Overview

Twelve ancient man-made caves have been discovered on the land of Ægissíða by Hella on the South coast of Iceland. Four of them have now been open to the public on our guided tours. The historical site is Iceland's oldest still standing archaeological remains, some believe the caves to date even further back than the settlement of the Nordic Vikings.

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?

The caves are an historic landmark site where you will learn about hidden secrets and other untold stories from Iceland's history.

Join one of our local guides to discover the secrets our caves hold and experience the magical Underworld of the South.

The Caves are located right next to Route 1 (the Ring Road), an approximately hour drive from Reykjavik.
