The Lava Tunnel - Standard Tour

Delve into the depths of the Earth by touring the impressive Raufarhólshellir, one of the most extensive lava tunnels in all of Iceland.

If you were looking for a truly "subway" experience, this trip to the heart of an ancient volcanic flow is just what you need. With your one-hour ticket, a specialized guide will accompany you through this extraordinary lava tube, explaining its history, geology and the volcanic processes that created it. You will be able to touch walls formed thousands of years ago and discover firsthand the power of Icelandic volcanoes in a unique setting. In the cold months, the entrance to the tunnel is also transformed with spectacular ice sculptures, an amazing sight that hardly resembles anything you've seen before.
