About this tour

Explore the magnificent lava tunnel

Raufarhólshellir, one of the longest and best-known lava tubes in Iceland. It

is located just 30 minutes from Reykjavík and is easily accessed year round.

The tunnel is covered in large rocks and difficult

to pass. That is why paths and a footbridge have been constructed so it is

easily accessible when doing the Lava Tunnel Tour. Impressive

lighting in this part of the tunnel highlights the changing colors and clearly shows

the poweful seismic activity that formed the tunnel.
