Traveler reviews
Fun way to learn about lava! Great for kids
Great way to learn about the history of eruptions and lava in Iceland! Our guide (Annalis?) did a wonderful job showing us how lava reacts to ice and air.
Great overview of area volcanoes and lava.
Really enjoyed the lava demonstration and interactiveness of the show. History of the area volcanoes and evacuation plans was helpful.
Unique lava experience for all age groups.
An impressive, interesting, and informative presentation! Ann-Sophie described the history and phases of the lava with fun and enthusiasm, providing insightful glimpses into the background of the show. A last-minute rescheduling to an earlier slot was made possible quickly and without bureaucracy. Thank you for that!
excellent show in Vik
On a cold day, this was an invigorating experience being able to see lava close up in person. Luis was an excellent narrator and explained things very well and kept children engaged.
Great intro to lava and volcanos
We had so much fun and learned a lot! The venue is easy to access and smells amazing because of the soup next door. We were greeted warmly at the desk and reassured about the heat warnings, which had me a little nervous but were really nothing to worry about at all. Our lava guide was funny and engaging, and we enjoyed all three parts of the show (intro and explanation, movie about Katla, and lava pouring) and would definitely recommend this experience to people who want to see lava without chasing volcanos.
