The Lava Falls Adventure Tour takes you off the beaten path and into the depths of The Lava Tunnel to explore the source of the cave, the magnificent Lava Falls.

A more extreme tour for the adventure seeker

This is the tour for the adventure seekers, it takes you beyond the standard tour, all the way to the end of the tunnel where magnificent lava falls and other natural wonders await in the dark. This is truly an unforgettable experience, full of sights and emotions. The Lava Falls tour is the highest rated tour of The Lava Tunnel. It’s done in small groups only, with a designated caving guide. Please note that this tour is more extreme than normal attractions as it traverses over a difficult terrain, including big rocks and boulders so a good balance and good physical health is required

"We will take you to the end of the tunnel where magnificent lava falls and other natural monuments await.”

An adventure to remember

You will spend 3 – 4 hours in the cave. That being said no prior caving experience is required. We rely solely head torches to navigate through this underground wonderworld so we do not recommend this tour for those that may suffer from some sort of claustrophobia. We also do not recommend this tour for pregnant women or children younger than 12. Passengers must be wearing hiking boots with ankle support. This is extremely important as the terrain is very rocky. Sneakers or low cut shoes will not be allowed due to the risk of an ankle injury. More information about what to wear on the tour can be found on our blog

Gear and Conditions

Helmets, headlights are provided, as well as crampons in winter. Hiking boots (with ankle support) and warm clothes are required and we recommend a backpack for water and snack. Bear in mind that there is usually some water dripping from the ceiling so wearing a water resistant or waterproof jacket/clothes is good. Please note that there is a minimum number of 4 passengers for the Lava Falls Adventure tour. The Lava Tunnel reserves the right to cancel a tour with at least one hour notice if there is insufficient number of passengers. Of course, if The Lava Tunnel cancels your tour you get a full refund. The Lava Tunnel also reserves the right to deny a passenger with insufficient clothing and/or foot wear on the tour.

Please note that we cannot guarantee that the tour will reach the end of the cave in every tour. It really depends on the fitness and overall state of the passengers/group.
