Visiting Grindavík to see the most fresh lava fields in Iceland from the recent volcanic eruptions, is an exciting experience!

Grindavík is a magical town in southwestern Iceland, known for its proximity to the airport, the Blue Lagoon and beautiful landscapes. The area is rich in hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles, which are evidence of the underlying volcanic systems. A part of the tour is seeing how the new lava has run over houses and the new crevasses and cracks in the town along with a local lunch at the charming harbor.

Grindavík is a charming town located in an area that has experienced volcanic activity historically and is currently considered volcanically active. Grindavík is known for its proximity to the Blue Lagoon and beautiful landscapes on the Reykjanes peninsula. The first eruptions in the area began about 800 years ago and the most recent just a few weeks ago!

From 2021 up until this day, there have been a series of volcanic eruptions in the region, which have posed risks to the village’s residents and infrastructure.. Grindavík was evacuated in November 2023 but is now open to everyone again and we want to show you up close how us Icelanders live in very close relationship with our nature and how volcanic activity is a part of our everyday lives.

If you are into hiking it’s easy to explore local walking paths and geothermal areas on foot. The stark contrast of the black lava against the surrounding landscape creates stunning photographic opportunities.

Let us guide you to the best and safest places to enjoy the lava and see the effect of mother nature first hand on the lives of Icelanders.
