For spelunkers and potholers, Iceland has scores of caves, large and small,
deep and shallow, to be explored. Some caves may be explored without a guide and many
agencies offer cave exploration tours for others.
The Cave
Hailed as the mightiest of Iceland's caves, its diversity and grandeur is unrivalled. This makes for an experience not to be forgotten. Just shy of 1600 meters / 5250ft, the cave features amazing colours and lava formations that lurk in the depths of the earth.
We offer a family friendly tour that all generations can enjoy, thanks to our all new signature walkway and feature lighting. For those who desire more physical activity we offer a half day tour to the caves end.
Caves are often dark, tight and uninviting places; how ever this is not the case in Víðgelmir lava cave. What used to be slow traveled rugged terrain is now easy and enjoyable. Leading from one great hall to the next our path is lit slightly flowing through this magical underworld.

Summit Adventure Guides
A natural wonder - Vatnshellir Cave was formed when molten lava rushed downhill in a fiery lava river, creating a solid crust as it cooled. Once the eruption finished, the molten lava beneath the crust drained away, leaving behind an intricate hollow tube. Today, this underground marvel is accessible to those eager to explore the heart of Iceland's volcanic landscape.
Guided by Summit Adventure Guides, the sole licensed operator of Vatnshellir Cave tours, you'll embark on a 45-minute journey into this natural wonder. The tour is suitable for most adventurers, though participants must be able to walk unsupported on uneven surfaces and navigate two spiral staircases leading into the cave's depths.
