Highlights

Leave the city behind and explore one of Iceland’s most geologically active and visually stunning regions on this private full-day tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula. This scenic route includes powerful geothermal areas, wild coastlines, dramatic lava formations, and rich cultural history — all in one unforgettable day trip from Reykjavík. Enjoy flexibility, comfort, and personal attention as your private guide takes you to iconic landmarks such as the Bridge Between Continents, Gunnuhver Hot Spring, Brimketill lava rock pool, and Reykjanes Lighthouse — plus lesser-known gems like Hvalsneskirkja Church and the B-24 Memorial.

About Reykjavik

Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.

The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.

Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
