★★★★★

The volcanic landscapes were stunning and truly inspiring for me as an artist, it felt like walking through a living painting. Our guide Gudni was fantastic.

★★★★★

Amazing experience, we totally loved it. Definitely recommend doing this with a guide because then you get to hike on the actual lava field which was insane.

OUR STORY

During the 2021–2025 eruptions

We started guiding one week after the first eruption in 2021 and led guests through every phase since. There is no active eruption right now: today's hike explores the new lava fields, craters and steaming ground those eruptions left behind.

FAQ

Volcano tour FAQ

  • It's a moderate guided hike of about 8 km with about 300 m of elevation gain, across fresh lava fields and craters. The total time depends on the group's pace and the route of the day. A normal fitness level and good hiking boots are enough.

  • Not at the moment, but the Reykjanes Peninsula is still geologically active and the ground keeps changing. Eruptions and flowing lava are never guaranteed, and our guides follow the official updates every day.

  • Iceland has 32 active volcanic systems, according to the Icelandic Met Office. Active means a system can erupt again, not that lava is flowing today. The most recent eruptions were on the Reykjanes Peninsula, with 12 eruptions between 2021 and 2025, and our hike takes you through these fresh lava fields.
