About this experience
↓
This evening small-group tour combines two of Iceland's most compelling natural experiences: a guided walk through Raufarhólshellir, the fourth-longest lava tube in Iceland, followed by a countryside search for the Northern Lights.
Your expert guide collects you by minibus from your Reykjavík accommodation and drives you to Raufarhólshellir lava tunnel, located roughly 45 minutes from the city. Inside, you'll venture up to 900 metres into the cave, taking in dramatic lava formations and vivid volcanic colours under the light of your included headtorch. The cave section of the tour lasts approximately one hour and is rated very easy — suitable for most fitness levels and families with children aged 6 and above.
After the cave, the group heads into the Icelandic countryside in search of the Aurora Borealis. Your guide actively monitors conditions and positions the group for the best possible viewing. Whenever the lights appear, the guide photographs participants with the aurora — images you can access free of charge after the tour. Hot chocolate is served while you watch the sky.
The full experience runs approximately 5 hours. Because the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, visibility depends on weather and solar activity. If the aurora is not visible during your tour, you are entitled to join a future Northern Lights minibus departure free of charge — valid for 3 years with unlimited attempts.
