Interesting, informative and exceeded my expectations.

Andrew was a great presenter. He was informative, entertaining and seemed genuinely interested in lava and sharing that with the small group we were part of. Thank you!

Fun & Educational

A fun and educational experience by Luis! It was much more interesting than I expected, and it was a nice change of pace to have an indoor activity during our trip. It’s only about 50 minutes so worth fitting in.

Nice way to spend an hour if it's raining outside in Iceland

If you need something to do inside that doesn't take a lot of your time, the Lava Show is the way to go. The guide was informative, you learn some interesting history, and the lava simulation is pretty cool.
