The Standard Lava Tunnel Tour gets even better in winter. The lava tunnel with it’s magnificent colors and lava formation gets decorated with icicles hanging from the ceiling and rising from the tunnel floor (Ice stalactites & ice stalagmite). We believe winter is the best time to visit the tunnel. We are offering a special midweek offer, ISK 5.600 for an adult and 2.800 for teenagers (12 - 15). Children under the age of 12 travel for free. The offer is valid Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
