Vatnshellir Cave

Really neat little cave tour, the guide was great, very informative, the tours in the winter only go out like every hour or so, I didn't buy tickets ahead of time, but I do think it would be recommended to ensure the best experience. This is the most reasonably priced cave tour I've found on my trip to Iceland. Because I went in the winter there were icicles on the ceilings and floors in some parts that looked like stalactites and stalagmites, but again, they were just icicles.

Really interesting tour of the cave! Guide was knowledgeable and I learned a lot. Tour was about 45 minutes and there was time given to take pictures in each of the three caverns. Helmet and flashlight are provided by the tour. Make sure to wear good footwear and warm clothes. Gloves are nice for the stair rails because they're quite cold.

Interesting tour conducted by a knowledgeable guide. Helmets and flashlights were provided during the tour. This tour was a bit simple and didn’t last long, I thought the cost was a bit high for a 20 minute tour and it was hard to hear the guide in several sections because the cave was narrow and the group was a little too large for the space. There are challenging spiral staircases that would not be good for small children or those unable to climb/descended uneven stairs. Overall, a better value than other cave tours on Iceland. A single restroom is available at the park office about a mile away, the cliffs and lighthouse there are a great stop in this area.

Very exciting tour! We have spent 45 minutes in a lava cave that is 35 meters deep. I loved our guide, he was very knowledgeable. Tours are conducted every hour, no need to buy tickets in advance. I felt like I am in the womb of Mother Earth. Don’t go if you are having knees problems or having extreme fear of hight, darkness or claustrophobia.

Sept.24 We really wanted to book this tour, but unfortunately in weekends it closes early, so there wasn't enough time to do. However we were able to take a few pictures.

Embarking on a cave exploration can be an exhilarating experience, especially when it involves navigating the rugged terrain and ascending or descending the winding staircases that nature has sculpted. Our guide was a fountain of knowledge, turning the journey into an educational adventure. In March 2024, the stark beauty of the snow-draped mountains provided a breathtaking backdrop to the dark, mysterious lava caves. This is a must-visit attraction for anyone traveling to this region of Iceland, offering a unique blend of natural wonders and learning opportunities. I recommend booking in advance as there were people showing up and could not get served.

Great little lava tube and cool experience going down two sets of spiral stairs cases into two separate areas of the cave. Our guide was awesome and very knowledgeable and funny.

We walked in and were able to get our party of four immediately on the tour starting at the top of the hour. We felt very safe, the guide was very knowledgeable, and we had a wonderful experience.
