Caves of Hella

About

Guided tours every day at 10 am, 12 pm and 2 pm. All tours are in English. An hours drive from Reykjavik, next to the village Hella, there is a mystery to be discovered. Four man-made caves, and an unknown story behind them. Where the caves made by the Vikings or before the Viking Settlement? On the tour we will be exploring the mysterious caves and ancient carvings on the walls - such as beautiful crosses, runes and a Viking mask - while telling our forefathers stories about Iceland’s history. The caves are located on our family farm. We have been taking care of the caves for nearly 200 years. After the tour you can sign our guestbook, the biggest guestbook in Europe, located on the walls of the reception - instead of carving inscriptions on the walls of the caves as has been done for centuries. Don't miss out on this adventure, visit the Caves of Hella.
