“a fantastic, informative show. Definitely recommend this unique experience. Samantha was extremley knowledgable and answered all questions.”
Watch real lava flow in Reykjavik, with a short Iceland-volcano lesson, Q&A, and optional Premium backstage access and lounge.
“Enjoyed the lava show - the lady was informative, enthusiastic and answered questions. Seeing the lava up close was cool and you could really feel the heat. It was great doing this before the lava cave experience as could imagine the lava flowing!”
Private south coast fire and ice day with Skogafoss, black sand beaches, Seljalandsfoss, glacier viewpoint walk, and lava show.
“It was a wonderful once in a lifetime experience. The scenery was breathtaking and the tour guide Einar was very knowledgeable and fun. Overall a fantastic experience that I would recommend 100%.”
7-course teppanyaki tasting in Reykjavík with fresh Icelandic ingredients, a sake cocktail, and a live fire show.
“We had some mishaps when we first arrived with them seeing our reservations but the waitress was nice & kept trying to help & the assumed owner was pleasant & apologized & offer complimentary wine for our delay. Chef seemed a little out of tune or nervous but was still nice & food was good!”
Reykjavik’s Flame offers a 7 course Icelandic teppanyaki dinner with a live fire cooking show and a welcome sake cocktail in about 90 minutes for $110.
“Had a fabulous evening at Flame restaurant Reykjavik yesterday 5 November. Lovely surroundings, great food and great customer service from great staff and chef”
Whale watching in Faxaflói Bay plus Reykjavik’s live lava show. Warm gear, heated cabins, and a geology lesson in 4.5 hours.
“Both the whale watching and the lava show were excellent. It was not clear that the 2 events are separate and occur in different locations in Reykjavik. The customers have to provide their own transportation from one activity to the other.”
From Reykjavík, tour Vík for black sand views, watch the Lava Show, then see Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls on an 11-hour loop.
“Excellent tour of the south coast! Our guide Beggi was 10/10! Very informative and helpful! Even sang a lullaby before nap time on journey home! Highly recommend!”
Iceland in one day, a Lava Show plus whale watching from Faxaflói Bay, with warm overalls, heated seating, and a live English guide.
“This was an absolutely incredible activity for me and the children to do. We were all captivated by the lava, the film and the presenter. We managed to get front row but you can see from where ever you sit. The history of ísland is fascinating and seeing actual lava, how it forms and the colours was amazing. I would highly recommend.”
South Coast waterfalls and Vík Lava Show from Reykjavík. See Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss with Wi-Fi, plus an indoor lava experience.
“Got put with another tour that were going to an ice cave. I was the only one going to the Lava show, which you can also see in Reykjavik. The two waterfalls were fantastic. The 4 hours not doing much in Vik alone was not good. The lava show only took about 40 mins. The rest of the time I was left to do my own thing. Lots of driving, not as much commentary from the tour guide as I’ve had on other tours but he was quite knowledgeable. Overall- quite a basic tour.”
Reykjavik whale cruise with coveralls, then the Lava Show with real superheated lava. Half-day combo, plus a free re-cruise option.
“The most ugly thing: we did Not see whales!!!! It was the reason of our trip to Iceland. First of all, you cancelled the event, the day I scheduled and paid for. And then only saw water”
Every kind of day the city sends out, and the best of each.
