Vatnshellir Cave do not allow visitors to use their restrooms. Despite the fact that my husband is at this moment doing a lava tour with you. I am told that I must drive to the Visitors centre further on. I do not have permission to drive in Iceland. I'm sorry Cave Vatnshellir, I think this is a very poor show on your part!

Expensive for the experience Three lava caves with nothing extraordinary about them. The same kind of caves as in France or Belgium, except with lava instead of rock Disappointed

Nice, but short. Also, not for those who have issues with uneven surfaces or stairs. There were a number of folks on our tour that struggled with this.

We arrived already rain-soaked from some stormy weather that blew in quickly, to the receiving area inside a small, heated structure. There we found some interesting artifacts and backstories to the origin and exploration of the cave. They say that the Snæfellsjökull volcano system gave inspiration to the entryway in the novel Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, and there’s some framed info supporting that, although Verne never visited himself. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and seemed to understand the very ideas that would pop into our head as we navigated the barely-visible, craggy, wet cave. Vatnshellir is actually a lava tube cave that formed approx. 8000 years ago. You'll find consistent but chilly conditions, no natural light, and an immediate one-hundred plus foot descent down a metal, silo-style stairwell. There are a few larger lava chamber rooms, but thankfully, you're never actually spelunking; no ropes or crawling through mud or into claustrophobic crawlspaces. It's more of a guided lava walk, helmets and headlamps included. We really enjoyed our time here; the guide was fantastic and created some drama in his storytelling and the way he presented the cave to the group, in a safe and purposeful fashion. The entrance to the cave itself can be slippery, obviously, but it’s very near to the parking area, which is right off the main road. Book ahead if you can; we thought it was one of the more unique experiences that you can only replicate in a few places in Iceland, so well worth the price, and it only takes an hour out of your day.

Exciting to see the cave. Learned much from the guide. Children aged 7 and 9 liked the tour.

This was such a cool adventure to do to see inside of a lava cave, the tour was 45 minutes long, our tour guide was helpful and informative on how it was formed and showed us the cool things inside of the cave. Highly recommend.

The national park is incredible and this tour is a real treat. Especially good for a family activity when the outdoor weather is a little unfriendly. Lovely guide and the total darkness for one minute was a rare experience. For those with claustrophobia, there's plenty of space. Definitely a vertical experience on the stairs.
