Fascinating - Very interesting, interactive show with a knowledgeable speaker who was engaging and fun to listen to. This show is under 1 hr but allows you to get up close with Lava and understand more about its behaviour.

Bucket list must - It was a great experience. I got the VIP ticket which was totally worth it. I got a free drink, seat on the balcony, and a behind the scenes look. The geologist leading the event was very knowledgeable and funny. Seeing the lava flow with the lights turned off was truly inspiring. It is the only place in the world that does a lava show.

Must do in Reykjavik - informative and spectacular - We did the premium experience with the lounge, drink, upper balcony seats, behind the scenes look and lava gift and it was fantastic, well worth the extra. Ian the demonstrator was fantastic, really informative and fantastic to see and feel! The lounge is very comfortable and the look behind the scenes was really interesting and was great to be able to take a souvenir. Would really recommend this, whether classic or premium it's an experience not to be missed.

Informative and visually amazing - Neil was our showmam today. He was very welcoming and had good charisma - at some points it felt like we were getting standup comedy alongside our lava experience. The lava itself was amazing and made for a great show. The question segment was very informative. Ive come out a regular volcanologist.

Excellent experience - well worth doing - Definitely worth doing and early in your trip as it gives great context for when you go and see volcanoes/glaciers etc, it’s a fascinating opportunity to see something most of us will never see.
The host was originally from about 2 miles from
Where we live in the UK which the kids loved and my daughter who is studying for her Geography GCSE and was alight with excitement as she recognised and understood some of the terms. It’s pitched really well so that the general public can understand but there is plenty of opportunity for deeper knowledge if you are more interested in the in depth geology/science.
It was packed out so book and arrive early to get a good seat! It is pricy for an hour but so is everything in Iceland!
