The 1360 metre (4500 ft) tunnel was formed during the Leitahraun eruption, which occurred about 5200 years ago and is a unique Icelandic natural attraction.

One of the tunnel’s highlights is the area where the ceiling has caved in. There, columns of light come through and shane on the vivid palette of colours caused by the different mineral types in the rock. It’s a truly fascinating sight!
It can get cold and slippery underground, so make sure you wear stable walking shoes and lots of warm, layered clothing!

Your day begins with an exploration of Raufarhólshellir lava tunnels, a natural wonder that has been evolving for over 5,000 years. This 1,360-meter (4,500 ft) tunnel, shaped by the Leitahraun eruption, offers a truly unique Icelandic attraction. Guided by an expert, you’ll traverse the mesmerising underground landscape, where the tunnel’s breathtaking formation is highlighted by the beautiful lighting. The winter season adds a touch of magic as stunning ice sculptures grace the cave entrance. Discover this hidden world with ease, thanks to well-placed footbridges and paths. Helmets and lights are provided, but we recommend wearing warm overalls and sturdy, ankle-supporting shoes for maximum comfort and safety.
The adventure continues as we journey to the Old Harbour in downtown Reykjavík, the launch point for a thrilling Whale Watching tour with Special Tours Wildlife Adventures.
