Christa Larwood, producer and presenter for The Travel Show on the BBC News Channel, hiked with us to Fagradalsfjall Volcano.
On this half-day expedition tour, our guides, Hulda and Marco, showed the magic of this unique event, including views of the newly formed crater and the lava field.
The show featured our signature Volcanic Reykjanes Peninsula Tour.
This private tour to the Fagradalsfjall volcano & the smokey lava valley is suitable for everyone, including seniors or families with small kids.
It's a custom hiking experience with your private guide to the newest volcano eruption in Reykjanes Peninsula. You will have complete control of the pace, and nobody will rush you during the tour.
You can select to be picked up at your accommodation, or self-drive to our meeting point. Both options are available to book using our booking engine.
The guide will choose the type of hike based on the weather conditions and your fitness level to ensure a tailor-made excursion.
We will visit the volcano area, walk along the newly formed lava, get closer to the volcanic crater and the smokey valley (weather dependant).
This private tour is ideal for photographers and drone operators who need assistance with the location.
The Estonian TV show Kolm Naist Karavanis (3 women in a caravan) featured our private tour to Fagradalsfjall volcano.
The show has been #2 in the most viewed TV shows on the Estonia chart.
Our guide Ragga accompanied the team, who had a blast around the lava field and visible smokey valley from the last eruption.
