Lava Show

I had high expectations, and the experience was better than my expectations. Great show. Very interesting. I had the premium seats, and it was worth it. It was interesting to see behind the scenes for a short time after the show. The presenter was funny and kept the audience engaged. Definately worth it.

We had a really great time at this show. The kids enjoyed it a lot, and the presenter was very knowledgeable. It was amazing seeing him manipulate the lace and feeling the heat from it. Fun and educational!

Luis was an EXCELLENT host at the Lava Show in Vik. Watching the lava, and listening to Luis manipulate it while explaining what we were observing was fantastic! We purchased the extra backstage peak which put it over the top. (My engineering son had questions!) It's fascinating how they get it all to work, and the show was a fun experience. To be around hot lava and feel the warmth with that little amount really puts it in perspective.

A very interesting experience. The gentleman leading the show is very knowledgeable and tells many interesting facts. I really highly recommend it. You have to be careful, however, if you sit in the front row because you can get hit by a shard of lava. During the performance you can take photos and videos. If you buy a premium ticket, you sit higher, get a beer and a piece of lava from the show as a souvenir.

Lava Show was the highlight of our first day in Reykjavik. We ended up getting into port earlier than expected that day and the folks at Lava Show were kind enough to change our viewing to an earlier time (allowing us more time to explore the city afterwards). We got the Premium tickets, and it is worth every bit of the extra money. The view from above is amazing. The included drink and waiting area upstairs were also VERY nice. The people working there were so very friendly and accommodating. It was a pleasure just to be among them. The show is super informative and visually spectacular. We also enjoyed being able to go backstage and see the furnace as part of the Premium ticket. Finally, we now have a cherished souvenir from our visit in the form of two lava rocks (also my wife bought some jewelry while we were there which was very nice). I would say that Lava Show is a must see for anyone going to Reykjavik.

The lava show was awesome! I got premium tickets so we got a free drink, seats up top and a tour of the furnace after. It was so cool to hear about the history of their lava and the explosions in Iceland and then to feel the heat and see the lava. The presenter was awesome and answered all the questions. Highly recommended, something unlike I’ve ever seen before!

The lava show was awesome! Ian was really funny and made the show super entertaining. We really enjoyed it. The gift shop was really cute and had lots of different things to buy. Was a once in a lifetime experience for sure!

What a fantastic experience at the Lava Show! This was such an entertaining and educational show, which left me wanting to learn more about Iceland’s volcanic terrain. Our host Samantha did a very nice job explaining complex geological information in an engaging way. Well done to Neal who cleans and reheats the lava in their epic furnace every night! If you are on the fence about buying tickets, go for it. This was our favorite activity in downtown Reykjavík. If you can swing it, I highly recommend upgrading to the “Premium” show experience so you can sit in the balcony, enjoy the backstage tour, and more. Pro Tips: - It’s a 30 minute walk from Rainbow Street if you want to arrive on foot - Don’t bring small children. There was an infant at the show and it was very distracting. - Try on the lava suit upstairs!
