Tour one of the longest lava tube caves in Iceland. Guided tours are every hour, on the hour. Platforms and pathways are maintained so it's fairly easy, but still a significant amount of walking is required. It's lit up inside so you can enjoy the beautiful vibrant colors of the lava, ranging from deep purple to bright orange and yellows to fiery reds.
