Explore the natural wonders of Reykjavik on a private tour. Discover the lava fields of Leitarhraun, the Rauðhólar hills, and the Elliðaárvirkjun hydroelectric plant. Admire the Grótta lighthouse and the beach of Reykjavik.
Start your tour with a pickup from your hotel in Reykjavik. Head to the east of the city to explore the Rauðhólar hills and the lava field of Leitarhraun. Admire the lava that flows into the well-known Salmon River Elliðaá.
Next, visit the Ellidaarvirkjun. See the first hydroelectric plant in Iceland supplying electricity to Reykjavik with 4 generators from Sweden. And how they manage to protect the Salmon in the river on the same time.
We have a look at the first geothermal water pump station in Reykjavik, established in 1930. And the washing pools, and the benefits for the residence to have accessibility to hot water for free.
On our way west we have a look at the geothermal beach in Fossvogur, and Grótta lighthouse.

We took a 4 hour tour of the city. We asked our host to show us what he found most interesting to visit. In response, he gave us a tour of the parks around the city and how geology shaped its history and development. This included a visit to the original hydroelectric power station which is now a museum. Our guide was particularly knowledgeable about the ship harbor and we learned a great deal about how seafood is handled and processed. Very well done!
