Our standard tour allows you to explore the tunnel in an easy and enjoyable manner. The tunnel is in many places covered in large rocks and difficult to pass. A footbridge and several paths have been built over the roughest terrain making the standard tour accessible by all. Impressive lighting in this part of the tunnel highlights the changing colors and clearly shows the powerful volcanic activity that formed the tunnel.
This tour which includes transport has departures at 09:00 or 13:00 from the BSI bus terminal in Reykjavik. Optional Pick up from hotels / bus stop locations is available 30 minutes before departure.
