Itinerary
When you arrive in Iceland at Keflavik Airport, your private driver will greet you at the arrival hall and take you to the Blue Lagoon. Where you will have access to the Retreat Spa and soak in geothermal waters. There is a restaurant in the Spa if you want to have a light meal. You can stay up to five hours in the Spa. After enjoying the Blue Lagoon your private driver will take you to your hotel in Reykjavik.
Start the day by taking a one-hour horseback riding tour right outside of Reykjavik before heading to the amazing Reykjanes Peninsula to enjoy a hike to the volcanic eruption site. The Land of Fire and Ice is once again living up to its name! One of the last eruptions in Geldingadalur valley, just south of Fagradalsfjall volcano, left gleaming lava which can be found running in molten rivers and spurting in spectacular jets. The hike will take approximately 1 – 2 hours each way, depending on how close you want to get, and the trail is conveniently marked. This is an ideal hike if the weather conditions are good. This is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience and should not be missed!
