Having heard of "Inside the Volcano" online, we decided to reserve our place during our visit to Iceland. Without a doubt one of the most spectacular things a person can do without exposing yourself to danger. The descent into the volcano is accomplished by being lowered in a device similar to a window washer's platform operated by a fellow who... More

As soon as I heard that this was being offered when I went to Iceland last summer, I signed up right away and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was an incredibly exciting experience. Even though we were down there for an hour it felt like mere minutes, I would have been happy to spend more time there,... More

Accend deep into a dormant volcano. The colors on the lava walls are truly amazing. Spent an hour down there which felt like only 15 minutes. My girlfriend is clostrauphobic among other phobias. I bought us the trip and she felt she had to go as this was probably a once in a lifetime thing. She was scared on the... More

This simple sentence captures the amazing adventure of this trip: "I have been inside a volcano". Inside a volcano. How crazy is that? There is nothing more for me to say than simply, book it! An amazing adventure awaits.

Would highly recommend this experience for its unique qualities. We did this trip with our 11 year old son, he loved it. The 2.7 km trek there can be a challenge, but, I did it 7 months after a second hip replacement. It is very exciting to descend into a rare place like this on earth. It is wondrous and... More

Being lowered into the heart of a volcano on a re-engineered window cleaners platform is an experience you will not forget. The inside was amazing and so beautiful. It's difficult to express how wonderful this trip was, all I can say is book it and you won't regret it.

This tour was one of my favourites in Iceland. I went in August 2012, during the first Summer that they were taking visitors to Thrihnukagigur. I got the bus from Reykjavik and it was a very short trip. We then hiked for about 50 mins from the road to the volcano. It's not an easy walk, the terrain is pretty... More

THe tour was well organized and had fantastic and fit tour guides. I forgot the woman's name who directed the tour, but anyway she was great with the explanations of the volcano and the topography. The guides were very concerned for our safety. The 'meat soup' was delicious and I think I found a recipe on-line for it. We were... More

This was an outstanding experience in a visit that included so many thrilling moments all over Iceland. If you can make it here, by all means go! The volcano visit is so rare and exceptional that we were captivated. The guides are welcoming and very well prepared. A very nice touch is that at the base camp a traditional Icelandic... More
