Private Iceland Tour
The Hidden Side of Reykjanes
7 hours · Departs from Reykjavík or Keflavík Airport · Private group only
Another planet. One hour from Reykjavík.
The Reykjanes Peninsula is one of Iceland's most dramatic and otherworldly landscapes — and one of the most overlooked by standard tours. Ancient volcanic craters, steaming geothermal fields, dramatic sea cliffs, and hidden lava formations stretch across a landscape that feels completely untouched.
This private Iceland tour takes you deep into the Reykjanes Peninsula away from the crowds — to places most visitors drive straight past on their way to the Blue Lagoon. With Luke's local knowledge and professional photography expertise, you'll experience a side of Iceland that few travellers ever find.

Tour Highlights
Valahnúkamöl Sea Cliffs
Towering basalt cliffs and crashing Atlantic waves — one of the most dramatic coastal landscapes in Iceland and almost always crowd-free.
Lake Kleifarvatn
Iceland's deepest lake, surrounded by hauntingly beautiful volcanic terrain. Mysterious, remote, and almost always empty of other tourists.
Reykjanesviti Lighthouse
The oldest lighthouse in Iceland, perched above the ocean with panoramic views across the peninsula. Rich in local history and folklore.
Krýsuvík Geothermal Area
Colourful hot springs and active geothermal zones — a photographer's dream and a fascinating glimpse into Iceland's volcanic activity up close.
Brimketill Lava Rock Pool
A natural lava pool carved by the ocean at the edge of the peninsula — one of Reykjanes' best hidden spots and a favourite photography location.
Hidden Lava Fields & Secret Locations
Off-the-map locations known only to locals — the kind of hidden Iceland spots that never appear in guidebooks or standard tour itineraries.
Gunnuhver Geothermal Area
Steaming vents, vivid colours and eerie local folklore make this one of Iceland's most atmospheric geothermal locations — and one of the least visited.
Photography on This Tour
The Reykjanes Peninsula is one of Iceland's finest photography destinations — dramatic contrasts of black lava, turquoise geothermal pools, ocean spray and volcanic steam create extraordinary images at every stop.
Whether you're joining an Iceland photography tour with a professional camera or capturing memories on your phone, every location on this route is chosen with the best light and composition in mind. Professional photography guidance is included throughout — this is not just a tour, it's an experience designed for travellers who want to come home with images that tell a real story.
