This combination tour takes you to the Golden Circle Direct & the Lava Tunnel Raufarhólshellir cave. Experience a new world of Iceland's natural wonders.
Our guide to The Golden Circle & Lava Tunnel
Start the day witnessing the inner workings of a volcanic eruption, walking the path of lava that flowed thousands of years ago. The lava tunnel is one of the biggest in Iceland and can reach up to 30 metres wide and 10 metres high. In the past the ceiling of the lava tube caved in near the entrance, creating beautiful columns of light along the tunnel walls from the sunlight above. These fantastic ranges of colours are caused by the light hitting different mineral types in the rock wall.
On the tour you get to experience and sense the forces of nature like you have never done before. Learn new things and step out of your comfort zone. Scenes from the Hollywood movie Noah, with Anthony Hopkins, were shot in this lava cave.
The next part of the tour takes you to three of Iceland’s most stunning sights; Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir geothermal area and Þingvellir National Park.
The Geysir geothermal area boasts spouting springs, including Strokkur, the most active geyser in Iceland. All geysers in the world get their name from the now mostly dormant Geysir hot spring, from which the area also gets its name. At Gullfoss you are given the opportunity to stand next to the amazing waterfall, watching enormous quantities of water tumble violently into a deep, meandering gorge.
