Activity description

Get the experience of a lifetime and witness an active volcanic eruption and molten lava!

Our guide will pick you up in Reykjavik and then you will head out for your once-in-a-lifetime experience. The beautiful hike up to Geldingadalur Valley takes about 2 hours, while you enjoy unbelievable views of old lava fields.

Once you’re at the site of the volcano, you will witness how those lava fields were formed, as you can see new lava spewing and flowing.

While you will get to spend some time by this natural wonder, we will also find a good and safe spot to enjoy the Icelandic chocolate, hraun – which stands for “lava”. If you feel like you might need a bit more than this on the hike, we urge you to bring some lunch.

Special terms

We will always follow the Icelandic Rescue Team instructions on the best route to take every day to avoid the fumes according to the wind direction.

Pick-up is from designated locations in Reykjavík. Pick-up is not available from Keflavik airport or outside of the greater capital area.
