Select participants and date
The bus eases out of Reykjavik as the city’s low houses shrink behind you and the volcanic plain opens like a page of living geology. By mid-morning the air carries the metallic tang of steam and the ground seems to breathe—Strokkur in the Geysir field punctuates that breath with a sudden arc of boiling water, daring you to step closer and count the seconds before it collapses back into the earth.

Adventure Tips
Dress for fickle weather
Bring waterproof outer layers and windproof shells—conditions can change from sun to sleet in under an hour.
Wear sturdy shoes
Trails around Gullfoss and Kerið are uneven and slippery; ankle-supporting footwear prevents a ruined outing.
Carry a small daypack
Pack water, snacks, and a portable battery for your camera; lunch isn’t included and stops are scheduled.
Protect your camera
Bring a lens cloth and rain cover—the spray from Gullfoss and geothermal steam can fog optics quickly.
