This unique tour combines two of Iceland’s most powerful natural phenomena: volcanic activity and the aurora borealis. Begin your evening in ReykjavĂk’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 ReykjavĂk’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.

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.
