It is located just 30 minutes from Reykjav\u00edk and is easily accessed year round.<\/p>\n<p>The Lava Tunnel is also know to Icelanders as Raufarholshellir, a cave created by volcanic eruption about 5.200 years ago. Take a tour through this extraordinary natural phenomenon under a guidance from experienced guide.<br \/>The tunnel is covered in large rocks and difficult to pass. That is why paths and a footbridge have been constructed so it is easily accessible when doing the Lava Tunnel Tour. Impressive lighting in this part of the tunnel highlights the changing colors and clearly shows the poweful seismic activity that formed the tunnel.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=&#8221;236443,236444,236445,236446&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.bokun.io\/assets\/javascripts\/apps\/build\/BokunWidgetsLoader.js?bookingChannelUUID=b5c800bd-7033-4670-b88a-6313ed4082ac\" async><\/script><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     <!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"bokunWidget\" data-src=\"https:\/\/widgets.bokun.io\/online-sales\/b5c800bd-7033-4670-b88a-6313ed4082ac\/experience-calendar\/17218\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->    <noscript>Please enable javascript in your browser to book<\/noscript><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f4f4f4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|10px||20px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"duration\">Tour details<\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Duration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The total tour is approximately 3.0 hours with one hour in the cave.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>8:30-8:50am (or 12:30-12:50) from your hotel, hostel or guesthouse in Reykjav\u00edk.
