The Inside the Volcano Tour visits Þríhnúkagígur, where a guided hike of about 3 km each way across a rocky lava field leads to the volcano’s crater. Participants use an open cable lift to descend about 120 m into the chamber and spend roughly 30 minutes exploring its floor with guides before returning by lift and hiking back. The operator describes the walk as moderate, rates it 2 out of 5 for difficulty, and includes safety gear, refreshments and a meal option.
