1 / 10Blue Lagoon & Reykjanes Unesco Geopark (comfort ticket to BL included) - Private Tour
About this activity
Explore Iceland's dramatic volcanic landscape on the UNESCO-designated Reykjanes Peninsula, where otherworldly lava fields, geothermal mud pools, and steaming hot springs reveal the island's raw geological power. Your 8-hour private tour concludes with a soak in the iconic Blue Lagoon's milky-blue geothermal waters.
Only a short drive from Reykjavík, one finds herself in a vast wilderness, where lava formations remain untouched and magical, holes with bubbling mud and superheated water with colors resembling colourful paintings. This tour will take you around Reykjanes Peninsula GEOPARK to look at geology, volcanology, geothermal formations, mud polls and steaming hot spring, and you will learn about the geological history of Iceland. The tour ends in the relaxing atmosphere in the Blue Lagoon.

- ★Ask your guide about the Reykjanes peninsula's 2021–2024 volcanic activity; recent eruptions have reshaped the landscape
