Great experience! The tour guide (Kiki) is so helpful and told us a lot of stories along the road, making it fun and educations (for my 12-year-old girl). Definitely recommend!

It was lovely! I'd recommend it for anyone who doesn't want to do a 10 hours tour straight away. This is a lovely little taster of what Iceland can offer. 10/10

My first time solo travelling I was a little nervous about big groups so this was recommended to me instead. It was amazing I couldn't recommend anything else for solo travellers. The groups are small enough that you don't feel overwhelmed but still have the opportunity to make friends if you wanted. Siggi was amazing cracking jokes and getting everyone involved. 10/10

Great Golden Circle tour with a knowledgeable tour guide. The Northern Lights tour guide was very enthusiastic about the phenomenon and you could tell from the way he talked about it. Unfortunately, we only saw a small trail during our time there, which lasted roughly 4 hours. The lead guide was trying to see if we could chase another sighting on the way back to Reykjavik but we ended up heading straight back. The effort that the guides took into to ensure possible sightings was admirable and definitely a stark change from another tour that we went on the previous night. Whilst the offer of rebooking the tour was there, unfortunately we were leaving the next day so were unable to try again during the trip. However, the enthusiasm the guides experienced and the fact that they did try to go to another site to ensure a sighting is why next time I shall book with the same company (Grey Line Iceland) .

Best Day Trips from Reykjavik

Reykjavik, Iceland's vibrant capital, serves as the perfect launching point for exploring the country's stunning natural beauty. Numerous day trips are available from Reykjavik , offering a wide range of unique experiences.

Another option is the enchanting Snaefellsnes Peninsula , featuring the Snaefellsjokull glacier and a rugged coastline, often referred to as "Iceland in Miniature."

Animal lovers will appreciate a whale-watching tour departing from Reykjavik's harbor, where you can spot majestic humpback whales and playful dolphins in their natural habitat. 

In winter, the chance to witness the elusive northern lights, a celestial spectacle, is a must-consider excursion.

In Reykjavik itself, you can immerse yourself in Icelandic culture by visiting the iconic Hallgrimskirkja church , exploring the vibrant streets of Laugavegur for shopping and dining, or delving into the nation's history at the National Museum of Iceland.

On this minibus tour, you will certainly feel like you are in another world. Thanks to its diversity of geothermal and volcanic activity, Reykjanes Peninsula is a UNESCO Global Geopark and also part of the European and Global Geopark network. Reykjanes is dotted with huge lava fields and is one of the very few places in the world where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is visible above the sea level. Despite its relative proximity to Reykjavík and Keflavík International Airport, the peninsula is not crowded by tourists and stays an authentic gem off the beaten path.

The tour begins when with collection from Reykjavik, please note that this process can last up to thirty minutes, depending on your location. From there we will make the scenic journey to our first destination, Lake Kleifarvatn . Lake Kleifarvatn is the largest lake in Reykjanes Peninsula , situated in a dramatic volcanic crater close to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The lake is incredibly deep, reaching down close to 100 meters at certain points. It is also completely unique, as it has doesn’t have any rivers flowing into it, meaning that the amount of water in it is defined by the groundwater. In Icelandic legend, it is believed to be home to a strange mythical creature, an Icelandic version of the Loch Ness monster. This along with the spectacular natural scenery made up of coal-black cliffs, black sands, and murky waters, makes it a must-see during your Icelandic visit.

From there we will push on into the Krysuvik area , a hilly region known for the multi-colored sulfur deposits that dye its slopes. There are also several colorful crater lakes in the area, alongside bubbling hot springs and a myriad of different bird species, including kittiwakes, guillemots, and razorbills, who often dive from the cliffs into the blue Atlantic Ocean below.

After that, we will move to Gunnuhver , an expanse of molten seawater, which throws a massive plume of smoke into the air. It is surrounded by colorful rocks that have been dyed various shades of blue and orange by the volcanic activity in the area. It is famous for the rather tragic story of an old woman named Gudrun, who lived in the area sometime in the 18th century. Unfortunately, the locals suspected her of being a witch, meaning that they treated her with suspicion and dislike. By the time of her death, she had been involved in many disputes, including with a judge, who attended her funeral and was then found dead and mutilated the next day. The locals blamed the old woman’s ghost, who proceeded to torment the area until a local priest helped them to trap her in the hot spring. Icelandic folklore holds that she remains trapped there until this day and the spring is named after her. We will continue to pick our way down the coast, enjoying some spectacular birdlife on the cliffs of Valhnukar and seeing the lonely old Reykjanesviti Lighthouse , which gazes out to sea.

Our final stop is known as the Bridge between two continents, a small footbridge that crosses the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which provides the perfect visual representation of how the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are drifting away from each other. It is located in the village of Sandvik and is one of the few places that you can cross continents on foot.

Our Reykjanes tour is perfect for anyone who wants to create some unforgettable moments in truly majestic Icelandic surroundings. It is also perfectly located, providing access to places like the Blue Lagoon , Keflavik Airport , and Reykjavik . This means that it could be a final day treat, after which we drop you at the airport, or combined with another wonderful tour, such as the Blue Lagoon. However, you want to do it: we promise that Reykjanes is a spectacular Icelandic destination that you won’t want to miss!
