The Reykjanes peninsula tour begins in Reykjavík or at the Keflavik airport. Our very first stop will be Kleifarvatn lake, the largest lake on the peninsula. Our second stop is the geothermal springs of Krýsuvík, located on the middle of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The fishing town of Grindavík is our next stop. Brimketill lava rock pool is next up, a little pool right on the edge of land. Next is Gunnuhver, hot spring with a boiling water and mud pools. Close by is the Reykjanes lighthouse, Iceland’s very first lighthouse, built in 1878 but destroyed by an earthquake eight years later. Right by the tower are Valahnúkar and Valahnúkamöl which are unique cliffs and rocks made out of some of the oldest lava on the peninsula. The next stop is where the European and the North American plates meet and form the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Sandvík, a beautiful beach with almost entirely black sands, is our next stop. The one and only Blue Lagoon will be our final destination.
