Reykjanes Peninsula is a geologically fascinating part of Iceland where the two tectonic plates meet, so it is a seismically and volcanically active region. Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted here in 2021, and many earthquakes are recorded daily as the area is more volcanic active again. Besides that, Reykjanes Peninsula abounds in other exciting attractions like geothermal areas, gorgeous cliffs, and more.
The Blue Lagoon geothermal SPA, one of National Geographic’s 25 wonders of the world, is also located on the Peninsula, only 50 kilometers from Reykjavik. Relaxing there is an unforgettable experience and a must-do in Iceland.
Tourists usually take short stops around the Peninsula on their way back to Keflavik Airport. Still, this area is worth visiting as a minimum one-day tour, so check our tour and excursion options below!
