This area is renowned for its dramatic lava landscapes, with conic volcanoes, fields of jagged basalt, geothermal areas, and geological marvels. 

Start with Reykjavik pickup-if lodging elsewhere, please make arrangements to go to the city. 

We will go as close as the authorities allow us- please note this may change as authorities open areas for viewing and hiking. Right now, the trail would be rated MODERATE. 

Wearing proper hiking footwear, and packing snacks and water. 

We do have rentals for ponchos and hiking boots- please inquire early via email to ensure availability. 

Please note, we can not guarantee an active eruption.

Flaming craters and fissures, gleaming rivers of molten rock, and a glowing field of lava make the time you will spend here unforgettable. Be sure to bring a drone or camera to capture this phenomenal event. If there is a major eruption, there may be age restrictions in place for the safety of any small children. If you are unsure, please contact us before booking. We are happy to answer any questions. 

After enjoying this incredible site, you’ll head back to Reykjavik with some once-in-a-lifetime memories. If you are traveling in winter-join us for a Northern Lights Tour!
