Go beyond the textbook and learn all about Iceland's volcanic heart. Come face-to-face with Iceland’s geothermal underground, the same steam that heats our pools and spas, that generates much of our power, and from time to time erupts in magnificent flows of lava and ash.
Tour the volcanic fields of Reykjanes, soak in the naturally heated waters of the Blue Lagoon, and hike around geothermal areas as steam clouds blow over you. You’ll visit power plants, greenhouses and Hveragerði town, all of which are mainly powered by geothermal energy. Take a look at the science behind an eruption at the Hvolsvöllur Lava Exhibitions and the Lava show in Vík.
Highlight of highlights is our 2 night excursion to the Vestmannaeyjar Isles. The “Westman Isles” became international news when resident volcano Eldfell erupted in 1973, during which all of the inhabitants were evacuated and 400 buildings were destroyed.
Top your volcanic adventure off with a day exploring Þríhnúkagígur, the only place on Earth you can venture into the heart of a magma chamber.
