Our visit to Raufarhólshellir was truly enjoyable. Initially hesitant due to young children, we took the chance and loved it! A unique experience exploring a lava tunnel below the Earth's surface. Highly recommended! 👏

Not too physically demanding, but still enough to be considered a hike. It was very short for the amount of money you pay unfortunately.
