Inside Volcano Day Tour - Thrihnukagigur Volcano

Interested in seeing how a volcano looks like on the inside?

This unique volcano tour, takes you literally inside a dormant volcano, through the top crater and to the bottom of its magma chamber, once filled with steaming hot lava. A unique opportunity to descend inside the magmatic chamber of a dormant Icelandic volcano.

The dormant Þríhnúkagígur volcano is a unique natural phenomenon. By putting up the necessary gear and equipment, a tour has been created that opens the door to a new world. And it really isn't that complicated to experience it, only a moderate 45-50 min. hike to the crater and then the guts to descend 120 meters/400 ft to the bottom of the crater in an open cable lift.

Distance Walked: Approximately 3 km (2 miles) each way. The walk usually takes around 45-50 minutes (depending on the people in the group). A guide will be with you at all times on the walk.
