Itinerary
Start your day with a scenic drive through Iceland’s rugged lava landscapes on your way to Þríhnúkagígur volcano.
Upon arrival, you’ll take a guided hike across a vast lava field to reach the volcano’s crater. From there, you’ll be lowered 120 meters down into the colorful magma chamber by an open cable lift—an experience found nowhere else on Earth.
Spend time exploring the inside of the dormant volcano, surrounded by towering rock walls shaped by ancient volcanic activity.
After this unforgettable underground adventure, you’ll hike back and return to Reykjavík, taking in the dramatic scenery along the way.
