Practical info
Tips
- Arrive 15 to 20 minutes early, because seating is first come, first served except for Premium balcony seats. Showtimes depend on the date and appear in the booking engine; the show regularly sells out, so book ahead. Babies aged 0 to 1 enter free and sit on a parent's lap in the third row, near an exit; the show is in English with heat and sound that may overwhelm younger children. Vík is about 11 minutes by car from Reynisfjara, 58 minutes from Hvolsvöllur and 1 hour 40 minutes from Selfoss, and bus line 51 serves the village. Lava Show also operates a Reykjavík venue at Fiskislóð 73, so choose the one on your route. Pair it with Reynisfjara and the Vík page, or with the South Coast day tours.
