Quad & Caves is our most popular multi activity day tour from Reykjavik and a great value for money. The lava tunnel exploration is a relatively mild caving experience, suitable for everyone in a regular physical shape.
You will begin the day speeding accross the beautiful country side, ending up on a mountain top with panoramic view of Reykajvík City and the surrounding mountains. After this exhilarating experience we will dive into the ground to explore an ancient lava tube.
Something more than the typical Iceland experience
The cave is about 900 meter long, it formed when the surface of the lava flow dried up, and the hot lava kept flowing beneath just like an underground river. The darkness is so dense that if it weren't for your headlights you would have no use for your eyes whatsoever. Walking in this tunnel is a unique experience, when you point your lights at the walls and insides of the lava tube, you will be amazed by the beautiful rock formations and colours - red, blue, violet, even metal! In cold winter days the ice formations are so stunning, like a glistening diamond hue.
Such an exotic lava caving is an activity not offered in many countries, yet another gift that Iceland has to offer.
