Full description
Explore the fascinating world beneath the lava fields on this caving tour. Located near Reykjavik, it’s a perfect example of an Icelandic lava tube, providing a truly unique experience as you explore the dark and mysterious underworld. During your adventure, see curious rock formations left behind by the last volcanic eruption. In winter the cave is often filled with glistening icicles of all shapes and sizes, a sight not soon forgotten. After you have been equipped with all necessary caving gear, crawl beneath the surface of the earth to explore the fairytale passages and crevasses of the cave. With guaranteed departures from Reykjavik every day of the year, put on a pair of good shoes and gloves, and bring a sense of adventure for this unorthodox trip. It helps if you are not afraid of the dark.

loved this activity. Our guide was brilliant: factually, thorough and funny. Really interesting talk and pretty scenery, would really recommend. We drove ourselves in a rental car and the roads were accessible in the snow, the venue is well sign posted.

The lava cave tour was a lot of fun. Our guide was very informative on the history of the cave and types of volcanoes. It was a fun one hour adventure. I would try to book the first tour of the day which is what we did. We had the whole cave to our group.

It was a quick experience (about 1 hour excluding pickup/drop off) which honestly is convenient if you’re trying to see multiple things in one day like me. The cave was amazing, and the tour guide was very informative! I like how interactive, breathtaking (from the views not the walk lol), and relaxing the tour was overall. The walk was moderate and stunning, recommend to anyone considering!
