1.00I regret buying tickets for this show! It was lame, and I was embarrassed I booked it and wasted one of our precious nights in Iceland on it. The person who emceed had a thick accent that made him very difficult to understand., but that just made matters worse. There’s really nothing to the show. It is better suited for a group of elementary children. Viator, I have looked with you for many years and I’ve been happy across many countries, but I want my money back on this one.
Entertaining and...

4.00very interesting information & facts! Watching the actual lava come out and cool and very amazing! The actual lava part of the show is only a few minutes, I wish it were longer! Most of the show consists of a speech about Katla and a video, however, I did very much enjoy it. The lava restaurant was great too! Excellent hot chocolate and sandwich!
