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, you'll make several stops to stretch your legs, have something to eat, and enjoy the views. After a three to four hour drive, you'll arrive at the Askja Volcano.

You'll have approximately two and a half hours to explore the area around the Askja Caldera. Take photos, relax, or follow the short half-hour walking trail from the car park to Askja Lake and the Viti Crater. You can also enjoy a dip in the natural hot springs (weather permitting), with water temperatures ranging from 20 to 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.
