About this experience

The Krafla area is one of the most interesting areas by Lake Mývatn. This is where the tectonic plates meet and is therefore a hotbed of seismic activity. There you can see: Red, black, grey, blue and white lava. A beautiful geothermal area. A great variety of interesting rare geothermal phenomena. Access to the Krafla area is easy in the summertime but can be difficult and even dangerous in other seasons due to snow- and weather conditions. Never the less in team Geo Travel´s opinion the Krafla area is never as beautiful as when snow has covered most of the ground and you see the pink hills, black, grey and red warm lava standing out of the snow.

Description from the operator, Geo Travel. Prices and availability in the booking panel are live.

Included

Transfer to Krafla and Guide. Geo Travel will bring spikes for your shoes (if it is slippery), snowshoes (if the snow conditions are difficult) and other safety equipment.

Good to know

Bring warm clothes, waterproof jacket and pants, sunglasses, good hiking shoes/boots, snacks and drinking water.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until departure. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper Hvanneyrarskál Walking Tour from Sóti Summits is €51 — €169 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

	Geo Travel · €219	Sóti Summits · €51
How long it runs	4 hours	2 hours
Getting there	Picks you up	You make your own way
Changing your mind	Free until departure	Free until 24 h before
How hard it is	Moderate	Easy

The €169 buys you 2 more hours out and hotel pickup. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.

Rúna was an outstanding tour guide. He brought incredible energy, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude from start to finish. It was a very long day, but his engaging commentary and great sense of humor made the time fly by. He confidently navigated some truly adventurous conditions, including river crossings and driving through snow, all while making us feel safe and comfortable. Along the way, he shared fascinating stories about Icelandic history, geology, and culture that made every stop even more meaningful. This was an unforgettable experience, and Rúna played a huge part in making it so memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland.

The Lofthellir ice cave tour was exceptional and includes a hike across a lava field before going into the cave. Our guide Anton is local and was incredibly knowledgeable about the geology and formations as well as the ecosystem. This is one of my favorite things I’ve done in Iceland.

We had a great time on our buggy ATV tour with Alejandro this morning! We enjoyed the buggy instruction, exciting tour, and interesting lessons about Icelandic geology. We already know this will be one of the highlights of our already eventful vacation to Iceland. Highly recommend!!
