Description
Shape a private 4.5-hour tour around the side of Iceland you most want to see. Explore Reykjavík's landmarks and viewpoints, head into the volcanic landscapes of Reykjanes, or combine a focused selection of both with a private driver-guide and pickup from your hotel or ship.
Why choose this private half-day tour?
Instead of following a fixed shared-tour itinerary, your group of up to eight travels at a relaxed pace on a route built around your interests. Your driver-guide helps turn the available time into a practical plan, whether your priority is Reykjavík culture, coastal and volcanic scenery, or a carefully chosen mix.
Possible Reykjavík and Reykjanes themes
In Reykjavík, your route can focus on architecture, harbour views, city viewpoints, museums and cultural landmarks. On the Reykjanes Peninsula, possible themes include dramatic coastline, geothermal landscapes, the Bridge Between Continents and viewpoints connected with recent volcanic activity, subject to access and conditions.
The Blue Lagoon can be requested as an optional addition, which is why it appears in the gallery. Admission is not included, must be arranged in advance and a bathing visit extends the standard tour duration, with extra time and costs applying. Other paid attractions, such as a lava-tunnel visit, museum or geothermal exhibition, also require advance arrangements and separate admission.
Share your priorities before departure and enjoy a private outing shaped around what interests your group most.
