The Cave Explorer

The cave itself is already very fascinating. However, the great tour makes it a very special experience. Our guide Jan told us a lot of exciting things about the cave, its formation, the stories behind it, and also about Iceland and its people with his friendly and funny manner. The experience of absolute darkness was a highlight (unfortunate choice of words..). Absolutely recommended!! Dress warmly, it gets REALLY cold!

Fantastic and informative visit deep into the Vidgelmir lava cave. Our guide Joy was an absolutely joy! Very well informed, easy to understand and kept a good pace. We were lucky and had 6 in our group, others had 15-20. There is a slightly tight entrance to the cave where you have to duck a little but it's short and easy to do. We went 700m deep along a wooden walkway. There are multiple staircases but as someone with a knee condition, it was very manageable and not rushed. Lots of interesting facts along the way about the different 'rooms' with joy pointing out various colours of the rocks and different lava formations. Fun section at the end where all the lights get switched off and you're in complete darkness for minutes!

This was a fun and informative cave tour. Our guide Joy was energetic, informative, and funny. You go deep into the Lava Cave where the temperature is around 40F, so dress warmly. The majority of the tour is a wide wooden walkways and stairs, our 7 yr managed the tour with no issues, might be tough for 4 and under.

I would like to recommmend this Cave tour. It was a very enjoyable and interesting experience. I think my favourite was the chocolate wall but also found the lava shites very funny. Our guide Joy was really knowledgeable about the cave and all the fabulous features we got to see.

What a fabulous experience this is. The drive to the cave is very scenic, and there is a short walk to the cave entrance from the admissions centre. The guide (Joy) was really knowledgeable and entertaining, and added greatly to the atmosphere of the day, especially with her spooky story in the dark towards the end. The trip lasted around 1.5hours, and had many great features. There were about 20 on the trip, and even two young children managed well. Very well worth the admission fee.

This is a great walking tour into a volcanic cave/lava tunnel. They have boardwalk throughout. )There is one spot where you need to squeeze through.) We spent 90 minutes on this informative beautiful tour and it was fantastic. Very worth your time and money! Be sure to dress warmer than you think you need to! It’s very cold underground!!

This was a brilliant experience. Our guide, Joy, was friendly, funny and very informative throughout the whole time, almost two hours. The price was good for Icelandic experiences (about £45pp) and the group was quite small, roughly 15-20 total, including some very well-behaved children, and everyone was obviously impressed with the atmosphere and experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the history, mythology and science of the cave. The operation was smooth and efficient and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This was an incredible tour/ everything about it was cool and interesting and Owen was a knowledgable guide! Highly recommend.

Really special experience to be able to walk in a cave that was created by lava flow about 1000years ago. When you realise that you are walking on solid lava it is a feeling that nothing compares to.

Gareth was great! Would absolutely recommend.
