Description

Begin with a pickup from your selected location in Reykjavík. Head to the Blue Mountains, where you’ll explore Raufarhólshellir, a mesmerizing lava tube cave shaped by an ancient volcanic eruption over 5000 years ago. Receive your gear and a safety briefing before descending into the cave. Marvel at the kaleidoscope of colors adorning the walls—mineral deposits revealing emeralds, rubies, turquoise, and lilacs, each evidence of volcanic activity. Your expert guide will illuminate the geological processes that shaped this landscape. After your cave adventure, journey into the countryside to chase the elusive Aurora. Your experienced team will find the perfect spot for you to witness the Northern Lights, providing cozy blankets and warm treats for your comfort. Traveling by minibus affords you access to offbeat locations inaccessible to larger buses. Throughout the journey, your guide will capture a complimentary photo of you with the aurora, ensuring this unforgettable moment is preserved. After an adventure-packed evening, you'll be dropped off in Reykjavík at your selected drop-off location.
