Askja Volcano Day Trip

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

Throughout the journey, there will be several stops for leg stretching and food. After a three to four hour drive, you'll reach the Askja Volcano.

You will have approximately 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 follow a short half hour walking trail from the car park to Askja Lake and the Viti Crater. You will have the opportunity to enjoy a dip in the natural pools (weather permitting), with the hot springs maintaining a temperature between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.

Your tour will conclude with a brief stop in Drekagil, after which you will be dropped back off at your original departure point in Reykjahlíð.
