Everything you need to plan an amazing vacation to Iceland!
Raufarhólshellir is one of the most popular lava caves in Iceland. It’s about 40 minutes from Reykjavik. But even better, if you’re heading to Geysir on the Golden Circle, it’s less than 10 minutes out of your way. A couple of years ago, I wouldn’t have qualified that first sentence.

Today we decided to test out our Golden Circle Itinerary. We’ve been to all of these places before, but this was the day to see how the touring plan would work in practice! We covered a lot, so let’s get started. 1. Raufarholshellir lava cave
Ever since we ventured into Raufarhólshellir Lava Tube Cave on our own, we have been eager to explore a lava cave with a guide. Today, we got that chance with Laugarvatn Adventure. We chose a tour of Gjábakki Cave; the company offers other cave tours as well, but this cave is supposedly a little bit easier for children.
We left Hafnarfjörður and headed toward the Golden Circle area. Our first stop was the Onpower Geothermal Energy Exhibition. You will see the steam as you drive past on Route 1. The buildings are massive, but the Visitor’s Center is in the small “arrow” in the middle.
