Reykjanes
The Reykjanes Peninsula is where Iceland begins — or ends, depending on where you've just flown in from. This raw, volcanic landscape is one of the only places on earth where a mid-ocean ridge rises above sea level, meaning you can literally stand on the boundary between two tectonic plates. We'll explore the moonscape lava fields, dramatic coastlines, and steaming hot springs before finishing at the world-famous Blue Lagoon — perfect if you've pre-booked your soak.
A footbridge spanning the rift valley between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Stand with one foot on each continent over a gap that widens by 2 centimetres every year. A uniquely Icelandic experience.
Iceland's largest boiling mud pool — a surreal, steaming landscape of bubbling grey sludge and geothermal vents. Named after a ghost from Icelandic folklore, this otherworldly spot is one of Reykjanes' most dramatic sights.
Jagged lava fields, sea stacks, and crashing Atlantic waves — the Reykjanes lighthouse stands on one of Iceland's most dramatic coastal promontories. On clear days, the views stretch back to Reykjavík.
The world's most famous geothermal spa — milky blue mineral-rich waters set in a dramatic lava field. We drop you here and collect you when you're finished. Entrance tickets not included — pre-book at bluelagoon.com.
