Lava Show & Northern Lights Cruise

This unique tour combines two of Iceland’s most powerful natural phenomena: volcanic activity and the aurora borealis. Begin your evening in Reykjavík’s Grandi harbour district with a visit to the immersive Lava Show, where real molten lava—superheated from remnants of the 1918 Katla eruption—is poured into a showroom right before your eyes. The experience begins with a brief introduction and a short film about Iceland's volcanic landscape, focusing on major eruptions and the volcanic threats near the capital. As you sit just feet away from the glowing lava, you’ll not only see it flow, but also hear it crackle, smell the minerals in the air, and feel its intense heat. This rare and powerful demonstration offers a one-of-a-kind look into the dynamic geological forces that shape Iceland, leaving you with a deeper connection to the island's raw natural beauty.

Following the Lava Show, make your way to Reykjavík’s Old Harbour for the Northern Lights Cruise, where you’ll set sail in search of the enchanting Aurora Borealis. As you leave the city lights behind, the boat glides across the cold winter sea, offering a quiet and atmospheric setting to witness the ever-changing northern lights. These natural wonders are best seen under dark, clear skies from September to April. While sightings can never be guaranteed, the experienced crew doesn’t shy away from the challenge—regardless of forecasts, they’re committed to giving it their best shot every night. Their expertise and flexible approach, exploring sheltered areas and nearby islands, increase your chances of seeing the auroras. The combination of the fiery lava show and the serene magic of the Northern Lights makes for an unforgettable evening in Iceland.
