Itinerary
Day 1
Meet at the cave entrance in Laugarvatn for a private guided cave visit and traditional Icelandic food tasting. Expect a 25–30 minute guided experience inside the cave with storytelling and sampling of traditional items.
Private Cave Visit & Icelandic Food Tasting
Meet your local guide at the cave entrance. The guide will lead a private 25-minute walkthrough of the Caves of Laugarvatn, share stories and archival photos about how people lived here, then serve a small tasting of traditional Icelandic items (flatbread with smoked lamb, dried fish with butter, fermented shark, coffee, milk, and a shot of Brennivín). The cave is reserved only for your group for the duration.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled start time and meet at the marked cave entrance 'Laugarvatnshellar' next to the small parking area to avoid delaying the private session.
- Wear sturdy shoes and a warm outer layer—the cave floor is uneven and the interior stays cool year-round, even in summer.
- Notify us in advance of any food allergies or dietary restrictions; the tasting includes smoked lamb, dried fish, dairy, and fermented shark.
