Experience the raw, primal power of nature like never before at the Icelandic Lava Show — a one-of-a-kind attraction that brings the island’s volcanic activity to life. Watch as molten lava, reaching temperatures of up to 1100°C, flows before your eyes in a controlled and safe environment. This immersive experience not only showcases Iceland’s dramatic geological forces but also tells the story of how the country’s landscapes have been shaped by eruptions over time. It’s an unforgettable encounter with fire and heat that stirs awe and appreciation for the elemental power of the Earth.
After feeling the heat of the lava, cool off with a different kind of thrill — a whale watching adventure in Faxaflói Bay. Set out on a guided boat tour in search of majestic marine wildlife such as minke whales, humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises. With expert commentary and panoramic views of the surrounding sea and coastline, this journey offers both excitement and serenity. Combining the volcanic drama of land with the natural wonders of the ocean, this tour gives you the best of Iceland’s elemental beauty in one powerful day.

The Lava Show is a super cool and unique experience! This is a fantastic way to learn about lava and actually see it in person 🔥 The "backstage" tour adds another layer of interest, giving you a close look at the machine behind the show. It’s also a great example of how sustainable energy can power engaging, educational experiences. You will also find a cafe/bar and a store to buy souvenirs…Totally recommended! 🌋
Excellent 45 minute show, consists of an intro, film of Icelands volcanic history to present day & then the pouring of recreated lava. Could feel the heat whilst that was taking place. Interesting explanations of what was happening. Adjoining the cinema like area (80 approx capacity+balcony) where the lava show takes place is a small bar, they serve coffee too & have a decent sized shop making it worthwhile arriving half an hour before the show.
The lava show was a cool experience. They would explain what they were doing and important things to know while putting on a cool show. Would recommend checking it out. The show itself if only about 45 minutes and is pretty far from downtown but you can take the city bus and it'll drop you a minute from the lava show.
The lava show was brilliant! I was a bit sceptical beforehand about whether it would be worth the money, but thoroughly enjoyed it! The video at the start was really interesting, and seeing real molton lava was such a unique and amazing experience! It was really fascinating, jaw-dropping and I highly recommend doing this while in Reykjavik!
I got the premium ticket and was directed to the upstairs bar to enjoy a tasty drink that was included. I got the Magma Mule which was just Icelandic vodka and ginger beer; VERY tasty. One thing: I didn't realize that we could bring our drinks into the show. I drank half my cocktail relatively quickly, so I was STRUGGLING during the long intro video. Normally I would be into it and learning about volcanoes, but I was too lit to focus. LOL I had fun either way! When it was time for the lava to come out I was wide awake again. Our host, Ian, did a great job educating us (as was expected from a former teacher) and throwing in dad jokes. Very cool seeing lava in action and learning about its properties. If you're into geology, def check it out. We also got a piece of the volcanic glass after the show.
