Le point de rendez-vous est au terminal de bus BSI
Nous visitons le tunnel de lave Raufarhólshellir situé à seulement 30 minutes de Reykjavík. Nous assisterons au fonctionnement interne d'une éruption volcanique en marchant sur le chemin d'une lave qui coulait il y a des milliers d'années. Le tunnel de lave est l’un des plus grands d’Islande et peut atteindre 30 mètres de large et 10 mètres de haut. Le plafond du tube de lave s'est effondré près de l'entrée, ce qui crée de belles colonnes de lumière. La gamme fantastique de couleurs du mur du tunnel est due aux différents types de minéraux de la roche.

It was a fun tour, good amount of time for experiencing the lava tunnel. Transportation to and from went very smoothly. I would classify the walk into the tunnels - easy to moderate as there are parts of the walk that are uneven. Tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, and knew how to read the crowd.
It was an extremely rocky walk with many stairs and wet surfaces. You do get dripped on as you go. But I would so do it again as it was well worth the effort. NOTE: It is not for anyone with any difficulty walking or with balance issues! The guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the natural beauty and geology of the lava tunnel which always adds to the enjoyment of any tour. Thanks so much!
Don’t go on this tour if you have issues walking on steep, wet, rocky paths. It is NOT all flat. It’s cool in the tube. We go on lots of cave tours, this one was nice, guide was great, they have bathrooms and snacks for purchase.
Make sure they pick you up at your pick up place. They didnt pick us up at all. Now we're fighting to get money back.
Very interesting, but very cold inside the tunnel. Our guide was very informative and the rock formations were very beautiful.
The Lava Tour was excellent but the transfers from Reykjavik were a mess. First we were to be picked up at the cruise terminal in a marked bus with the tour name on it and it turns out it was a just a transfer bus that took us to the BSI terminal where we then transfered to another bus. Would have been helpful to have known that even though I sent a message the night before for clarification and only received a vague, form letter response. The Lava Tour was excellent but we had to wait 45 minutes to be picked up as the driver was delayed picking up a separate group who were doing ziplinjng.
While beautiful and very interesting, this is not for those with balance or walking issues. My aunt had to turn around as she was not able to walk thru the tunnel due to the uneven surfaces, based on the photos, I thought the entire length had the metal walking path, and it didn't. Turning the lights off was definitely sensory altering.
The experience was great and the explanation of and opportunities to see the flow up close was amazing. However, it was cold and very wet-the ceiling drips constantly. And the path is uneven but navigable with the provided hiking sticks.

Tour itself in caves was excellent. Transportation to and from was less than great. But started out 20 minutes late and at end we had to wait additional 30 minutes for bus to come. Some others missed their next planned tour because of hour delay

This was a good experience but was not as fantastic as the other things we did in Iceland. Would recommend only if you have additional time in the country.
