Private Reykjadalur Hot River Hike

Embark on a private hiking tour from Reykjavik to Reykjadalur valley, a stunning geothermal area just north of Hveragerði town. This exclusive tour offers the chance to fully immerse yourself in this remarkable region's extraordinary geothermal wonders and natural marvels.

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your location in Reykjavik, followed by a scenic drive over the lava plateau Hellisheiði, where you can enjoy majestic views of Iceland's nature. The geothermal activity in Reykjadalur and Hveragerði is rooted in an extinct volcano that was active 120,000 years ago. Glacial erosion has shaped the area, featuring mud pots, soda springs, and warm springs that warm the Reykjadalsá river.

Hveragerði, known for its geothermal activity and beautiful natural surroundings, is near Reykjadalur valley. This popular hiking destination offers geothermal hot springs and stunning landscapes to explore. The geothermal activity influences the area's vegetation, with lush wetland plant communities near hot streams and warm springs. Geothermal plant species and various heat-loving moss species can be observed, adding to the area's unique character.

The Reykjadalur valley is a popular natural bathing spot, offering a peaceful and scenic setting. Please be mindful of its sensitivity to traffic and preserve this unique area by staying on the marked trails and avoiding sensitive terrain. Upon arrival at the Reykjadalur parking lot, embark on a thrilling 1-hour hike to the bathing area in the hot river. Along the well-marked trail, you'll be captivated by the awe-inspiring vistas of geothermal hot springs and bubbling mud pools. When we reach the bathing area, you can indulge in the therapeutic hot river, allowing the warm and soothing waters to rejuvenate our body and soul.

After hiking back down, we can stop and eat at the Greenhouse Food Hall in Hveragerði, where you can enjoy delicious food and a cozy atmosphere.

This private hiking tour in Reykjadalur guarantees a personalized and intimate experience, providing an unparalleled opportunity to appreciate and marvel at the extraordinary natural wonders of Southwest Iceland. Immerse yourself in the captivating geothermal landscapes, feel the raw power of nature, and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
