Lava Tunnel Tour (Back to Back)

The Lava Tunnel Tour at Raufarhólshellir offers a rare opportunity to explore one of Iceland’s longest and most impressive lava tubes, formed over 5,200 years ago. This guided adventure leads you through a subterranean world where you can walk the literal path of ancient molten lava and witness the inner workings of a volcanic eruption. The tunnel’s vast interior is illuminated to showcase award-winning lighting that highlights vibrant, rainbow-colored mineral deposits and unique rock formations. Near the entrance, natural skylights created by collapsed sections of the ceiling allow columns of light to stream in, while winter visits often feature spectacular natural ice sculptures.
