Itinerary
This is a standard tour which includes transportation from Reykjavík and allows you to explore the tunnel in an easy and enjoyable manner. The tunnel is covered in large rocks and difficult to pass. That is why paths and a footbridge have been constructed so it is easily accessible when doing the Lava Tunnel Tour. Impressive lighting in this part of the tunnel highlights the changing colors and clearly shows the powerful seismic activity that formed the tunnel.
