About this experience

Twelve man-made caves have been discovered on the land of Ægissíða by Hella on the South coast of Iceland. On this one hour tour you will visit four of them in the company by a local guide that will tell you all the story's about them and people that made them. This historical site is with out a doubt Iceland's oldest still standing archaeological remains.

The wonders of the Caves of Hella include ancient crosses, wall carvings and carved seats.

Mystery surrounds the caves and for centuries people have wondered:

Are the caves the handiwork of the Celts?

Were the caves a place of ancient worship?

Caves of Hella offer a great opportunity to explore these historic caves in Iceland. Join us to discover the secrets they hold and experience the magical Underworld of the South.

The Caves are located by the town Hella, right next to Route 1 (the Ring Road), an approximately one hour drive from Reykjavik and a perfect add on to your road trip along the south coast of Iceland.
