Fantastic day, lovely guide
We had such a wonderful time on our day tour with our guide, Jen. It was refreshing to get out of the city and see the wide open Icelandic countryside. We saw so many things we never would have found in our own. Jen was professional and friendly, very knowledgeable about Iceland’s history and culture, and she happily answered all our questions, even the weird ones! We were pleased with the selection of stops, especially the Tre og List gallery and the Seltun geothermal area. Jen was very good about pointing out items of interest we could see from the car as we went, even if it wasn’t a scheduled stop. My recommendations for fellow travelers are to wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather as the sights require being outdoors and some involve a bit of walking. Get out of Reykjavik and see this beautiful country!

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reykjanes Peninsula + Lava fields: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Reykjanes Peninsula + Lava fields cost?
+
Prices start at $1,489 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 Reykjanes Peninsula + Lava fields take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Reykjanes Peninsula + Lava fields worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Reykjanes Peninsula + Lava fields?
+
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 Reykjanes Peninsula + Lava fields suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Reykjanes Peninsula + Lava fields?
+
Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reykjanes Peninsula + Lava fields 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, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. 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.
What is included in Reykjanes Peninsula + Lava fields?
+
Included: 9-16 pax - 18 seat bus; In-vehicle air conditioning; 1-4 pax - 5 seat car; 5-8 pax - 10 seat car; and Parking fees. Not included: Lunch; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Reykjanes Peninsula + Lava fields include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 72 listed pickup locations in and around Reykjavik. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Reykjanes Peninsula + Lava fields offered in?
+
It is offered in Chinese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
