Askja Volcano Day Trip

On the day of your excursion, you'll meet in the morning on the banks of Myvatn Lake in Reykjahlíð, ready to embark on your adventure into the Icelandic highlands.

During the journey through the landscapes of Iceland, you'll make several stops to stretch your legs, eat, and enjoy the views. After approximately a three to four hour drive, you'll reach the Askja Volcano.

You'll have around two and a half hours to explore the area around the Askja Caldera at your own pace. You can take photos of the scenery, relax, or if you prefer, follow the short half-hour walking trail from the car park to Askja Lake and the Viti Crater. Here, you can enjoy a dip in the natural pools (weather permitting), with the hot springs maintaining temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.

After a brief stop in Drekagil, your Askja Volcano tour will conclude, and you'll be returned to your original departure point in Reykjahlíð.
