“Walk the bridge between Europe and America”

Reykjanes Peninsula is an exciting area on the margin of the Eurasian and North American plates, located directly on the Mid-Atlantic ridge. It’s a mysterious and breathtaking area of rugged and harsh treeless volcanic landscapes which often makes first time visitors to Iceland think they have landed on the moon.  Being situated on the margin of the two tectonic plates the area gives a good idea of how Iceland is being torn apart by the forces beneath our feet and evidence such as volcanic rock, lava, fissures and gorges will be around us most of the day.

By keeping the group size small we are able to keep the itinerary flexible, depending on client’s requests and preferences, the weather and the time of year.

The birdlife that inhabits the Reykjanes Peninsula is quite spectacular. Species such as Harlequin Duck, Great Northern Diver, Horned Grebe, Northern Gannet, Great Cormorant, Kittiwake, Arctic Tern three species of guillemots and Razorbill are among those that might be seen during the day. Other wildlife species such as Harbor and Grey seals, White-beaked Dolphins and Minke Whales are also common in the area and we will make an effort to see them from land.  

A fantastic tour with a great combination of breathtaking nature and interesting wildlife!
