Join this tour to experience the extraordinary beauty of a natural lava tube and the volcanic Reykjanes Geopark.
After pickup from your hotel in Reykjavik, we start the day with a tour into a hidden lava tube cave that was formed by a river of hot glowing magma some 2000 years ago. We only use natural caves without man-made pathways or fixed lights. Just highly trained professional guides that can choose the best route for their small group
After the caving adventure, we move on to the volcanic system Trölladyngja to see the stunning black lake Kleifarvatn with it's black sand beaches and witness the volcanic activity with oour own eyes at the steaming hot Seltun geothermal site.
This is the highest rated cave tour in Iceland so with a max of only 6 guests per Land Rover Discovery there is limited availability for this popular tour.
Please note: The cave entrance and cave floor is, in some parts of the cave, covered with big rocks that can be unstable, some crouching and bending/crawling may be required.
Good sneakers or hiking shoes are necessary and gloves or mittens are nice to have. Dress warmly as the average temperature in the cave is 2°C/35°F
The tour includes an open voucher to the Volcano House screening about recent eruptions in Iceland - Feel free to ask your guide to drop you off at the Volcano House

Niflheimar is the Ninth World of the Old Norse mythology and it's entry is through a Cave guarded by the giant wolf Garmur. Ruled by the Giantess/Goddess Hel daughter of Loki, the underworld offers no pleasure, only darkness, damp and cold boredom for those that died without glory.
