Lava Show Reykjavík
Reykjavík
About
Lava Show Reykjavík is located in the vibrant Grandi Harbour District at Fiskislóð 73, 101 Reykjavík. This is the capital's home for the world's only live lava experience — the same award-winning show that originated in Vík, now brought to Reykjavík for visitors exploring the city. Real lava from the 1918 Katla eruption is superheated to 1,100°C (2,000°F) and poured into a custom showroom, recreating a volcanic eruption right in front of the audience. The Reykjavík venue offers both a Classic Experience and an upgraded Premium Experience with VIP perks. The Reykjavík showroom has a capacity of 118 seats for the Classic Experience. The Premium Lounge and Bar upstairs has 32 seats and includes a backstage tour, premium balcony seats, a welcome drink, and a gift-wrapped piece of lava. Founded by Júlíus and Ragnhildur after witnessing the 2010 Fimmvörðuháls eruption, Lava Show has earned Tripadvisor's "Best of the Best" designation and the 2025 Viator Experience Award. Google Reviews: 4.8 stars (4,252+ reviews). A free Grandi Shuttle runs daily 11:50–15:46 from three city-center stops to the venue, making it easily accessible without a car. The Grandi Harbour District is also home to other popular attractions including Whales of Iceland and FlyOver Iceland. The Grandi Experience bundle combines all three with free shuttle service. The venue includes a gift shop selling handcrafted lava products from the 1918 Katla eruption, and is available for private events and MICE bookings.
