Inside the Volcano: Small-Group Tour and Lava Field Hike

Experience the thrill of descending into a dormant volcano just outside Reykjavik on this small-group adventure in Iceland. Begin your journey with a scenic drive to the dramatic Blue Mountains, where your expert guide shares fascinating stories about the region's volcanic history.

Once in the Bláfjöll area, set out on a guided hike across ancient lava fields. The trail winds through a surreal landscape shaped by past eruptions, offering a close look at Iceland’s unique geology. This moderate hike is suitable for those with a reasonable level of fitness and a sense of adventure.

At the crater's edge, gear up with a helmet and harness before boarding an open cable elevator. You’ll be safely lowered 120 meters into the heart of Thrihnukagigur Volcano, the only accessible magma chamber in the world. Inside, marvel at the vibrant mineral-stained rock walls and learn about the volcano’s last eruption over 4,000 years ago.

After exploring the vast underground chamber, ascend back to the surface and retrace your steps across the lava fields. Enjoy light refreshments and take in the final views before your return drive to Reykjavik. Pickup and drop-off are included from select locations in the capital area for your convenience.
