About this activity

Explore Iceland's most dramatic geological features on a 10-hour private jeep tour combining underground lava tunnels, geothermal wonders of the UNESCO-listed Reykjanes Peninsula, and the iconic Blue Lagoon. This comprehensive day trip reveals Iceland's raw volcanic landscape—from luminous rock formations to steaming geysers—with expert local commentary and flexibility for personalized stops.

From Reykjavik, we drive to Raufarhólshellir, one of the most significant lava tunnels in Iceland, where a local guide will tell us all about its spectacular colors and rock formations.

After an hour-long tour of the tunnel, we head to the beautiful Reykjanes Peninsula, home of the Reykjanes Geopark, UNESCO site and one of Iceland’s geological gems, a place rich in geothermal energy, seismic activity, and tectonic movements.

We will visit the beautiful lakes Kleifarvatn and Grænavatn, the multi-colored hills on Krýsuvík and the geothermal areas of Seltún and Gunnuhver with their hot spring and mud pools and much more.

After all the sightseeing, we will make a stop at the Blue Lagoon. Here you will have time to walk around and take pictures or enjoy a coffee in the cafe overlooking the blue pool. If you wish, you can take a relaxing bath in the warm lagoon while enjoying a drink or put some silica mask over your body. (Entrance tickets must be purchased in advance)

Highlights

  • ✓Raufarhólshellir lava tunnel: hour-long guided descent through Iceland's most impressive underground lava cave with striking mineral colours
  • ✓Reykjanes Geopark (UNESCO site): geothermal hotspots including bubbling mud pools and hot springs at Seltún and Gunnuhver
  • ✓Crater lakes Kleifarvatn and Grænavatn: striking glacial-blue waters surrounded by volcanic terrain
  • ✓Krýsuvík's multicoloured geothermal hills: otherworldly landscape shaped by tectonic and geothermal activity
  • ✓Blue Lagoon leisure time: swim, relax with a silica mud mask, or photograph the milky-turquoise waters at your own pace

Insider tips

  • ★Book Blue Lagoon entrance tickets in advance (not included) to avoid sold-out slots during peak season; budget 30–45 minutes for entry queues
  • ★Wear waterproof hiking boots for the lava tunnel—surfaces are uneven and can be slippery; the tunnel stays around 5–7°C year-round, so bring a fleece
  • ★Visit geothermal areas early in the tour before afternoon crowds; sulphur smells are strongest near Gunnuhver, so manage expectations
  • ★If skipping the Blue Lagoon dip, allow 45 minutes to walk the perimeter and photograph; the café offers good coffee and local snacks

Good to know

  • •Duration: 10 hours from central Reykjavik; early morning pickup (time to be confirmed with operator)
  • •What to bring: waterproof jacket, sturdy hiking boots, warm layers, swimwear and towel (if bathing in Blue Lagoon), sunscreen, and camera
  • •Blue Lagoon entry tickets: must be purchased separately in advance; check operator website for current pricing and availability
  • •Private jeep tour: includes driver and local expert guide; vehicle capacity typically 4–6 passengers
  • •Accessibility: lava tunnel involves climbing stairs and uneven surfaces; not suitable for those with severe mobility restrictions; geothermal areas involve walking on rocky terrain

Who it's for

Geology and nature enthusiasts seeking in-depth knowledge of Iceland's volcanic systemsPhotographers chasing dramatic landscapes, geothermal features, and the Blue Lagoon's iconic turquoise huesActive day-trippers comfortable with 4–5 hours of walking and climbing in remote areasCouples and small groups wanting a private, customizable alternative to large coach tours

Best time to visit

Visit May–September for stable weather and accessible trails, though geothermal areas are striking year-round. Early morning (7–9 a.m. pickup) minimizes crowds at the Blue Lagoon and provides better light for photography of geological formations.
