Reykjavik, Iceland, Europe
$169
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after

Overview
This is not a bus tour or a quick photo stop. It’s a real hike to Iceland’s most active eruption zone: Fagradalsfjall, where new lava flowed as recently as July 2025.
This experience takes you into one of Iceland’s newest volcanic regions, led by local guides who have followed the eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula since the first lava appeared in 2021.
Hike across wide lava fields, observe steaming ground and crater formations, and learn how repeated eruptions have transformed this part of southwest Iceland. The tour also includes visits beyond the volcano itself, giving you a deeper understanding of the area and its recent history.
Along the way, we stop in the evacuated fishing town of Grindavík and explore the surrounding sites.
✔️ Local guides with first-hand knowledge of the eruption area
✔️ Stops that show the wider volcanic landscape of Reykjanes
✔️ Small-group for the best possible experience
✔️ Relaxed pace so you can explore, ask questions, and enjoy the surroundings
