Do not miss Perlan!!
We did the whole Perlan experience on 10 Aug 2026. All of the employees we came in contact with were so nice and so helpful! They added a lot to an already awesome time! Luz was especially helpful in calling us a cab and assisting us to get tickets to watch the eclipse from Perlan. Highly recommend this as a not-miss experience in Reykjavik!!

Great experience
Fantastic overview of Icelands animals and geography. Enjoyed all the elements of it including the immersive videos/movies.

Well worth a visit
The 360 degree views from Perlan are fantastic on a clear day. It's so much more than that though. The exhibitions, video shows and ice cave in this modern, clean facility are all first class. We bought discounted tickets as an add-on with our hop-on hop-off bus tour, very glad we did.

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Perlan Admission - Volcano & Ice Cave, Northern Lights Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Perlan Admission - Volcano & Ice Cave, Northern Lights Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Perlan Admission - Volcano & Ice Cave, Northern Lights Experience take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Perlan Admission - Volcano & Ice Cave, Northern Lights Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 2,382 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Perlan Admission - Volcano & Ice Cave, Northern Lights Experience?
+
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 Perlan Admission - Volcano & Ice Cave, Northern Lights Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Perlan Admission - Volcano & Ice Cave, Northern Lights Experience?
+
Around 834 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Perlan Admission - Volcano & Ice Cave, Northern Lights Experience 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.
