Fun, relaxing activity that’s great for a first day in Iceland. Johanna was funny and informative, and we loved the show. The lava was so cool (well, hot of course, but you know what I am saying.)

We did the premier visit which offered us a smaller lounge bar upstairs, small lava gist each and a higher seating view of the show, loved it, the video before the show was very informative and the show itself again very interesting and the host again very good, well worth the visit

Very enjoyable show. I recommend spending a couple bucks more for the enhanced seating upstairs although you will still enjoy yourself with regular seating. The advantage of the enhanced seating is a beverage is included and after the show you get to see how the lava is made.

Easy to find, loved the set up of the lounge! The balcony and stage were amazing. Samantha, the transplant from New York, was incredibly informative and entertaining. Everyone working there was pleasant and genuinely appeared to enjoy their jobs. A once in a lifetime experience!

I would highly recommend this tour, including the premium upgrade. With the upgrade, we got to sit on the higher level to see the lava show. We also had a private lounge at top and got to try on one of the suits the labs workers wear.
