Black Beach Tour on ATV & Lava Tunnel

Explore the wonders of Icelandic nature with a rush of adrenaline. Ride on the black volcanic sands followed by a visit to an astonishing lava tunnel.

Drive on a black volcanic sand beach by the blue waters of Atlantic Ocean on this one-hour QUAD tour. Afterwards, we'll drive from Þorlákshöfn to Raufarhólshellir – the Lava Tunnel – for an underground journey. Raufarhólshellir is one of the longest and best-known lava tubes in Iceland, nearly 1360 meters long! Inside, marvel at lava formations of multiple colors and shapes and at the furthest point from entrance you'll have the very rare chance to experience complete darkness for a few seconds.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price.

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.

Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
