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

You will have around two and a half hours of free time to explore the area around the Askja Caldera at your own pace. Take photos, relax in the fresh mountain air, or follow the short half-hour walking trail from the car park up to Askja Lake and the Viti Crater. Here, you can enjoy a dip in the natural pools (weather permitting), which are hot springs with water temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius.

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