So cool!

Wow! So cool. From the start with our soup experience we knew it was going to be good. We got front row seats and we thoroughly enjoyed the stories of the surrounding area and to see the lava up close and feel the heat in the room was so cool.

for English speakers only

Very disappointed. I booked this show naively thinking that we could have a translation in French (headset) and nothing at all. Just a 2-page French text providing the translation of the video that was subtitled in English and the only understandable part of the activity! I would not have booked if I had been informed about it beforehand. That is my main complaint. You find out at the front desk and they do not offer you the option to cancel. If you are not comfortable with English, I do not recommend it. Otherwise, our son, who was comfortable with English, enjoyed it a lot.

So cool!

Fun, informative and where else will you see Lava indoors??? Our guide Luis was knowledgeable and fun! We learned so much about Katla and the other Volcanoes here in Iceland. Would do it again!!

Must do

Simply excellent! Highly professional and informative, suitable for a wide range of ages. A must, if you are a tourist and wish to better understand what living in Iceland entails.

Not real Lava

They are not melting lava rocks, they melt dark glass. I have seen melting glass in Check republic and Italy. This is exactly like that. They don’t take you behind the scene, they keep re-melting this glass.
