AH15  Iceland From Below All year round

Highlights:
  • Lava tubes
  • Craters
  • Stalactites 


Tour Description:

Available throughout the year, this tour takes you to unique sights of Iceland’s most spectacular lava tube caves and craters.

We will enter through narrow cave entrances and find they reveal extraordinary scenery of colors and lava formations. These beautiful, natural phenomena were created when the surface lava hardened and the fluid lava continued to flow in tubes underneath.

You will also see natural stalactites and many different rock formations making this nearly an indescribable experience. The caves become wide and high and in many places the floor is quite even. However, the trip can become rather difficult so we recommend you bring good walking shoes or hiking boots which are suitable for uneven lava surfaces.

Respect for nature and safety are our main concerns. There are no handrails, lights or any pre-installed tools in or around the caves.
We rely completely on the equipment we carry and that people respect our guidelines. This tour is suitable for all who can walk on uneven surfaces and at times, crawling on all fours to get through narrow places.
 
Please note:  This tour is not recommended for children under the age of 10.

The guide was good but the cave is not very interesting. There was an exit point after 40 min. in the cave and I took it. Avoid if you are not into crawling on your knees in dark caves.

Good tour. Does exactly what it says. You spend around an hour scrambling through a lava tunnel. It isn't easy, but almost anyone could manage it. It isn't particularly claustrophobic, and when the lights go out, by arrangement for effect, it is quite . . . "thought provoking". At one or two points you are given the choice of routes. I'm 68 and I did it with my grandson, aged 16 (I would have really appreciated if the tour had the half price for U17s, that some other Grayline tours have). It was his first "underground walk". At the start he asked why we needed overalls and gloves, which along with hard hats were issued by the guide: by the end he realised why. We were in the lava fields which was good, but while we saw volcanic peaks around, I don't remember any craters. A couple of photostops of 5 minutes would have been appreciated.

i thought i was crazy at the beginning, climbing down the cave going into the dark. It's proven a very enjoyable worthy trip.
