Grindavik: Private Volcano HIke to Fagradalsfjall Eruption site
(tripadvisor)
2025-04-22
WHAT an adventure. First and Foremost, I truly believe this was such a great excursion because of our guide; Oddi. Oddi was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and knew how to pace our group according to ability. I personally was having some hip issues and he got me past my fears, and limitations and we made it to the goal ! Wonderful break at the top with homemade goodies and hot chocolate.
We also stopped at a WW2 memorial on the way ( incredibly sobering) and the town of Grindavik, which was heartbreaking to see and a reminder of what mother nature can do. We also visited some mudpots on the way back.

DO THIS TOUR . I was incredibly wary at first, but this day turned out to be one my favorites on our Iceland adventure!

Oddi was a great guide, a proud Icelander keen to show off the country he loves. He shared a lot of Iceland’s history old and new.

The trip was awesome and the guide was super friendly. We took many photos, and he was even kind enough to give us hot chocolate and a chocolate bar. The roads were rocky, but our guide was very patient and was happy to help whenever we needed it. He was also very informative. Thank you very much for this amazing experience!
