A MUST GO WHETHER YOU LIKE THIS SORT OF THING OF NOT! :) - Top 3 experiences of everything we did! And we did a LOT. First & foremost our guide was EXCEPTIONAL! Literally the best guide I have ever had. He was HILARIOUS, fun, super interesting, and really passionate about what he does. That was really infectious and everyone on the tour loved him. THE EXPERIENCE: I've been to a few tunnel tours, crawled around through holes ans sure thats sort of fun, but i was a bit 'meh' about it all. THIS TOUR - was amazing, super interesting, so many things I'd never seen before, heard about before, and i don't want to ruin the surprise but i promise you, even if this isnt your thing, what they do at the end of the trip - is an experience you won't get anywhere else! Thank you to our wonderful guide and the team for such a special place - heres just a couple photos, i dont want to ruin that surprise for you either!

A must-do when visiting Iceland! - An unbelievable experience with Arctic Adventures. We got picked up from Bus Stop 8, and had not only a lovely driver, Wendy, but our tour guide for the lava tunnel was amazing. His name was Benjamin and he was a seriously funny guy. An unreal activity and I cannot wait for my next visit to Iceland to do the extreme lava tunnel experience.

Great experience - Stunning experience, great guide. Learned a lot. Unbelievable beauty. Walk could be a little slippery despite crampons. Icy between bus and entrance. Quite cold so wrap up warm. Worth a visit.

Super interesting tour! - Goan was a super informative and really funny guide! He was super quirky. At. some point, he turned off the lights in the cave, and was offering to take pictures of everyone! Cave itself was gorgeous, it is also extremely cold so be sure to dress warm!
