Itinerary and highlights

Krýsuvík & Seltún Geothermal Area: Located on the mid-Atlantic ridge, this area is known for its bubbling mud pools, steaming hot springs, and colorful, mineral-rich ground. The steam rising from the vents and the vibrant colors make it a striking place to visit.

Krýsuvíkur Church: A small, historic church on the Reykjanes Peninsula, offering a glimpse into Iceland’s past. Though simple, it’s an important part of the local history and culture.

Kleifarvatn Lake: This beautiful lake is surrounded by volcanic hills and lava fields. It’s a peaceful spot with stunning views, and its still waters often reflect the surrounding landscape.

Bridge Between Continents: This symbolic bridge connects the tectonic plates of Europe and North America. Walking across it means you're stepping between two continents, a unique experience in Iceland.

Lava Fields: Explore the vast lava fields, where older fields are covered in soft moss and newer ones are sharp, black rock. These fields were formed by volcanic eruptions and show how Iceland’s landscape is constantly changing.

Reykjanesviti Lighthouse: The oldest lighthouse in Iceland, it stands proudly on the tip of the peninsula. From here, you can enjoy wide views of the ocean and the surrounding volcanic landscape.
Reykjanestá: Located at the tip of the Reykjanes Peninsula, this area offers amazing views of black volcanic rocks, cliffs, and the powerful waves of the Atlantic Ocean. The Reykjanes lighthouse stands nearby, adding to the dramatic scene.
Geirfugl Sculpture: This bronze sculpture of the extinct Great Auk bird is a tribute to Iceland’s wildlife and natural history. The bird was once common in the region, and the sculpture helps remember its importance.

Gunnuhver Hot Springs: This geothermal area, filled with bubbling mud pools and steaming vents, is in the heart of the Reykjanes UNESCO Global Geopark. It’s named after a local ghost legend, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.
