Your Tour Itinerary

Here are the details of your upcoming tour. Click on the names to read more about each attraction you’re going to visit with us. Please note that stops may vary depending on your cruise ship’s schedule.

Kleifarvatn Lake

Kleifarvatn is a hauntingly beautiful lake, tucked within a volcanic fissure zone and surrounded by stark, black volcanic cliffs. It’s one of the largest lakes on the Reykjanes Peninsula and has no visible rivers flowing in or out, which only adds to its mysterious charm. The shoreline is rugged and raw, often visited by arctic birds and occasionally shrouded in fog, creating perfect reflections. This is a peaceful, almost meditative stop that captures Iceland’s quiet volcanic soul.

Seltún Geothermal Area

Nestled within the Krýsuvík geothermal system, Seltún is one of Reykjanes’ most vibrant and active hot spring zones. Wooden boardwalks lead you safely through bubbling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and vividly colored sulfuric hills. The intense smell of sulfur and the constant hissing of the earth give this place an otherworldly atmosphere. It’s a photographer’s dream, especially on a misty morning when the rising steam adds a mystical touch.

Fagradalsfjall old eruption hike

The Reykjanes Peninsula erupted back to life in 2021 with the eruption of Fagradalsfjall—an event that captured the world’s attention. Since then, multiple eruptions have reshaped the landscape with fresh lava fields and craters. If trail conditions and weather permit, a hike to this site offers a rare chance to walk alongside recent volcanic activity. It’s a humbling and powerful experience to stand on newly created Earth, with steam and heat still rising from the cooled lava.

Krísuvíkurberg Cliffs

Towering up to 40 meters above the Atlantic, Krísuvíkurberg is one of southwest Iceland’s largest bird cliffs. In summer, thousands of seabirds nest here, while powerful waves crash against the dramatic volcanic coastline—offering breathtaking views and a true sense of Iceland’s wild nature.

Bridge Between Continents

The Bridge Between Continents is a symbolic footbridge that spans a fissure created by the drifting apart of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Walking across it means quite literally stepping from one continent to another. Surrounded by black lava fields, it’s a fascinating stop that highlights Iceland’s unique position on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge—where the earth is constantly pulling itself apart.

Blue Lagoon

Located in the heart of volcanic landscape, Blue Lagoon invites you to an otherworldly experience in its prisitne clear, mineral-rich waters. Treat yourself to an unforgettable, rejuvenating and relaxing experience provided by the radiant powers of this extroardinary natural wonder. Would you miss the rare opportunity to enjoy blissful moments alone in a unique geothermal spa within the volcanic earth?
