Explore the Day Tours capture the imagination like Iceland. Its otherworldly landscapes and mystical sagas keep travellers entranced during entire trips – and for years after. The country’s lava tubes, volcanic craters and subarctic fauna are well documented but there are also many other hidden gems to discover in this vast country of dramatic beauty.
The Reykjanes Peninsula is an excellent place to explore if you’re looking for something other than the standard Golden Circle attractions. The area is full of geothermal areas, endless lava fields, and stunning rugged coastlines like Strandarkirkja and Krysuvikurberg. This region is also home to a few natural wonders that aren’t easily accessible and require a 4 WD vehicle to visit such as Valahnukamol Cliffs, Reykjnesviti Lighthouse, and Seltun Geothermal Area.
