The show was excellent. Neil was a great host. I would recommend this to anyone without hesitation, particularly those with an interest in geology and geography.

It was a wonderful and very informative show. Our narrator, Mariana, did an excellent job of making the show very interesting. The whole presentation was perfect. Could not possibly ask for anything more. Bravo to the show producers.

This activity could be better by explaining more about how volcanoes are formed. For the premium ticket, you get a balcony seat, a free drink from a selection of beers and wines and a sample of glass lava.

Have taken several family members to the Lava Show in Reykjavík and in Vik. Every single person, adult or child, has loved it and I never tire of seeing it again and always learn something new.

Awesome, a must go to when visiting Iceland. Great video depicting the knowledge behind Iceland and volcanos as well as physical encounter with lava. Samantha was great making the show fun and informative for us.
