"Explore Raufarhólshellir, one of the longest lava tunnels in Iceland. A lava tunnel is the fascinating cave system left behind by a previous volcanic eruption. The site shows were lava once oozed through the landscape.
With a helmet and headlamp, see some of the tunnel’s most interesting features and learn about the changing colors of the lava rock formations from a guide.
You can choose to meet at the entrance to the tunnel for those with a car or be transferred from Reykjavik. "

"The Lava Tunnel is another great sight to explore not far from Reykjavik. Just a 30 minute drive away, you can squeeze this adventure in before lunch. See where the lava once flowed during an eruption over 5,000 years ago, leaving a rainbow tunnel behind. Exploring this feat during winter is especially gorgeous, as you’ll be able to see stalagmites and stalactites of ice formations. "
