Layover/stopover tour from Keflavik intl airport
Arrival tour for passengers arriving at Keflavik airport and layover-stopover passengers waiting for a connection flight.
The Salty Arrival Reykjanes tour begins at 7:30 am at Keflavik airport and your first stop is at a nearby Hotel where you can enjoy a delicious breakfast for about 40 minutes.
From there we head on to the magnificent and rural part of Reykjanes peninsula with its rugged coastline, moss-covered lava fields, volcanoes and history.
The Reykjanes peninsula offers scenery as spectacular as anywhere in Iceland. A brief drive brings you to dramatic Lake Kleifarvatn with its bubbling hot springs and colourful solfataras of Seltun. You will cross dramatic lava flows along the Krýsuvík Coast going to the south shore fishing village of Grindavík– of Blue Lagoon fame.
We will continue further west to the Reykjanesviti Light House, migratory birding cliffs, and a walk across Iceland’s Bridge Between 2 Continents traversing the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The tour ends at the unique Blue Lagoon spa. At the Blue Lagoon, you can decide how long you want to stay in the bath and other facilities.
On the tour, we look at Lake Kleifarvatn and the hot spring area of Seltun, Krysuvik. We also have a look at the rugged shoreline with black sand lava beaches and dramatic sea cliffs. On the tour, we will have many stops for photographing and short walks for stretching our legs. Our next stop is the Bridge between Two Continents where you can walk from Europe to America in just a few steps and get the feeling for the action of the tectonic plates. That action and the hot spot under Iceland are the main reason for the existence of Iceland.
We have about a 2-hour visit at the Blue Lagoon where you can have a bath and rejuvenate and relax before going to your hotel. The tour takes about 8 hours.
Itinerary
The tour begins at the airport terminal at about 07:30 or when we are done with custom service, the breakfast if needed is at a nearby Hotel.
Good to know

I toured Iceland twice with Thor ! Every time he was considerate, on time. He is a great driver on snow and ice. We trusted him with our lives! He knows Iceland history and regaled us with stories. He cares about the people and his country. Those blue eyes and that smile welcomed us. He even woke upon at 4 am to take me to the airport! That is genuine kindness and commitment! Best tours with lots of places to discover. Thanks a million! You are the best!!
My husband and I did a private South Coast tour with Thor, Salty Tours. From the first communication through to dropping us off at our apartment, we had an incredibly positive experience. Any questions before the tour were answered promptly. The tour itself was fantastic. Thor is very knowledgeable, personable and interested in giving his clients the best day possible. He tailored the tour to suit our interests and pace. He timed out stops so we weren’t competing with the larger tour buses and gave us honest tips about each stop, ensuring that we got the best experience possible. Highly recommend Salty Tours!
My tour of Iceland in March was perhaps the best travel experience I have ever had. Our tour guide, Thor, did his utmost to make sure we had the best experience possible. We were able to see the northern lights on three nights and he took fabulous photos and beforehand told us a little bit about science behind the northern light. The accommodations were wonderful, the food was excellent, and in out-of-the-way places, the tour arranged for private meals where there weren’t restaurants. It was wonderful to go in March to see the northern lights and to avoid the crowds from the cruise ships.
