Reykjavík: Volcanos & Blue Lagoon Self-Guided Driving Tour

Start by downloading the Action Tour Guide app, which will function as your personal tour guide, audio tour, and map. Purchase one tour per car, not per person. Everyone listens together!

Your tour begins near the monumental Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where tectonic plates meet. After cruising through the quaint village of Hafnir, you’ll reach the dramatic Hafnarberg Sea Cliffs, a photographer's delight.

Continue on to the Bridge Between Continents, which is exactly what it sounds like! Then check out one of Iceland’s iconic black sand beaches at Sandvík. Feel the Earth's power at Gunnuhver Hot Springs and then turn back the clock at the historic Reykjanes Lighthouse, which has guided mariners since the 19th century.

Next, make sure you’ve made a reservation to visit the famous Blue Lagoon! Here, your tour will illuminate why these hot springs are so special and direct you straight to them so you can take a dip.

After that, you’ll uncover even more Iceland history, from infamous pirate attacks to devastating volcanic eruptions. Then you’ll actually see a volcano up close: Fagradalsfjall. Embark on a rugged hike on the Stóri hrútur trail, or just cruise through the historic fishing outpost of Selatangar.

Then, stop by the Krísuvíkurberg Cliffs to marvel at the views. The ancient Eldborg crater awaits ahead, followed by the geothermal area of Krýsuvík. Finally, you’ll arrive at the Seltún Geothermal Area, where steaming hot springs mark the finish line of your tour.

No visit to Iceland is complete without a journey around this famous peninsula!
