What you’ll do

This itinerary is built up of 3x day trips. This means you always return to Reykjavik in the evening and head out on a new adventure the following day.

It doesn't matter which order you do the tours in. You can swap around as you like. I would recommend to check the weather at the start of your trip. It can be different conditions in the different areas so you may want to schedule the tours depending on that.

Reykjanes Peninsula

Reykjanes has become extra popular due to the recent volcanic eruptions. This may sound scary but there's actually no need to worry, life in Iceland continues as usual even though we have an erupting volcano.

The eruptions are very hard to predict when they will happen and if there's an active eruption some roads may close. So before traveling around Reykjanes it's a good idea to check https://safetravel.is/ for up to date conditions.

At some eruptions, the public has been allowed to walk to the volcano to see it. This is really an amazing experience and if it's allowed then I can highly recommend it.

If not the rest of Reykjanes peninsula is also very interesting to explore and I think you will have a great day here.
