This was by far the best tour of our trip! Haffi was a friendly, fun, knowledgeable guide who helped us to have an unforgettable experience. The hike was incredible, and the small group size was perfect.

He's knowledgeable and truly passionate about what he does… It was a bit tough for us to get up the volcano but Oddi was encouraging, supportive and never made us feel like we were holding the group up. The lava field hot dogs were a nice touch as well!

We had an incredible experience today on our volcano hike with Sigrún, who is an exceptionally knowledgeable and personable guide. The tour began with a visit to the 'ghost' town of Grindavík…

GOOD TO KNOW
Is the volcano erupting right now?
Eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula come and go. The hike is amazing either way: steaming craters, fresh lava fields from recent eruptions and wide views. Check the live cam and latest updates before your trip.
