Experience TOP!!!

Great experience, very rewarding. A little freshness when you enter the room, but quickly warmed up when the lava arrives in the room. Big UP in Louis

Important part of our experience

Perfect add-on for our ring road experience! Luis was so informative and interesting. This is a part of our narrative when people ask, "How as Iceland?" Thank you!

Worth visiting

Louis gave a clear, educational and entertaining show. He shared plenty of facts, presented it in a fun way with some good jokes and performed a good lava show. Would definitely advice to go if you have the oppurtunity.
