We offer convenient airport pick-up and hotel drop-off, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish. Alternatively, we can pick you up from your hotel and drop you off at the airport at the end of the tour.
This private tour begins on a unique note, visiting the Bridge Between Continents, where the North-American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Iceland is the only place in the world where this continental divide is so visible.
Next, we’ll head to the boiling mud pools of Gunnuhver, a site of otherworldly natural beauty. Nearby, you’ll get an up-close look at Iceland’s oldest lighthouse as we hike along the magnificent cliffs, experiencing the full power of the ocean.
We’ll also visit the newly formed lava fields from the recent volcanic eruptions in Geldingardalur, providing a rare opportunity to see steamy new lava.
This tour is a favorite among guides and travelers, perfect for those who want a personalized experience with a local guide from the airport.
