Active Volcano Hike & Blue Lagoon Tour

Such a unique experience! The hike was somewhere between easy and moderate, depending on your activity level. There were parts that were steeper, but they are relatively short. Our group had a range of ages and activity levels, and everyone was able to complete the whole thing. Proper footwear is a must and especially a shoe with ankle support if possible. Hler was an excellent guide!!! It is clear how much he loves his job and that makes it so fun to listen to him. I learned a lot about the volcano and about Iceland more generally. The blue lagoon after was really nice after a morning of hiking!

The experience was great. A journey that you will never regret after coming, especially the volcano trekking part. Guide Vjeran takes care of everyone in the team and is funny and introduces all kinds of volcano-related knowledge along the way. Follow him on an unforgettable journey.

It was a really fun trip. The driver( VJERAN )was really nice and enthusiastic. I’m really enjoying the trip and the places we’re visiting, and he made sure to keep both groups on track during our volcano hike（almost 3 hours )

We had a great day hiking up to the new lava fields, even though the volcano was not erupting. Dress in warm, sturdy clothes and have rain gear/hiking boots or trail sneakers (no slip on Birks etc!). Our hike wasn’t windy but it did rain and I was glad to have an umbrella and poncho. Our guide set a quick pace up the mountain so we could enjoy more time at the lava fields, but this would be a struggle for anyone who is not particularly active. The lava fields were incredible and we saw steam rising from vents and felt the warmth emanating from the ground. Truly amazing! We ate lunch in nearby Grindavik (which was almost destroyed by a lava flow a few years ago; only 100 of the original 3000 residents have returned.) After our vigilance hike, a trip to the Blue Lagoon spa offered a much needed rest. It was quite busy but our guide quickly checked us in for a 2.5 hour visit. This was a good amount of time to relax in the milky blue waters, enjoy an included non-alcoholic drink, and take lots of pictures. I had brought a waterproof phone pouch from home and was very glad to have it since the ones for sale at the spa were quite expensive. If you don’t have a waterproof pouch I wouldn’t take your phone into the lagoon! Also, we were cautioned not to wet our hair, wear jewelry, rx or expensive glasses in the lagoon since the minerals could damage them. I really enjoyed this trip and would recommend it to anyone who is ready for a tough hike and some relaxation afterwards!

It was an amazing trip combining some easy hike (1,5h one way, 1h back) to viewpoints of the recent volcano eruption sites, Seltún hot spring, Grindavik, and around 3h in the Blue Lagoon. We started around 8am and ended around 17:00 in Reykjavik. Our driver and guide Vjeran did a wonderful job, beyond and above his roles. He even made extra stops (Grindavik) as we had extra time after the hike, and shared detailed knowledge of the sites e.g. history, geology, recent events etc. Vjeran is such a witty, personable and knowledgeable guide that made our trip extra memorable.
