Private Cave Tour with Icelandic Food Tasting
This is a private experience. The cave will be reserved just for your group
Step into Iceland’s past with a private tour of the Caves of Laugarvatn. Just a short drive from Reykjavík, these historic caves were home to real Icelandic families less than a century ago.
On this private experience, the cave is all yours. One of our local guides will walk with you, tell stories, share old photos, and give you insight into how people lived, worked, and survived here using nature alone.
You’ll also get to enjoy a taste of tradition. This tour includes Icelandic treats like flatbread with smoked lamb, dried fish with butter, fermented shark, coffee, milk, and a shot of Brennivín. It’s a cozy, authentic moment in the heart of the Golden Circle.

With no other affordable housing the young couple made these caves their home. The new owner tells the story of the families that turned rock into home, planted food, and survived Icelandic winters. For family, for community, and for the continued endeavors of teaching people from all walks and ways about Icelandic history, these caves stand as an emblem of strength, survival, and simplicity.
Amazing tour and such an interesting location. The guides were both informative and entertaining. The scenery was spectacular. Short zip off the main road to other golden circle attractions. Highly recommend you add this to your day!
Very cool place. I really understood more about Icelandic people. The guide was nice, told interesting facts and stories and really seems to like what he is doing. Well worth a visit!
A great experience! 2 very friendly brothers run the tour. We showed on a whim and they fit us in right away. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable, and shared interesting stories about hidden people, the caves’ former inhabitants, the rock formations and design of the caves, and more! Highly recommended.
My friend and I spontaneously dropped by to see the cave. Wonderful Alexander gave us a super friendly tour with many details about the life of the original cave inhabitants.
Just went there and had an amazing time seeing a part of the histoty of the beautiful country we call Iceland. The guides were amazing and i would definitely come again!
