Overview
Add Iceland's largest lava cave to the Silver Circle route on this private 9.5-hour tour from Reykjavik. After a brief stop in Borgarnes, then Deildartunguhver, Reykholt, and Hraunfossar, you enter Vidgelmir — a lava tube formed in the same 900-year-old eruption that created the lava field you just walked past above ground. Your YFIR guide draws the connection. The cave's own specialist guide takes you through it. 1,500 metres of illuminated lava cave — stalactites, lava pillars, ice formations in winter. About one hour inside. Cold year-round (4°C): bring a warm layer. Helmet and headlamp provided on-site. Private tour from Reykjavik. Hotel pickup included.
