Caving & ATV Adventure Tour from Reykjavik – Full-Day Experience

Explore the hidden underworld of Iceland's magical lava tube caves.

About this experience

Join us for an action-packed day with two adrenaline-filled activities conveniently packed into an 8-hour adventure departing from Reykjavik. Your day begins with a pickup from our caving partners at 8:00 AM. They will guide you into the heart of nature to explore Raufarhólshellir, one of Iceland's longest and most renowned lava caves. Witness the fascinating path of an ancient volcanic eruption as you delve into the depths of this natural wonder. The Leitahraun eruption, which occurred around 5200 years ago, sculpted the landscape, leaving behind a mesmerizing geological marvel.

Following the caving adventure, our partners will drop you off at a designated meeting point for a well-deserved lunch break. Then, Safari Quads will take over. We'll pick you up and transport you to our basecamp. From there, embark on a thrilling 1-hour ATV adventure through the Icelandic wilderness, offering unparalleled views overlooking Reykjavik.
