In the Lava Show in Reykjavík, you can watch real, flowing lava up close in a controlled environment, as active volcanoes are both unpredictable and dangerous. When eruptions happen, it’s nearly impossible to get close to red-hot molten rock—until now.
At LAVA SHOW, we bring this thrilling experience to you in a safe, controlled environment. By superheating real lava and pouring it into the showroom, you can see, hear, smell, and feel the heat of molten lava just a few feet away!
A One-of-a-Kind, Unforgettable Experience
The Show Begins – Your experience starts with a warm welcome from our live host, who introduces the show and covers important safety details.
Volcanic History – Before the main event, enjoy a short but fascinating educational video on Iceland’s explosive volcanic past.
The Main Event – The moment you’ve been waiting for! Lava, heated to 1100°C (2000°F), flows into the showroom, filling the space with intense heat. From the comfort of your seat, you’ll watch as our lava expert manipulates the lava, explaining its mesmerizing transformation in real time.
