About this experience

Discover Iceland’s hidden gems on a private, fully customizable tour from Reykjavik.

Escape the crowds and explore unique landscapes just outside the city — including volcanic craters, geothermal areas, rugged coastlines, and lesser-known scenic spots most travelers miss.

Travel in comfort in a 4x4 vehicle with a local guide, flexible itinerary, and no fixed schedule. I’ll adapt the route based on weather and your preferences to give you the best possible experience.

You’ll be picked up directly from your accommodation or Keflavík Airport if needed.

Perfect for couples, small groups, and travelers looking for a more personal and authentic Iceland experience.

Itinerary

  1. Tour stop

    The picturesque cliff stretches for several dozen meters. It measures just over 10 m in height, and at its foot there is a beach filled with rounded stones and boulders. The water here is usually rough and breaks against the rocks sticking out of the sea.

  2. Tour stop

    Carved by the pounding of waves against soft lava rock, Brimketill is a large, natural pool that sits at the bottom of a cliff at the ocean’s edge. In summer, it is a place of beauty and serenity; in winter, it becomes a place of dramatic wonder.

  3. Tour stop

    Reykjanesvíti lighthouse was first built in 1878, although it was damaged beyond repair just eight years later following a major earthquake. The current building was raised in 1907–1908 and, save from having gas installed in 1929, has remained little-changed since.

  4. Tour stop

    Solfatara fields of Krýsuvík, where you’ll discover an expanse of steaming volcanic vents and boiling hot springs, framed dramatically by a range of multi-colored hills.

  5. Tour stop

    Just a few kilometers south of the Geothermal area Seltún at Krísuvík is a small lake, Grænavatn (Greenlake). The lake is a volcanic crater that got its name from its unusual green color. The color is due to a high level of sulfur in the water and its depth

  6. Tour stop

    Kleifarvatn is the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula, located in the southwest of Iceland. It covers an area of 9.1 square kilometers (3.5 square miles) and is one of Iceland's deepest lakes, reaching a depth of 97 meters (318 feet).

  7. Tour stop

    Recent volcano eruption 1hour hike.
