Activity description

Discover an astonishing site in Iceland and bathe in the warm waters in the open air during a private hike in the Reykjadalur valley!

A private experience with a local guide who knows the region like the back of his hand, this hike in the Reykjadalur valley (which literally means steam/smokey valley) will give you a few hours of walking and relaxation in the company of your loved ones. With its magnificent natural landscapes and warm rivers, the Reykjadalur valley is known for its geothermal zones, which your guide will be delighted to show you.

After a walk through some lush green hills, you will come to a valley with a winding river where you can take a dip in water ranging from 36 to 40°C. Whether in summer or winter, swimming in this river is a great way to take a break from hiking in the Reykjadalur valley!

With the advantage of having a guide to introduce you to the site and take you there directly from Reykjavík, this private excursion to the Reykjadalur valley is the ideal way to discover this area without needing to rent a vehicle!
