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 to stretch, eat, and enjoy the views. After a three to four hour drive, you'll arrive at the Askja Volcano.

You will have approximately two and a half hours to explore the area around the Askja Caldera. You can take photos, relax in the mountain air, or follow the half hour walking trail to Askja Lake and the Viti Crater. There, you can enjoy a dip in the natural hot springs, with water temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, weather permitting.

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