Lava Show - This was a great experience. I recommend doing the premium experience so you could look at the behind the scenes. The lava was amazing to see.

Enjoyed the premium upgrade - We did the optional premium upgrade and found it worth the additional charge. We were able to go into a lounge to wait for the show to start. We also received a good size lave rock. The ticket also included seating in the balcony.

Loved this show! - My son and I attended this on our first night in Iceland. We had purchased the upgraded seats. Were sent to the private lounge where we exchanged bed out included drink tokens For 2 cokes. Chose our seats and settled in.
Neil the "Lava Master" Did a wonderful job.
Informative , fun and unique: We sent the other people in our group the next day. In addition at the end of the show, we were given a Lava rock in a little
Bag to take home. I can't wait to share it with my students.

An absolute must if you are visiting Iceland. You will not be disappointed. - A truly amazing experience to be within metres of flowing lava! The show is entertaining, educational, informative and 100% worthwhile!
Even if you are planning to visit the lava fields, I would highly recommend seeing this show for the information you will learn.
We have 12 year old boys and for them it was fascinating and fully immersive. You don’t get that in the classroom!
It’s not cheap, but good value considering the whole experience.
Show last approximately an hour.

Must see while in Vik - This was a fun and informative experience. So glad we included this during our stay in Vik. We enjoyed the story/movie included and found the lava to be fun and interesting to watch as the show was presented.

Educational and Entertaining - Worth adding to your itinerary but not sure the premium tickets necessarily worth the extra expense.
Loads of previously unknown facts about Lava now known and it was all really interesting.
Fascinating to see the lava flow and feel the heat from the premium seats balcony. Shane my camera wasn't really good enough to do it justice.

Disappointing for the price! - So disappointing for the price!!!
They allow the children to then make reflections at the slightest agitation, shameful!
