Reviews
An amazing experience! We absolutely loved the Lava show - even my husband who was a little sceptical was enthralled from start to finish. Seeing the lava and feeling it's heat was brilliant but it was also so good to learn...
It was a very spectacular and informative show. Ian was fantastic! He was very and extremely educational and we enjoyed it immensely
We did this before in Vik in 2023 and decided to see it again in Reykjavik this trip. Really interesting commentary. Recommend this opportunity to safely experience flowing lava.
