Begin your evening by making your own way to Grandi harbour district where you will find the one-of-a-kind Lava Show. The show begins with a short welcome by the host and then a short educational video about Icelandic volcanism, the volcanoes close by - with special emphasis on the largest volcano eruptions in Icelandic history and the volcanic dangers surrounding the capital area. In order to recreate a miniature volcano eruption, real lava from the 1918 Katla eruption is superheated and once molten, it is poured it into a showroom full of people. As the audience sits safe in their seats yet only a few feet away from the flowing lava, it is mesmerising to see, hear, smell and feel the incredible heat that radiates from it. It truly is a sensational experience and completely different from everything else you've ever witnessed before. After the show, you are sure to see Iceland with different eyes and a newfound appreciation for nature!

After the magnificent experience at the Lava Show, it is time to head down to the Old Harbour, where the Northern Lights & City Cruise departs. On this thrilling winter cruise, you will search for the Aurora Borealis while enjoying views of Reykjavík’s illuminated skyline and landmarks, beautifully reflected on the water. When the Imagine Peace Tower is lit, we sail by to admire its radiant beam before turning our gaze to the northern skies. While many other tour operators may cancel when the forecast is not ideal - we don’t! We know that you may have only a few days to search for the lights and that the weather can change in mere minutes. We want to maximise your chances, and so we will always give it a go as long as conditions allow. Our sailing area is close to the shoreline and around small islands, offering a smooth, comfortable experience where the glow of the city and the wonders of nature meet!
