Superb and unique experience! - An amazing experience! We absolutely loved the Lava show - even my husband who was a little sceptical was enthralled from start to finish. Seeing the lava and feeling it's heat was brilliant but it was also so good to learn so much about the volcanoes of Iceland. The show host was awesome and made the whole experience so engaging - just brilliant!

Fantastic show! - The lava show was fantastic! Johanna was our presenter and she did an excellent job educating us about lava & Iceland’s geology. She was very entertaining & added a bit of comedy to the show. We did the premium package and got to take a backstage tour of the furnace that they melt the lava in and that was really cool to see (figuratively speaking; it gets very hot in there)

Great way to experience flowing lava - We did this before in Vik in 2023 and decided to see it again in Reykjavik this trip. Really interesting commentary. Recommend this opportunity to safely experience flowing lava.
