About this experience
Begin your tour with a convenient pick-up. If you've booked a private tour, enjoy direct door-to-door hotel pickup and drop-off in Reykjavík. If you’ve booked a shared tour, meet your guide at a central designated meeting point (official Tour Bus Stops 1–14).
Head to Kleifarvatn Lake, where you can take in the views of the surrounding mountains. Next, visit the Seltún Geothermal Area and walk along the boardwalks to see the bubbling mud pools and steaming vents.
Continue to the Bláalónsvegur Lava Field, where you can see the vast expanse of black basalt lava. Then, visit the Gunnuhver Steam Vents, where you can feel the heat of the steam rising from the ground.
Finally, walk across the Bridge Between Continents, which spans the gap between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. After your tour, return to your pick-up point in Reykjavik.
