5 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

The peninsula everyone flies over and no one explores. Hundreds of thousands of travellers pass through the Reykjanes Peninsula every year. This tour is built for the ones who want to actually stop.

The Bridge Between Continents marks the only place on earth where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes fully above sea level - you can stand with one foot on the North American plate and one on the Eurasian.

Starts from KEF Airport - use your arrival or departure day. No need to go to Reykjavik first.

Eldey - the island where the great auk went extinct. Visible from the Reykjanes coast, this sheer offshore rock is now home to one of the world's largest gannet colonies. The story your guide tells here is one of the most extraordinary in Icelandic natural history.

Gunnuhver - Iceland's largest geothermal hot spring field. Boiling mud, venting fumaroles, and mineral colour unlike anywhere else on the peninsula.

Entirely private - no shared passengers. Your guide and vehicle for the full day.
