Private Reykjavik & Reykjanes 7‑Hour Airport Transfer and Custom City Tour
From touchdown to tide‑scoured cliffs: a private 7‑hour transfer that blends Reykjavik’s cultural highlights with Reykjanes’ geothermal drama. Flexible stops, an expert driver‑guide, and door‑to‑door logistics make it a compact introduction to Iceland.
The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in wind‑resistant layers
Coastal and geothermal sites can be cold and windy even in summer; a windproof outer layer keeps you comfortable during short walks.
Keep luggage minimal in the vehicle
Store large bags in the car to make photo stops and short hikes easier — bring only essentials for the day.
Watch footing at geothermal sites
Boardwalks protect you but can be slippery with steam and rain; wear grippy shoes and stay on marked paths.
Charge devices and bring spare battery
Phone cameras and navigation apps drain quickly in cold weather — a portable charger ensures you don’t miss key shots.
