LAVA SHOW runs volcanoes & lava in South Coast, Reykjavík, starting from Vik, Reykjavík. We book them directly, so what you see here is their own availability and their own cancellation policy — at the same price you'd pay them.
“The award-winning Lava Show is the first and only live lava experience in the world with multiple innovation awards and recognition for its educational and cultural value. It's an immersive experience that recreates a volcanic eruption by superheating real lava up to a molten state and then pouring it into a showroom full of people. The audience can see, hear, smell and feel the intense heat of real lava from the safety of their seats. A must-see experience for everyone visiting Iceland.”

All of the above is computed from LAVA SHOW's own 2 product records, not from a questionnaire. Fleet size and typical group sizes are the figures a comparison table usually shows; Bókun does not carry them, so we would be guessing, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it in.
From the operator's own Bókun vendor record. The year is when the company's registration number was issued, which is the closest thing to a founding date that can be checked at skatturinn.is; the brand may be older or younger than the company. Their own site: lavashow.com — same price there as here.

An absolute must-see in Vík! We had an incredible time at the Lava Show! Our host, Louis, was phenomenal—he made the whole experience engaging, educational, and fun. The show is perfectly paced and consists of several stages. I especially loved the video segments about Iceland’s volcanic history; they provided such great context. But the real highlight was, of course, when the molten lava started flowing into the room. Feeling the heat and seeing it glow just a few meters away was breathtaking. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that I can’t recommend enough!

Great fun, seats full up quick and is at the back of a nice restaurant, easy parking a d easy to walk to from anywhere in vik. We did the extended tour and pre purchased lava, the extended tour is good but short. It gets very hot quickly ensure you can de later.

This was by FAR the highlight of my trip, super awesome and informative show!! This wasn't on my bucket list before coming to Iceland but it's definitely an unforgettable experience. I never thought I would get to see lava so close up ever, but here I am! HIGHLY recommend. Thank you so much!! :)

Might sound overrated, but this is indeed a 'must-see' when in Iceland and the next best thing to seeing a fresh lavaflow 'in the wild' (which, let's be honest, one's unlikely as an average tourist, especially from a distance of a few meters and without the dangers involved)! It's a real clever idea and concept, well thought out and executed and is fascinating, mesmerising and hugely informative and memorable! Yes, it is expensive (like most things in Iceland), but well worth it! In Vík, it's probably a smaller venue and somehow feels less 'touristy' (compared to the Reykjavik venue) and our showman, András, was a phenomenal guy - funny, slick, entertaining and pleasant. And the bonus: you can have a selection of great, tasty soups (and other simple dishes) on site/in the same building!

The Only Live LAVA SHOW in the World
No. We sell LAVA SHOW's tours at the price they set, through their own booking system, so the seat costs the same here as on their site. What you get here in addition is one checkout for every tour in your trip, whoever runs it, and one place to turn if plans change.
None of the 2 LAVA SHOW tours we sell includes a hotel pickup. Each tour page gives the meeting point — they start from Vik, Reykjavík.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start. The exact window is printed on every tour page and in your confirmation, and a refund goes back to the card you paid with.
Their departures we sell start from Vik, Reykjavík. Check the map on each tour page for the exact meeting point.
Their tours are guided in English, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, Hungarian, Turkish, Ukrainian and Lithuanian, according to their own product records. Where a tour is audio-guided rather than led by a person, the tour page says so.
4.9 out of 5 on Google from 2452 reviews of the company. That is the operator's score, not a rating of any one tour; our own guests' reviews of their tours, where we have them, are shown on this page and on the tour pages.
