Seltún, located in the Krýsuvík geothermal area on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, offers a captivating glimpse into the Earth's geothermal activity. The site features bubbling mud pools, steaming fumaroles, and vibrant earth colors, thanks to the minerals brought to the surface. Wooden boardwalks allow visitors to safely explore the area, getting close to these geothermal phenomena. The fumaroles emit steam and sulfur gases, creating a distinctive, otherworldly landscape. The mud pots, constantly churning and bubbling, vary in color from grey to black, contrasting with the vivid reds, yellows, and greens of the surrounding earth. These colours result from the oxidation of minerals like sulphur and iron.

2 verified traveler reviews for Private Guided Volcano Hike Iceland. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Once in a lifetime experience! Highly recommend EV Travel!
The tour day began with a stop at the Krýsuvik geothermal pools, which were interesting--but the real joy was the hike up to the volcanic site of Fagradalsfjall. This hike was INCREDIBLE!!!! Not only did we have the best guide ever (Thanks, Thomas W.!), but we saw one of the most spectacular sights on our entire trip. The timing of this hike was uncanny--we were able to see steam from the latest eruption, just hours before it erupted. And despite 50mph winds and gusts that felt like we would blow off the crater and ridge, we manage to accomplish a hike that was unlike any other we have ever taken in our lives. Thankfully, Thomas supplied walking sticks to those who desired them and even went above and beyond and took the arm of one of our group so that she felt steadier and less afraid of those brutal wind gusts. Thomas knows all things volcanic and was full of fun facts and interesting information. Thomas took such good care of us and we fell in with him like we had been friends for years. I highly recommend his company and if you are lucky you will get him as a guide, too.

Above and beyond Expectations!
Thomas Warner (CEO of EV Travel) went above and beyond to make our trip special. Not only did he arrange for a wonderful guide (Vala), but he took care of every detail including transfers and updates on weather issues. I would highly recommend using this company (and working with Thomas) for any and all Iceland adventures.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Guided Volcano Hike Iceland: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Private Guided Volcano Hike Iceland cost?
+
Prices start at $1169 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Guided Volcano Hike Iceland take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Private Guided Volcano Hike Iceland worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Guided Volcano Hike Iceland?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Guided Volcano Hike Iceland suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Guided Volcano Hike Iceland?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Guided Volcano Hike Iceland start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
