Overview

Caves are often dark, tight and uninviting places; however this is not the case on The Cave Explorer tour! What used to be slow traveled rugged terrain is now easy and enjoyable, thanks to our signature walkway caving just became family friendly. Leading from one great hall to the next the path is lit slightly flowing through this magical underworld. The stunning beauty of Víðgelmir lava cave lies in the amazing colours and rock formations that used to hide in the dark. Not any more! With fixed lights at selected locations this impressive cave can now be enjoyed with all that it has to offer. The Cave Explorer tour offers the very best of caving, the ease, the light and the dark!

This was a blast! We loved the tour. It was so interesting and the employees are so nice and educational! We also loved seeing the owners doggy.

Interesting and unique

We had a great tour of this, Iceland’s largest lava guide. Our guide was from Dublin, and filled our tour with interesting observations and insights. Most thought provoking was when he turned out the lights and encouraged us to consider the impact to our other senses and how we primarily depend on our sight. The physics of the cave formation overlapped my experience in glass melting, which the guide was eager to discuss and trade insights.

Beautiful!

The Cave tour was a highlight of our Iceland trip. The access was safe, and the guide was informative and entertaining. Be sure to dress very warmly for your tour!

Definitely a GREAT tour!

My husband and myself went on this tour in June 2024 and I highly recommend this experience. I was very impressed with our guide and the tour. The hardest part of the tour was the driving the gravel road to get to the start :) It really is a well-run operation and safety first was definitely a top priority with the staff! A great and unique experience!
