuhver geothermal field and the Seltun hot springs. Bubbling mud pots, steam vents, and colorful rocks will welcome you to these locations.
Reykjanesviti lighthouse, Iceland's oldest, is another possible stop in your itinerary. It stands tall as a guardian of the coastline and provides panoramic views of the surrounding area.
Finally, you'll visit the Bridge Between Continents, a unique geological site along the mid-Atlantic rift. The bridge symbolizes the separation between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it one of the most photographed locations in Reykjanes.
After an exciting time in the Reykjanes peninsula, the guide will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik, marking the end of this private tour in Iceland.
