    This was an amazing experience! The guide we had were funny, kept our spirit up and was a really good educator. Very interesting and well worth the trip. We were there at 6pm, and we were 8 ppl waling the cave. We went in about 800 meters. The cave is quite big! There were a part, about 5/7 meters where you had to bend down a bit, but other then that, not claustrophobic at all. You get to see alot of interesting things, learn a lot about the area, the cave, how things are made and even tutch and hold different things from the cave. It is a bit cold, so yes, do have warm clothes if you are not used to it beeing cold. The trip/walk takes around 1,5 hours and you don't have to be fit to walk the walk. PS: put all your valuables and rings in a pocket, you dont want to loose it in here. Not everything is easy to retrieve. If you are thinking about it, just DO IT!

    We had a great adventure exploring Víðgelmir Cave. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained the cave’s history and geology in an interesting way. The cave is impressively long, with spectacular lava formations and unique geological features. It was a fascinating experience and definitely worth visiting if you’re interested in Iceland’s volcanic landscape. Highly recommended!

    The Cave Vídgelmir is a worthwhile stop while visiting Iceland and a fascinating way to experience the country’s volcanic geology up close. This privately owned attraction offers guided tours through an impressive lava cave, and no caving experience is required. Helmets with lights are provided, and much of the route follows a wooden boardwalk, making the experience very accessible if you can easily navigate many stairways. Our guide conducted the tour in English and was both knowledgeable and entertaining. There is also a small interpretive center with a few displays and restrooms. A very interesting experience overall, especially for anyone interested in Iceland’s unique geology. Highly recommended!

    What an amazing experience exploring the lava cave! The tour was fascinating from start to finish, and the cave itself is truly impressive with an incredible atmosphere. It was such a special opportunity to learn more about the cave, its origins, and the natural forces that shaped it over time. A special thank you to Jan for making the tour so engaging, informative, and fun. His knowledge about the cave, it's geological formation, and it's history was outstanding, and he shared everything with such enthusiasm that every minute was interesting. He also had a great sense of humor, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re visiting, I highly recommend taking this tour!

Airport transfers — questions people ask

How do I get from Keflavík Airport to Reykjavík?

It is about 50 kilometres and 45 minutes by road; there is no train. Scheduled airport coaches run to the BSÍ terminal after every arrival and are the cheapest option. Private transfers (/experience/942190/, /experience/1193487/) meet you at the door and drop you at your hotel, worth it for families or late arrivals. Taxis are expensive. If you are stopping at the Blue Lagoon, book a transfer that includes it (/experience/1036423/).

How early should I be at Keflavík Airport for my flight?

Two and a half hours before a European flight and three before North America; the airport is small and queues bunch around the morning and afternoon departure waves. From central Reykjavík allow 45 to 60 minutes' driving plus a buffer in winter weather. That means leaving your hotel three and a half to four hours before departure. Coaches and transfers work backwards from your flight time when you book.

How do I get to Landmannalaugar without a 4x4?

By highland bus. From late June to September, scheduled transfers run from Reykjavík to Landmannalaugar (/experience/247406/, /experience/914986/) and back, about four hours each way on gravel and river crossings. The return-in-a-day option (/experience/270187/) gives you several hours at the site. Rental cars without 4x4 are not insured on these roads and get stuck. If you are hiking Laugavegur, the luggage transfer (/experience/1036525/) moves your bag hut to hut.

Is a private airport transfer worth it?

For three or more people, or a night arrival, yes. The coach drops you at a terminal or a hotel bus stop and you may need a shuttle or a walk with luggage; a private car goes door to door and waits if your flight is late. For a couple on a daytime flight with light bags, the coach is fine and much cheaper. Check the tour page for what happens if your flight is delayed.
