Wonderful experience - This was great to see real lava so close up. I was torn between seeing the show in Vik or Reykjavik and I’m glad that the Vik show worked out because there is deep history with the Katla volcano there.

We gotta go! - incredible experience.
to be honest the explanation of the volcanoes is a little scary because it explains the situation in Iceland and especially that at any moment something can happen. but after seeing and living the experience of the flowing lava I highly recommend. the experience is incredible and the explanations also I learned a lot of things

Wonder - Wow! What a great show. Martin was so informative. My neurodivergent children found it fascinating and loved that you could touch the witches hair and found the atmosphere so welcoming. Thanx again

Best iceland show - Luis explained everything very clearly from the beginning and made the show very engaging and enjoyable. On top of how well it was explained, the show itself was incredible, with moments that were truly surprising and with unique things I had never seen before. Definitely a highly recommended experience.

A must do while in Vik - This is a fun, informative demo which is great for all ages. It’s randomly in the same building as a soup restaurant (which smelled amazing!). Our host Andrew (not his real name but he told us to use it for ease) did a great job. Especially as there was a screaming toddler whose selfish family decided not to leave the room with him and made us all endure it for the duration… he kept his cool and did so well.
