Krýsuvík Geothermal Experience – Private Tour in a Ford Focus RS This private 3 hour tour combines the thrill of a performance-inspired drive with some of the most striking landscapes near Reykjavík. Following the Krýsuvík route , renowned for its winding mountain roads and geothermal scenery, the journey is designed to showcase both the natural beauty of Iceland and the rally heritage of the Ford Focus RS . Shorter than a full-day excursion, this experience is perfect for travelers with limited time who still want a memorable and dynamic adventure close to the capital. The Drive The road through Krýsuvík offers a rare mix of serpentine curves, elevation changes, and open stretches , making it one of the most rewarding short drives in Iceland. From geothermal valleys to volcanic coastlines , the landscape unfolds dramatically, while the Focus RS’s turbocharged power, sport-tuned suspension, and all-wheel drive make the driving experience as captivating as the scenery itself. Points of Interest 📍 Seltún Geothermal Area – Vibrant geothermal colors, bubbling mud pools, and steaming vents provide a close-up view of Iceland’s volcanic energy. 📍 Kleifarvatn Lake – A hauntingly beautiful lake set among volcanic ridges, with stunning photo opportunities along its shoreline . 📍 Krýsuvíkurkirkja – A rare and historic black-timber church , standing solitary in the wild landscape of Krýsuvík. 📍 Krýsuvíkurberg Cliffs (weather dependent, no winter service) – Towering sea cliffs teeming with birdlife, offering dramatic coastal views if conditions allow access. Seasonal Note • Summer : Access to Krýsuvíkurberg cliffs is usually possible, making the route more expansive and diverse. • Winter : Due to road conditions and lack of service, the cliffs might be inaccessible in case of a snowfall; the focus instead remains on Seltún, Kleifarvatn, and Krýsuvíkurkirkja , with equally rewarding scenic drives. The Car – Spirit The modified Ford Focus RS (Spirit) is the defining feature of this tour. Built with rally DNA , it transforms a short journey into a thrilling experience: • Turbocharged engine delivering instant power. • All-wheel drive for confident handling on twisting mountain roads. • Sport suspension for precise control on variable surfaces. • Custom tuning and exhaust that bring excitement to every stretch. • Premium, supportive interior for both comfort and immersion. Note: Spirit has four bookable seats, though it is best suited for three adults and one smaller individual or child, given the car’s compact performance layout.
