Step inside a dormant volcano and explore its magma chamber by booking this incredible guided excursion. Those looking to learn more about Iceland’s unique geology should book this exciting tour now.

Your tour starts when your driver picks you up from your accommodation or an agreed meeting point in Reykjavik. You’ll meet your expert English-speaking guide and the other guests on the tour.

Get comfortable as you make the journey to Thrihnukagigur volcano. The journey is around 22 miles (36 kilometers) and should take around 45 minutes, depending on weather and traffic conditions.

When you arrive, it’s an hour-long hike through a lava field to the entrance to the volcano. It’s a relatively easy walk, and anyone with a moderate fitness level should be able to do it.

You should wear warm, waterproof clothing and good hiking shoes. The weather in Iceland can be changeable, so you should wear layers that you can put on or remove if you need to.

Your guide will give you a thorough safety briefing and all the gear you’ll need, including a helmet and harness. You will descend approximately 393 feet (120 meters) into the volcano.

Thrihnukagigur volcano is one of Iceland’s most unique geological sites. Unlike most volcanoes, its magma chamber remains empty, allowing visitors to descend into its vast interior.

This rare phenomenon occurred because the magma drained away after its last eruption over 4,000 years ago, leaving behind a massive underground cavern with striking red, yellow, and blue rock formations.

Inside, the size of the chamber is impressive, reaching above the height of the Statue of Liberty, and the ground space is equivalent to three basketball courts.

Scientists and geologists study Thrihnukagigur volcano to understand volcanic activity better, as its structure provides a unique look at what happens beneath the surface.

Thrihnukagigur volcano is one of the only places on Earth where you can enter a volcano’s magma chamber. It is a popular attraction for geology and adventure and a unique activity to do during your vacation in Iceland.

The experience is available only in summer, as harsh winter conditions make access difficult.

When you’ve looked around at the spectacular formations inside the volcano, it’s time to head back up to the Earth’s surface. You’ll get back on the coach, and your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.

Enjoy the unique experience of exploring the empty magma chamber of a dormant volcano. Check availability now by choosing a date.
