Description

Drive south from the capital on this very popular Reykjavik excursion and head to Lake Kleifarvatn. Set within a volcanic fissure, this large about 100 meters deep lake is said to be home to a strange, mythical creature. The lake is eerie and surrounded by a jet black lavascape, black cliffs and black sand shores so beware!

A little further on is the geothermal area at Seltun. Here you can walk amongst hissing steam vents, solfataras and bubbling mud pots with the unmistakable smell of sulfur hanging in the air. You‘ will also be able to feel the power of Mother Nature beneath your feet as the ground seems to rumble. Continue the tour, visiting small fishing villages that dot the area before reaching the tip of the peninsula. Here you will find the roaring North Atlantic and huge bird cliffs which stand guard over moon-like, craggy lava fields.

To end this super jeep tour we have the options of visiting the Blue Lagoon, driving straight to Keflavik International Airport, or to Reykjavik city:

1) Drive to the world-famous Blue Lagoon and be amazed at the size of this pale blue run off from the nearby geothermal energy plant. You can choose to walk around and take picture, or for an additional cost, go swimming in the therapeutic, warm waters of the Blue Lagoon.
2) Drive to the airport ready for your flight home.
3) Drive to Reykjavik city.

This half day tour is also ideal for anyone who has limited time in Iceland and it is certain to whet your appetite and make you want to come back for more!
