Kerið Crater

Kerið Crater is a part of the larger Western Volcanic Zone - it was formed around 3,000 years ago during a volcanic eruption, leaving behind a massive caldera with a depth of about 55 meters (180 feet) and a diameter of approximately 270 meters (890 feet).

What makes Kerið so unique and captivating is the vivid colors of the rocks and surrounding vegetation. The slopes of the crater display vibrant shades of red, russet, and deep browns, creating a picturesque contrast against the azure blue water that has collected at the bottom. The changing colors of the surrounding vegetation throughout the seasons further accentuate the ever-evolving nature of this unique geological site.

Kerið is also home to a rich ecosystem, with various plant species finding a niche within its volcanic walls. Mosses, lichens, and hardy grasses cling to the rocks, creating a burst of green amidst the barren, rocky landscape.

Visitors to Kerið can walk around the crater's perimeter, marveling at the picturesque scenery from various viewpoints.

The Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal SPA in southwestern Iceland. It is located in a lava field 5 km from Grindavík and in front of Mount Þorbjörn on the Reykjanes Peninsula, in a place favorable for geothermal power, and is supplied by water used in the nearby Svartsengi Geothermal Power Station.

Named one of 25 wonders of the world by National Geographic in 2012, the Blue Lagoon was honored for its unique geothermal seawater. Found nowhere else on earth, this renowned resource is rich in silica, algae, and minerals - the elements that give the lagoon its skin-nourishing powers.

With a sauna, steam room, steam cave, mask bar, massage waterfall, and an in-water beverage bar, the lagoon is rich with possibilities for a uniquely unforgettable adventure.

End of Tour

As we bid farewell at your hotel doorstep, cherish the memories of our journey together.

We hope our shared laughs, stories, and discoveries stay etched in your Icelandic adventure.

For the rest of your stay, dive deeper into Iceland's wonders—chase waterfalls, savor local bites, and chase those midnight sunsets.

And when you return, we'll be here, eager to create more unforgettable moments.

Safe travels, explore boldly, and until we meet again in this land of fire and ice!
