Activity description

Explore the lava tunnels of Gjábakkahellir Cave on a caving excursion. Located in Thingvellir National Park, 40 km from Reykjavik, this lava tube was formed almost 9,000 years ago.

Enter the heart of the Golden Circle, a sightseeing tour of several of the country's must-see places, and discover Thingvellir National Park, one of Iceland's most visited sites. Meet your experienced guide at the entrance to the Gjábakkahellir cave, equip yourself with a harness, torch and helmet, then take the 364-metre-long underground passage offering magnificent panoramic views. You'll have plenty to see on your caving excursion!

You'll have the chance to admire the sumptuous red rocks and ice sculptures in winter during this 2-hour caving trip in the Gjábakkahellir cave. The cave is perfectly preserved, with beautiful lava formations. What's more, you'll have the chance to see some magnificent precious stones sparkling on the cave walls!

Discover a new world, a unique Icelandic setting hidden beneath your feet in Thingvellir National Park. This excursion is ideal for caving beginners and professionals in search of new landscapes during a stay in Iceland.

No technical rope skills or abseiling is required, making this experience accessible from the age of 5. You will, however, be required to bend, crouch and use your hands and feet throughout the activity.

Just an hour's drive from the centre of Reykjavik, you can discover the Gjábakkahellir cave on a 2-hour caving excursion in Thingvellir National Park!
