    Great Vacation Activity
    Victoria_K, Apr 2024
    Video was very informative. Great info re volcanic activity historically and to date. Lava Show was excellent overall.
    The show was incredible,...
    Emily_M, Apr 2024
    The show was incredible, really cool.to see. The presenter, I think Daniel, was very informative and showed us lots of amazing things with the lava, even making his own lava tunnel
    Phantastic, informative and funny show
    Silvio_G, Apr 2024
    The Lava-Show was magic, seeing lava flowing and cooling down just in front of you - great! And the explanations given were gripping from start to end. We'd recommend booking the premium ticket, not only because of the welcome drink, but mainly for the backstage tour giving even more detailed information about the show. We love it.
    Real Lava Experience!
    Matt_K, Apr 2024
    Fantastic experience, being up close to real lava! Madison was a great host and taught us a lot and answered everyone’s questions.
    Worth the visit!
    Laura_R, Apr 2024
    This experience was well worth the visit! It was very informative and interesting. Getting to see lave up close was a thrill.
    Feel the heat
    Davina_B, Apr 2024
    Fantastic experience get to be up close to real lava in a safe enviroment and a host that gives you a real insight to volcanoes.
    Indoor lava - what's not to like.
    Stephen_T, Apr 2024
    An enjoyable show - certainly different from anything I have seen before! The host was knowledgeable and entertaining, and was happy to answer questions.
    Fun with Lava!!!
    David_C, Apr 2024
    This was so much fun...never seen anything quite like it...we did the upgraded experience with a tour backstage after the show was over...highly recommended!!!
    Definitely worth the viewing.
    Ryan_S, Apr 2024
    Super cool experience, and learned a lot about Iceland and lava itself. The room lights up from the lava with the lights being off, and it naturally heats the room!
    Hot Melting Lava!
    Roger_Y, Apr 2024
    We had so much fun at the Lava Show. Although it may seem (and probably is) touristy, it was amazing to see actual melting, hot glowing lava flow right before your eyes, especially if you plan on joining other volcano/cave tours on your travel thru Iceland. The guide was insightful and answered questions from the audience!
    A must see
    Joann_B, Apr 2024
    The lava show was amazing. The narrator was great and combined education with entertainment. It gets warm in the theater but it was nice to be warm for a little while!
    Great show
    Sarah_G, Apr 2024
    Great show very informative. Would recommend the kids that were also there seemed to love it………………..
    Great show from start to finish
    Gemma_I, Apr 2024
    From start to finish the experience was amazing from the man behind the bar (formerly from Scotland) and the man who conducted the show. It was SO interesting, informative, exciting the list goes on. We had premium ticket and was well worth it. GREAT JOB
    Very interesting
    sally_d, Apr 2024
    Very interesting, lots of facts. Both my daughter and I really enjoyed it. Staff were really nice. We walked there from Reykjavík centre. Very safe and easy to walk.
    Molten hot fun
    Corrinne_Q, Apr 2024
    Very educational. Almost learnt how to say the famous volcano name - but not quite! Iain (the Scottish host) was really knowledgeable and spoke at a great pace. The video was also very factual and engaging. The lava was amazing and it was toasty warm which was very welcome from the cold windy outdoors!
    Get up close with lava!
    Richard_W, Mar 2024
    Fun and educational! We enjoyed feeling the heat up close and learning about lava! Staff was very friendly and answered a lot of questions from the crowd. Great experience for all ages.
    Definitely worth going!
    Bill_H, Mar 2024
    The host was a woman originally from NY, now taking geology in Iceland. She did a great job, very knowledgeable and a true passion for what she is doing. Excellent show, definitely recommended.
    Excellent experience
    Paul_E, Mar 2024
    An Excellent! one off show well worth seeing. Premium experience with a little souvenir is the best option.
    Lava Show premium experience. Well worth your time
    AnneMarie_W, Mar 2024
    Seeing the red molten lava and feeling the heat on the second floor was quite something. I enjoyed all the info on eruptions; some things we don’t hear about in news articles. Like earthquakes prior to…how many actual active volcanoes are in Iceland…what happens during fissures, etc. it was a great and informative experience. I’m very glad that we upgraded to the premium experience.
    Fantastic show.
    Jeff_S, Mar 2024
    Very knowledgeable presenter made it a great show. Great way to see lava up close and safely. We learned a a lot and enjoyed the show.
