What to expect
The Volcano Express is one of the best things to do in Reykjavik. A cinematic volcano simulator inside the iconic Harpa Concert Hall. Strap in for an immersive indoor experience with dynamic motion seating, real heat effects, and stunning footage of Iceland's volcanic eruptions — as close as you'll ever get to an active eruption.
In addition to the exciting 10-minute ride, every ticket includes a pre-show area: Live eruption footage, four volcanic short films, an interactive eruption map, a live earthquake monitor, and the Instacrater photo experience — adding about 30 minutes of discovery before the main show.
Perfect for everyone visiting Iceland: Families, couples, friend groups, and solo travellers (ages 4+). Shows run every 15 minutes. Located on floor K2, Harpa Concert Hall, Austurbakki 2, central Reykjavík.
