Þríhnúkagígur is the only place on planet Earth where you can descend into a dormant volcano and safely explore its massive lava chamber. It is truly a one of a kind experience.

To be able to experience this wonder, all you need is the willingness to do a moderate 45–50 minute hike (to get to the crater) and the guts to descend 120 meters/400 feet to the bottom of the crater in an open cable lift. The hike to the volcano is an integral part of the tour, not only because of the breathtaking scenery, but also because it’s one of only two ways of getting to the base of the volcano

This ticket includes entrance and transfer service to Inside the Volcano.

Departures from BSÍ Bus Terminal are at 08:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, and 16:00.
Each transfer arrives at Inside the Volcano Base Camp about 30 minutes later.

Return transfers from Inside the Volcano depart as follows:

  • Guests departing BSÍ at 08:00 return to BSÍ around 13:15.
  • Guests departing BSÍ at 10:00 return around 15:15.
  • Guests departing BSÍ at 12:00 return around 17:15.
  • Guests departing BSÍ at 14:00 return around 19:15.
