Once you get to the cave location you will meet our guides in a small house that is located right above the parking lot. There you will tell our guide the name you used to book your tickets.

Venture into the ancient depths of Vatnshellir, a lava tube steeped in Icelandic history, nestled just 500 meters from an age-old volcanic crater. Formed 8,000 years ago in the fiery heart of a volcanic eruption, this subterranean wonder stretches 200 meters long and plunges to a depth of 35 meters.

Immerse yourself in a geologic journey as you traverse the lava tube, where the cool crust of a once molten river still holds the vibrant minerals of its fiery past. Let the expert guides whisk you away on a fantastical journey, weaving tales of Icelandic folklore and the mischievous trolls that once called these cavernous homes.

At the tube's deepest point, surrender to the thrill of absolute darkness. With the flick of a switch, your surroundings fade into an inky abyss, offering an immersive experience not to be missed. Don't just visit Iceland, delve beneath its surface with a ticket to Vatnshellir – because the best stories are found in the places that are hardest to reach.
