Description
Description
Spend a few hours exploring the magical Leiðarendi Cave with one of our experienced guides. There you’ll be able to learn more about the fascinating geological history of this volcanic area and see a different side of Iceland.
Please keep in mind that this tour is run only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
We’ll pick you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik and drop you around 150 meters from the cave. What we refer to as a cave is actually a lava tube under the ground. To gain access you’ll walk down a steep entrance. It is around 900 meters in length and formed more than 2,000 years ago from volcanic activity.
It’s quite dark down there, so you’ll get a helmet and a headlight to use so you can see better. There are tighter sections where you might need to crawl or crouch down. In general, though, it’s pretty comfortable.
When you are inside the lava tube, you’ll be able to take in all the stalactites and drip stalagmites which are really beautiful and unique. The eruption left minerals in the lava and as a result, you’ll see lots of different colors in the walls of the cave.
Your guide will be on hand the whole way to give you interesting information about the cave, how it was formed and a little more about the geology.
This trip is an awesome way to see the underground volcanic terrain of Iceland. Get in touch today to secure your spot.
You might also like to combine your trip to Leiðarendi Cave with a horse riding portion and turn it into a full day trip.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
