Raufarholshellir
Raufarhólshellir, one of Iceland’s longest lava tubes (1,360 m), offers an easy walk through striking volcanic formations and vividly colored mineral walls. Expert guides lead you safely through the cave, sharing its history and highlights on this approximately 1-hour tour. Afterward, you’ll be dropped back in Reykjavík for free time before pickup for the second part of the tour.
180 minutes here · Admission included
Kleifarvatn Lake
Your first stop of part two is Kleifarvatn, the largest lake on the Reykjanes Peninsula, about 30 minutes from Reykjavík. One of Iceland’s deepest lakes (97 m), it has no rivers feeding it and is sustained entirely by groundwater filtering through porous lava rock. Surrounded by colorful hills and dramatic lava formations, the lake is also home to local legends of a mysterious worm-like creature—stories your guide will share as you take in the scenery.
15 minutes here
Next, explore the Seltún geothermal area in Krýsuvík, famous for its Mars-like landscape of steaming hot springs and vividly colored hills. Mineral deposits paint the terrain in reds, yellows, and greys, while the scent of sulfur signals intense geothermal activity. Wooden walkways lead past bubbling mud pools, hissing steam vents, and active fumaroles.
45 minutes here · Admission included
After a short drive, visit Grænavatn—“the Green Lake”—a volcanic crater lake famed for its vivid green color caused by high sulfur content. This peaceful spot is ideal for photography and a striking example of Iceland’s unique geology.
15 minutes here
Visit Nátthagi near Fagradalsfjall, the site of Iceland’s 2021 volcanic eruption—the longest of the 21st century after 6,000 years of dormancy. Explore vast lava fields shaped by solidified flows, with a short hike to the Nátthagi viewpoint for a closer look at the frozen lava river. Note: The hike to the lava field about 20 minutes one way over uneven, rugged terrain.
60 minutes here
Grindavik
Arrive in Grindavík, a town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Once evacuated due to eruptions, it has now reopened, though many houses remain abandoned and roads show earthquake damage. Explore this unusual, quiet town and witness the raw power of Icelandic nature up close. We’ll stop at a local restaurant for 15 to 20 minutes to grab refreshments.
45 minutes here
Drive through the Sundhnúkagígar lava field near Grindavík, formed by Iceland’s recent eruptions, with steam still rising from the fresh volcanic terrain. After exploring, return to Reykjavík through scenic countryside, arriving in the early evening with time to relax or enjoy the city.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Iceland Volcanic Landscapes Adventure Lava Tunnels and Craters: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Iceland Volcanic Landscapes Adventure Lava Tunnels and Craters cost?
+
Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Iceland Volcanic Landscapes Adventure Lava Tunnels and Craters take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Iceland Volcanic Landscapes Adventure Lava Tunnels and Craters worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Iceland Volcanic Landscapes Adventure Lava Tunnels and Craters?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Iceland Volcanic Landscapes Adventure Lava Tunnels and Craters suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Iceland Volcanic Landscapes Adventure Lava Tunnels and Craters?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Iceland Volcanic Landscapes Adventure Lava Tunnels and Craters start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
