Om denne aktiviteten

Begynn eventyret med å bli hentet ved hotellet sentralt i Reykjavík og reis sørvestover til de vakre Blåfjellene (Bláfjöll).
Under kjøreturen lytter du til en fascinerende introduksjon til Thrihnukagigur-vulkanen – stedet der den underjordiske opplevelsen vil foregå. Hør om hvordan denne sovende vulkanen hadde sitt forrige utbrudd for 4000 år siden, og om hvorfor eksplosjonens natur etterlot vulkanen med et åpent og tilgjengelig magmakammer.
Etter omtrent 30 minutter ankommer du Thrihnukagigur, der du etter en kort innføring begynner på en timelang gåtur til krateret. Turen går ikke i oppoverbakke, men terrenget er kupert og ujevnt, så den passer kun for vandrere i moderat eller god fysisk form. Det anbefales å bruke fjellstøvler.
Følg guiden i et jevnt tempo langs den 3 km lange stien. Mens du går, tar du inn utsikten over de omkringliggende lavafeltene, som er overstrødd med kjegleformede vulkanske steinformasjoner og gassventiler.
Når du kommer frem til krateret, får du enda en sikkerhetsorientering og tar på deg hjelm og klatreseler. Deretter går grupper på tre eller fire om bord i den åpne heisen og senkes ned i krateret.
Kjenn på gyset idet du senkes 120 meters ned i strupen på vulkanen, forbi tusener av år gamle steinvegger ned i jordens indre. Vel nede på bunnen går du av heisen og utforsker magmakammeret sammen med guiden. La deg begeistre av denne enestående naturlige arenaen og ta inn steinhvelvingens lappverk av farger skapt av skålding og forbrenning.
Mens du ser deg omkring i ærefrykt, hører du guiden fortelle interessante fakta om vulkanens forrige utbrudd og forestiller deg kammeret slik det en gang var, fylt opp av en sydende masse av brennhet lava.
Etter omtrent 30 minutter inne i vulkanen, stiger dere opp til overflaten og går tilbake til kjøretøyet. Slapp av på kjøreturen tilbake til Reykjavík, der du kjøres til hotellet og turen avsluttes.

Tour was great fun and educational. Recommend checking out National Geographic UTube on this volcano. Would also note site is quite a bit higher than Reykjavik so it's colder, windy and frequently wet. Dress accordingly, especially in non summer months.

This is definitely a once in a lifetime experience! My boyfriend and I went on this excursion in mid-August. Our tour guides were Harpa and Nina. Nina joined us down in the volcano. She shared information about the volcano and was more than willing to take countless pictures for everyone in our group using our own phones/cameras! Our group consisted of 7 people. After being picked up from our pick up location in the morning, we then transferred to another van. It was approximately a 30 minute drive to the destination. There we were able to use the restrooms and get some water before starting our 2 mile hike. The hike takes approximately 45 minutes to complete and was not too bad, there was a pathway to walk along. Once we reached the volcano, there was a house next to it. There we were again able to use the restrooms and have water, tea, and coffee. We were able to leave any bags we had with us in the house so we did not have to carry them with us into the volcano. After putting on the harnesses and helmets we were ready to descend into the volcano! Being inside the volcano was truly an amazing and memorable experience. Looking back at the pictures we took, it is hard to believe they are even real and that we were there! We got to spend about 40 minutes inside the volcano, walking around and taking pictures. Afterward, we went back into the house and had some soup. We did not get any sweets, but it is mentioned in the tour description that it is not a definite. There are also souvenirs available for purchase here. The prices are very reasonable, as compared to everything else being super expensive in Iceland. We bought two souvenir shirts which came out to be approximately 20 USD each. They also had other clothing items such as hats and fleeces as well as chocolate bars and books about the volcano. During our hike back our guides stopped at a small cave and let us quickly go inside and take some pictures.

This is fantastic tour and once in the life time we get this kind of opportunities. Those who visit Iceland must try this as well.

It is a unique experience with knowledgeable guides. However, the trek to the volcano is over a very rocky terrain, and being in Iceland, it rained. The interior of the volcano is strewn with rock and boulders and not well lit for exploration.

This was an excellent experience, unforgettable. The majestic colors of the magma chamber are like no others. The walk to the volcano was extremely long and the pace was quite brisk. Not fun :-. The equipment harness, bandana, helmet was appropriate. The safety of the workers was exceptional. The soup that we enjoyed after our 30 minutes in the volcano, homemade by the guides, was amazing - delicious and hot.
