Reykjanes Peninsula

The Reykjanes Peninsula running along the Mid-Atlantic Rift in the southwest corner of Iceland is full of amazing and breathtaking landscapes. The land in the region with different formations emerging from the moss-covered lava fields makes it a truly unique destination.

The region is said to be very active volcanically and tourists are advised to be cautious during the trip. There are multiple tours available to explore this unique place where you can go hiking in the lava fields, visit volcanic craters, see hot springs and bubbling mud pools and even explore the underground areas. A private tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula will ideally include a visit to the town of Grindavik, which is a typical fishing village in Iceland and Grindavik, renowned for the Icelandic Salted Cod Museum (Saltfisksetrid). Do not miss the fissure where the Eurasian and American tectonic plates are moving apart due to underground pressure. If you are interested in birdwatching, you can discover the native bird life at Reykjanesviti, which is the country's oldest lighthouse.
