Really interesting start on our trip to the land of Fire and Ice - We thoroughly enjoyed the Lava show. Madison was engaging and informative. We liked to see the lava bubbling and being pulled apart as it hardened incl. Pele's hair formations. We did this on our first day in Iceland and it provided an interesting start to our trip.

Must do! - I’m not sure who liked this more, me and my husband or our two kids! It was mesmerizing. I was shocked how much of a thrill I personally felt when the lava came into the room. I figured it would be interesting but I wasn’t expecting to be giddy. It was VERY cool, absolutely worth it.

Great show - Cool experience, well explained and questions answered brilliantly. Can definitely be recommended. The presentation is held in English and lasts about 50 minutes. A great tip for us.

Educational and Entertaining - Very educational show with a great presenter. It was great to be able to see lava close up. I would suggest getting the premium package as it is not much more than a standard ticket.

Must see in the land of Fire and Ice - Iceland, a geological wonderland where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet! 🔥❄️ This dynamic intersection has created a landscape of fire and ice unlike any otherM And at the mesmerising Lava Show in Vik, we witnessed the fiery heart of Iceland, as molten rock, fresh from the Earth's depths, flowed and crackled with primal energy.

Entertaining and informative - Hostess was knowledgeable and charming. Good sense of humour too. We were in the front row so the flowing lava was really hot. No bad seats in the house though. Hydrate before entering. Loved the pun at the WC’s: lavatory.

Okay experience - We went because we had some extra time. It was just okay The only fun part was when you can see the actual lava flowing down . The rest of the show was a little boring
