  • The only live LAVA SHOW in the world

     Getting up close and personal to real flowing lava is a bucket-list item for many. However, volcanoes are both dangerous and unpredictable and when they erupt you can rarely get anywhere close to red-hot lava. The LAVA SHOW solves this problem and truly makes it possible to safely get up close and personal to real lava.  

    LAVA SHOW is the only show of its kind in the world. By superheating real lava and then pouring it into a showroom full of people, it is a chance to see, smell, hear, and feel the intense heat that radiates from the red-hot lava.  An incredible and one-of-a-kind experience 

    LAVA SHOW is an incredible, unforgettable experience. First, the live host welcomes the guest, explains what’s about to happen and goes over the security details. Then a short educational video takes you through a journey of Icelandic volcano history. At last, it’s the highlight of the show, when the red-hot lava of 1100°C (2000°F) flows into the showroom. In an instant, the showroom heats up to a toasty temperature. In the safety of their seat just a short distance from the flowing lava, the audience watches as the lava flows into the room. Then, the lava host starts playing with the lava, manipulating it, while explaining what is happening. It truly is a sensational experience!

We recreate a volcano eruption by superheating real lava up to 1100°C (2000°F) and pouring it into a showroom full of people. It’s the only live lava show in the world and the only way to safely experience red-hot lava up close. Come feel the heat!

Please note

We advice people to get there at least 10 minutes before the show, get their bearings and check out our gift shop before the show.

It gets HOT in the showroom when the lava pours in so people are advised to remove some layers of clothing before the show starts. The show is a safe experience and the heat should not be an issue but pregnant women, people with infants, and people with cardiovascular diseases are recommended to sit in the second row and/or close to the exit just to be on the safe side.

Everyone is advised to to keep their safety goggles on at all times during the show when there is lava in the showroom – also and especially when it is cooling down and solidifying.
