Iceland · LAVA TUNNEL TOURS
The tunnels are what is left after a lava river drained away under its own crust. These 8 go underground at Raufarholshellir near Reykjavik and at Vatnshellir out on Snaefellsnes, and they hold the same temperature whatever the weather is doing above.

“The tunnel is very well maintained and the guide is very knowledgeable and informative. We were a few minutes lated and they were very gracious to wait up and let us still join. The only thing I didn’t quite like was the group size was quite large and got crowded inside the tunnel. There is also very little time actual time by yourself inside the tunnel. I wish the tour was a bit longer.”
