+26 photos
Escape the city and journey through one of Iceland’s most geologically fascinating regions on this **private day tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula**. Just a short drive from Reykjavík, this tour combines dramatic coastal views, volcanic landscapes, geothermal wonders, and rich cultural history — all from the comfort of a private vehicle with a dedicated local guide.
Your adventure begins with a stop at the **B-24 Memorial**, honoring the crew of a WWII aircraft that crashed nearby, followed by a stop at the **historic Garðskagaviti lighthouse.** Continue to the charming **Hvalsneskirkja**, a beautifully preserved stone church with deep local roots.
Next, walk across two continents at the **Bridge Between Continents**, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates drift apart — a true geological wonder. Take in sweeping ocean views at the **Reykjanes Lighthouse** and the dramatic cliffs of **Valahnúkur**, before heading to the bubbling mud pools of **Gunnuhver Hot Spring.**.
Marvel at the natural lava rock pool **Brimketill**, perched at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, where folklore and nature collide. Then, enjoy a **photo stop at the Blue Lagoon** — one of Iceland’s most iconic locations — and capture the surreal beauty of the **new lava field** formed by recent volcanic eruptions nearby.
This **private tour** offers a flexible schedule, personalized attention, and the freedom to explore at your own pace. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, photographer, or first-time visitor, it’s the perfect way to experience the dramatic landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula — without the crowds.
