Iceland · VOLCANOES & LAVA IN VíK
Iceland gives you fewer free days than you planned for. These 5 volcanoes & lava in Vík are the ones worth spending one on, each with its price, its rating and the thing to know before you commit.
See molten lava up close, touch cooling lava, hear the Katla 1918 story, and ask questions.
“This was such an amazing and informative experience. Good for adults and little kids. Getting to see real lava upclose and personal was incredible.”
Super Jeep to Katla’s ice cave near Vík for a short, safe walk on glacier ice, with crampons, helmet, and an English guide.
“Our tour guides were amazing (and funny)!! Edgar and Hak(i don’t remember his full name) were great and super informative. I would definitely recommend this!”
Watch real lava flow in Vik, Iceland. Feel the heat, hear the crackle, and learn the science in a 50-minute live show.
“The lava show was really informative and entertaining. Be prepared for heat, as the lava radiates a lot of heat into the room once it comes out. My son and I enjoyed it a lot.”
Timed entry to Lava Centre in Vik, Iceland, for hands-on volcano and earthquake exhibits plus a film and rooftop view. Great for families.
“Great museum! Quite interactive- had vibrating plates to simulate different movements in the earth and a big wheel to turn that took you through the history of the formation of Iceland. Amazing views from the roof where you can see all the volcanoes (which is all mapped out very simply which was helpful). The film about the volcanoes was great, out 4 year old was very impressed and it helped with explaining the different eruptions (really smoky one, one with lots of lava etc). Quite similar to what's in the Petlan Museum in Reykjavik”
Off-road super jeep to the Katla Ice Cave near Vík, with crampons, safety gear, and a glacier hike to ever-changing blue-black ice.
“Dress for all weather conditions, is a great tour, we really enjoyed it and our guide Leif was wonderful. Thank you.”
