Ready for an Icelandic Treasure Off the Beaten Path?
Just a short drive from the city lies Raufarhólshellir—an ethereal lava tunnel crafted over 5,000 years ago. With Puffin Taxi, your private ride from Reykjavík (or surrounding areas) gets you right to the entrance, lets you explore at your own pace, and brings you safely back. No fuss, just wonder.
Experience the Ancient Lava Tube
-
What It Is: Raufarhólshellir is one of Iceland’s longest lava tubes, stretching roughly 1,360 m with widths up to 30 m and ceilings reaching 10 m high.
-
A Walk Through Time: Formed during the Leitahraun eruption, the tunnel is lined with fascinating textures, natural skylights, and, in winter, dramatic ice formations. After a conservation-focused renovation in 2017, a quarter of the tunnel now features walkways and lighting for easier and safer exploration.
-
Gigantic and Accessible: You may even drive over part of it—Route 39 crosses right atop the tunnel. Then you’ll walk beneath the earth’s crust into a volcanic artwork in motion.
