Summary
Description
Explore a lava tube hidden in a remote lava field on this private caving tour from Reykjavik in an electric vehicle.
Your guide, who specializes in caving, picks you up in Reykjavik. The drive to the cave takes about two hours, and since it's a private tour, you can stop along the way for snacks, coffee, and a packed lunch.
When you arrive, you hike for about 45 minutes over rough terrain to reach the cave.
At the cave, you put on your safety gear and spend about two hours exploring the lava tube.
Lava tubes form during volcanic eruptions, when hot lava flows through channels. The outer layer cools and hardens while the lava inside keeps flowing out, leaving a tunnel behind.
Your guide points out geological features and tells you how the cave formed and about Iceland's volcanic history. You see lava formations, stalagmites, and stalactites, and you may even find rare Pele's hair, fine strands of volcanic glass formed during eruptions.
Inside the cave, you climb over large boulders and volcanic rocks.
The tour uses zero-emission vehicles, and a tree is planted for every tour booked.
