Dalaleið trail

Explore the lesser-known Dalaleið trail in the Reykjanes Peninsula, a region recently brought to fame by volcanic activity but still largely untouched by mass tourism. This trail leads through remote valleys and lava plains, with stunning views of the peninsula’s alien-like terrain. You’ll discover geothermal vents, colorful rhyolite hills, and vast silence only broken by the wind. Ideal for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure close to Reykjavík.

You will be picked up at your accommodation in Reykjavík and driven to the starting point of the hike. Along the way, your guide will share stories about the volcanic terrain and recent eruptions in the area. Midway through the hike, you will stop to enjoy a traditional Icelandic picnic in nature, taking in the wild and quiet surroundings. After completing the trail, youll be driven back to your accommodation.

Optional add-on: Treat yourself to a visit to the Sky Lagoon, where you can wash off the trail dust and unwind in soothing geothermal waters with ocean views before heading back to the city. This tour is perfect for those who want a unique, full-day nature experience with a blend of solitude, geology, and Icelandic hospitality.
