Gardur
1
Gardur
Stop: 30 minutes
Located at the northern tip of the Reykjanes Peninsula, the lighthouses of Garður are a striking symbol of Iceland’s coastal heritage. The site features two historic lighthouses standing just a short distance apart.
The surrounding area is known for its rugged shoreline, abundant birdlife, and sweeping views over the North Atlantic. It’s a peaceful and atmospheric place to stroll, especially during sunrise or sunset, when the light plays beautifully on the sea and the lighthouse towers. Visitors can explore the grounds, learn about local fishing traditions, and soak in the quiet beauty of this windswept corner of Iceland. Whether you're interested in photography, maritime history, or simply enjoying the coastal scenery, the lighthouses of Garður make for a memorable stop.

Bridge Between Continents
Stop: 30 minutes
The Bridge Between the Continents is a fascinating geological and symbolic landmark located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. This small footbridge spans a dramatic fissure in the Earth’s crust, allowing you to literally walk from one continent to another in just a few steps. The surrounding landscape is stark and surreal—black volcanic sands, jagged lava fields, and the ever-present reminder that Iceland sits atop one of the world’s most active geological boundaries.
A visit to the bridge is both educational and awe-inspiring. Informational signs explain the tectonic forces at work and the ongoing geological activity shaping Iceland’s terrain. Visitors are often struck by the scale and silence of the rift, which serves as a powerful reminder of Earth’s dynamic nature. Whether you're a geology enthusiast or simply curious, standing between two continents is a unique experience you won’t forget.
3
Stampar
Stop: 30 minutes
Stampar consists of two craters formed around 2000 years ago on the western Reykjanes Peninsula. This area is strikingly barren, with vast stretches of dark, black volcanic rocks creating a surreal, moon-like landscape.
Climbing to the top of the craters rewards you with panoramic views of this dramatic terrain, showcasing the raw beauty of Iceland’s volcanic origin. It’s a mesmerizing spot that offers a unique glimpse into the island’s geological past and is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and photographers.

Reykjanes Lighthouse
Stop: 30 minutes
5
Gunnuhver Hot Springs
Stop: 30 minutes
Gunnuhver is one of the most powerful geothermal hot springs in Iceland, known for its immense size and intensity. Even from the parking lot, you can hear the roaring steam vents. As you approach, you’ll find yourself enveloped in a massive cloud of steam, feeling the heat and smelling the sulfur in the air.
Amidst this otherworldly landscape, your guide will share the eerie legend of Gunnuhver, named after a ghost believed to be trapped within the boiling spring. This captivating tale adds a mystical touch to the already surreal experience.
6
Fagradalsfjall Volcano
Stop: 50 minutes
In March 2021, Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted, marking the start of a new volcanic cycle in Iceland. This eruption lasted six months, dramatically reshaping the landscape. Today, the lava field remains active, still steaming with heat from deep within the earth.
During the visit, you’ll walk to the edge of this freshly formed lava field, where the rugged, black rocks showcase the power of volcanic activity. It’s a unique opportunity to witness a newly born land and experience Iceland’s dynamic geological forces up close.

Seltún
Stop: 30 minutes

Sky Lagoon
Stop: 2 hours
Step into serenity just minutes from downtown Reykjavík with the Sky Lagoon Pure pass, Iceland’s breathtaking new geothermal spa. Carved into a dramatic stretch of the Atlantic coastline, this immersive retreat blends ancient bathing traditions with contemporary Icelandic design.
A Tranquil World Just Beyond the City
Though only a short drive from Reykjavík, Sky Lagoon feels like another world—one shaped by sea, sky, and geothermal power. This natural oasis pays tribute to Iceland’s age-old bathing rituals, offering a moment of calm in a setting that’s both wild and beautiful.
