Laki Volcano Day Trip

At 9 am we'll pick you up from your selected point in Kirkjubæjarklaustur and hop on a jeep for the drive to Laki Volcano, an hour and a half away. Ready for adventure?

During the tour, we'll learn about the history of this huge volcanic rift - did you know that when it erupted 200 years ago, it changed the climate of Europe? In addition to this terrible climatic impact, the Laki volcano also took the lives of a quarter of the Icelandic population. Scary, right?

Once we arrive, we'll drive up the mountain for two and a half hours and enjoy the spectacular views of the row of craters, as well as the imposing Vatnajökull glacier. You'll be able to get some stunning pictures! Also, you'll be able to enjoy then the picnic lunch that you brought with you for this excursion.

From this point, we'll continue the tour traveling to the Tjarnargígur crater. We'll walk around it and reach the lake that has formed inside. And another place we'll visit is the hidden waterfall of Fagrifoss. Here we'll hike through its narrow gorge - the perfect finishing touch to the day trip!

Lastly, we'll get back on the jeep and head back to Kirkjubæjarklaustur, finishing the activity after 9 hours from the pick up time.
