Reykjavik: Lava Show Immersive Experience Entry Tickets

Highlights

Watch real molten lava heated to 1,100°C being poured live indoors, just meters away. It is the world’s only show where lava isn’t simulated, it’s real.
Feel the heat, hear the crackle, and see lava flow and cool as Lava Masters guide you through Iceland’s geology and the forces shaping the land of fire and ice.
Unlike Iceland’s vast lava fields formed thousands of years ago, this experience lets you witness volcanic power in real time—safely, up close, and year-round.
Upgrade to the premium experience for a welcome drink, balcony seats, access to the premium lounge, a backstage furnace tour, and a gift-wrapped piece of lava.
Fun fact: Around 30% of Iceland’s surface is made up of lava fields, formed by centuries of volcanic activity across the island.
