All of the above is computed from Volcano Express Iceland's own 1 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: volcanoexpress.is — same price there as here.
Google reviews of Volcano Express Iceland as a company — not of one specific tour.
My friend and I visited this today and we had such a great experience! The seat shakes back and forth, goes up in the air so your feet are no longer touching the floor, you feel the cool air from flying, and heat from the volcano eruption. The presentation is 15 minutes long which seems really short, however, the photography in the presentation is so amazing you feel like you're really there.

I actually did this on my last day in Iceland. I had just enough time to see the beautiful Harpa concert hall building on a short walk in a new neighborhood. The show was excellent! Beautiful photography and even a bit of a thrill. Great activity at a great value.

"Mixed feelings" is a good and honest expression to describe the experience. It feels new and interesting only for those who haven't experienced the more modern so-called 5D experiences. A little too much shaking and rattling, and a bit overpriced. The free display in the hall is somehow more exciting than the warm steamy cinema experience.

We intended to visit Harpa for the architecture and were delighted that the Volcano Express and experience was also there - we didn’t know it was! Thoroughly enjoyed the ride and the atmosphere created in the space. Buckle up as it gets bumpy in places, I reached out to my husband it took me by surprise that much! The motion and hot air blown into your face truly added a whole other level. The actual experience wasn’t that long - about 10-15 minutes. there is also an educational space outside where you can watch short films in your chosen language which we enjoyed too. At 2990 ISK (£18) per adult we thought it was borderline ok. But everything in this city is very expensive. They do need to be aware and not put people off from going! We were lucky, we visited and there were no crowds (12.30pm), as a couple there were only another 4 people there! But tbh there’s plenty of room on your seat it shouldn’t feel crowded. Best for - everyone! Loved this little surprise under Harpa 🌋 highly encourage you to go it was brilliant!!
