Description
The Reykjanes Peninsula is more than the setting for the Blue Lagoon. Beyond the warm water lies a wild coast of lava fields, black beaches, colourful mountains and centuries-old fishing history.
This experience uses the Blue Lagoon area as the gateway to a guided ATV ride. The trail heads across rugged volcanic ground towards Festarfjall and the Atlantic coast, giving you a much more active perspective on the peninsula.
At Selatangar, weathered ruins tell the story of an isolated fishing station that operated for generations. The combination of adventure, coastal scenery and convenient transfers makes this a memorable addition to a Reykjanes day.
