Volcano Tours

Volcano Tours specialises in all kinds of exciting jeep tours around the Icelandic volcanic landscapes. With years of experience and lots of happy customers, Volcano Tours will introduce you to the volcanos of South Iceland and the unique landscape created by them.

You will not be travelling in a crowded bus, but a comfortable super jeep that sit max 5 persons at the time, which means the tour is very personal in terms of what you can see, where you stop and for how long. The guides have years of experience and are full of knowledge about the areas and can even take you to wonderful spots to take photos and you can get much closer to the sights than if you were travelling on a bus or a car.

Their jeeps could not be better equipped, making it possible to reach destinations that are impassable for regular vehicles and are able to take you places that you wouldn’t see otherwise. Travelling on such highland jeeps is an experience in itself making the tours not only interesting in terms of nature but also a fun adventure.

Expect to see lava fields, geothermal areas, sheep, the Icelandic horses, lakes, waterfalls. You can even go caving in a lava tube where Volcanic Tours provide you with necessary equipment. Some other highlights you can experience with Volcano Tours are the geothermal power station, the hot springs at Krysuvík and not to mention enjoying some home-baked goods with some tea and coffee at their base, the old flag house at Grindavík.

Volcano Tours are based in Grindavík on the Reykjanes peninsula but they operate tours from all of the South coast of Iceland and are able to pick you up anywhere in the Reykjavik capital area for the tour.

WE RECOMMEND:The 2 in 1 luxury jeep tour

This tour introduces you to all the volcanic highlights on the South Coast. The tour is actually two tours, merged into one adventure. You will drive from Reykjavík to the recently erupted Eyjafjallajokull and see the effects of the eruption along with other great sights in the surrounding. One the way back, you’ll get to experience the famous Golden Circle, visiting the Golden waterfall of Gullfoss, Geysir and the national park of Thingvellir. It is a long day tour, taking 10-12 hours and worth every minute!
