Lava caving / Hellaferðir

  • In this tour we will explore with you one of many caves that the south part of Iceland has to offer. We will share with you and explore the geological history of the caves as we travel into the darkness with our lights shining the way. You will witness spectacular lava formations as we work our way into the cave. In the end of the cave we will stop for lunch and offer you a chance to taste some of the old Icelandic traditional food as well as telling you few stories about the trolls that are believed to use the caves as their habitats
     
    We offer two versions of this tour one where we don´t go as deep into the cave and another where we go in more difficult caves and go deeper into the cave, let us know what you think you would like better?
     
    Other tour options:
    ·         3in1 tour, will offer you lava caving, super jeep, earth cooking and hotspring bathing
    ·         If you like to add an simple earth cooked lunch or dinner after the lava cave then we recommend the Lava caving & Hotspring cooking tour that we offer.
    ·         Or combine the lava tour with the famous Golden circle tour.

    Við munum fræða gesti okkar um tilurð og jarðfræði hellisins sem og bragða eitthvað af Íslenskum mat meðan við segjum ykkur nokkrar valdar sögur af tröllum og mönnum sem höfðust við í hellunum til forna.

    Við bjóðum þessa ferð í tveim erfiðleikastigum í annari förum við inn í lengri helli en í hinni inn í styttri helli, allt eftir óskum og getu viðskiptavinarins
