Great Show to see real lava - We saw the Lava Show in Vik due to our plans getting canceled from high winds. The show did not disappoint. So much great information about Iceland and the Volcano. Seeing the lava was so cool, and the heat was something to experience. It was engaging and fun for all ages - I highly recommend.

Very fun and interesting - You can not see this kind of thing in many places. Vik was the perfect place to experience. Worth the price of admission. Also yummy soup at the cafe part of location.
