Da sapere su questa attività

L'avventura inizia con il prelievo dall'hotel del centro di Reykjavik e il viaggio verso sud-ovest in direzione delle suggestive Blue Mountains (Bláfjöll).
Durante il viaggio, ascolterai un'introduzione affascinante al vulcano Thrihnukagigur, il sito in cui si svolgerà la tua esperienza sotterranea. Scopri come, dopo l'ultima eruzione di questa vetta dormiente 4.000 anni fa, la natura dell'esplosione lasciò il vulcano con una camera magmatica aperta e accessibile.
Dopo circa 30 minuti arriverai a Thrihnukagigur e, dopo una breve sessione introduttiva, inizierai l'escursione di un'ora sul cratere. L'escursione non sarà in salita, ma il terreno è ondulato e irregolare e adatto solo a camminatori con un livello medio o alto di allenamento. Si consiglia l'uso di scarpe da trekking.
Segui la guida a un ritmo sostenuto lungo il percorso di 3 km e, mentre cammini, ammira la vista sui campi lavici circostanti, punteggiati da coni vulcanici e fenditure da cui fuoriescono gas.
All'arrivo al cratere, riceverai un'altra introduzione sulla sicurezza, quindi indossa il casco e l'imbragatura forniti. Con altre due o tre persone, sali a bordo dell'ascensore aperto che scende nel cratere.
Prova il brivido della discesa per circa 120 metri nella gola del vulcano, passando tra pareti di roccia millenarie nelle viscere della Terra. Una volta in fondo, esci all'ascensore ed esplora la camera magmatica con la guida. Ammira l'incredibile arena naturale e la cupola rocciosa con il suo mosaico di colori creati dalle scottature e dalla combustione.
Mentre ti guardi attorno a bocca aperta, ascolta la descrizione incredibile dell'ultima eruzione del vulcano, e immagina la camera come doveva essere una volta, piena di una massa ribollente di lava incandescente.
Dopo circa 30 minuti all'interno del vulcano, sali in superficie e torna a piedi al veicolo. Rilassati durante il viaggio di ritorno a Reykjavik, dove il viaggio termina con il rientro in hotel.

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.
