Askja Volcano Day Trip

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

During the journey through Iceland's landscapes, you’ll make several stops to stretch your legs, eat, and enjoy the views. After approximately three to four hours of driving, you’ll arrive at the Askja Volcano.

You will have around two and a half hours to explore the area around the Askja Caldera at your own pace. You can take photos, relax in the mountain air, or, if you choose, follow a 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 water temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.

Following a brief stop in Drekagil, your Askja Volcano tour will conclude, and you will be dropped back off at your original departure point in Reykjahlíð.
