Iceland Itinerary
We will meet at our hotel at 11:00 AM. We will then take a private Taxi to the Blue Lagoon. The Sky Lagoon is not just a pool, the Sky Lagoon is more like a spa. You will get a famous silica mud mask that will make your skin feel amazing. You can order a massage (Extra Charge), in the water, so it feels like you are floating in thin air and there is both a sauna and a steam bath.
There is a built in bar in the water so you won’t even have to get out to get a drink and it’s all just charged to the bracelet that you get upon entrance that is actually also your locker key, so convenient!
There is a relaxing area for those who look to catch a break from the warmth, quite popular for those looking to fix a hangover or are feeling jet-lagged. They have an amazing shop with souvenirs and all the Sky Lagoon products along with Icelandic design clothing and jewelry. Really, you can spend all day at the Sky Lagoon and not a moment will feel wasted.

We will hike up to Geldingadalir to see an active volcano.This once-in-a-lifetime experience to see an active volcanic eruption. This truly is an experience that you will never forget!
After thousands of earthquakes over the span of 3 weeks originating in the Reykjanes Peninsula, the lava finally found its way through earth crust on the evening of March 19th close to Fagradalsfjall, in a valley named Geldingadalir. The eruption is confined to this valley, which is surrounded by hills and higher ground, preventing the lava from flowing to nearby towns or cities.
Geldingadalir valley is not a remote valley by any measures. It is a mere 9 kilometres from the nearest village, Grindavík. This makes the eruption site very accessible to people that are willing to make the effort of the hike to witness this magnificent spectacle of nature. If anything should be on your bucket list, it is to experience a live volcano, where you will truly see new land forming.
Streams of lava flow from the volcanic cone and into the valley, slowly but surely filling it up, you will see steam and gases rise from the growing lava field as well as the newly formed crater.
Today’s activity may change due to the condition of the volcano.
Sadly it is time to go home. Depending on your flight you can have a free day to explore the city as most flights headed to the east coast leave in the late afternoon or you can join us at the Blue Lagoon for one last Iceland soak. (Clients are responsible for storing their luggage at The Blue Lagoon. We have included private taxi transfers from Blue Lagoon to the airport)
