Don't skip the show! - Great show! Very educational from both the guy that led it and the short video. Makes you appreciate and respect mother nature with what she can do! Read to do in Vik since it is a smaller venue. We were very happy with our choice to do it in Vik!

Unique experience! - When another activity fell through, we found the Lava show. We did the ticket and the lava rock souvenir. It was such a good choice. Our whole group enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Watching the lava flow and cool was amazing. It was educational in a really fun way.

Quite a unique experience - The amount of heat you feel from a “tiny” lava flow it’s impressive. The experience is amazing, and the explanations are very clear

Must do while in Vik - Absolutely terrific show. Professionally run, easy to schedule (and reschedule), everyone had a good seat, interesting presentation and then REAL LAVA! Fascinating to watch it flow and pool, harden and crack. Really the only place in the world you can see this up close so props to them for taking the 7 years to perfect everything.

Brief but interesting - Eat the soup at the restaurant before the show. It is outstanding. They also offer free refills. Lava show was very entertaining for adults and children alike.

Even Better than Expected - Way exceeded our expectations - such a cool experience! "Edu-tainment" is definitely accurate - we learned so much and had a blast the whole time. Definitely recommend.

I don't think you'll find this amazing show anywhere else (outside Iceland) - The photos cannot relay just how awe inspiring it is. A nice bit of history and then to see the lava and feel the heat it is amazing.
