Lava Tunnel and Mega Zipline Iceland Combo Tour
Soar above volcanic canyons, then descend into the earth on one unforgettable Icelandic adventure.
The Lava Tunnel and Mega Zipline Iceland Combo Tour pairs two of Iceland's most compelling natural experiences into a single, seamlessly scheduled half-day itinerary. From the adrenaline of open-air flight over geothermal landscapes to the quiet wonder of an ancient underground cave system, this tour covers the full spectrum of what Iceland's geology has to offer.
Beginning at the Mega Zipline Iceland in Hveragerdi, participants glide above a dramatic canyon known as Svartagljufur, with sweeping views of mountains, hot springs, and raw lava fields stretching to the horizon. The zipline experience is designed to be accessible for a wide range of fitness levels, making it suitable for first-timers and seasoned adventurers alike.
From there, the route leads to Raufarholshellir, one of Iceland's longest and most accessible lava tubes. Formed thousands of years ago as flowing lava cooled and hardened on the outside while molten rock drained away beneath, the tunnel preserves a striking record of volcanic activity. Unusual rock formations line the walls and ceiling throughout the guided walk.
The two venues are approximately 15 minutes apart by car, and the scheduling builds in a comfortable window between the zipline and the tunnel entry, allowing time for a brief rest or a light meal before the underground portion of the day begins.
