About this experience

This isn’t just a transfer - it’s part of the adventure. Your journey begins with a guided pick-up and a scenic drive to the harbor at Gamlarætt, followed by an exhilarating ride on a RIB boat along the dramatic western coast of Hestur Island.

Our boat is not only fast and stable - it brings you face-to-face with towering sea cliffs and rich birdlife that would otherwise be unreachable. You'll be fully equipped with warm thermal suits provided by the captain to keep you comfortable throughout the trip.

The highlight? A rare opportunity to sail into the world’s largest sea cave - Klæmintsgjógv - and experience a live concert inside this natural acoustic wonder. With up to 12 seconds of echo, the cave transforms music into something magical.

This is transportation elevated to an unforgettable experience - blending nature, thrill, and culture in one seamless journey.

Next, you’ll enter Klæmintsgjógv, the largest sea cave in the world, covering an astonishing 48,000 square meters. Inside this awe-inspiring natural cathedral, you’ll be treated to a live concert by a professional musician.

The cave’s acoustics are extraordinary, offering up to 12 seconds of natural echo. The musician skillfully adapts their performance to the space, creating a truly immersive and unforgettable soundscape.

This one-of-a-kind concert experience is a rare opportunity—an unforgettable journey into nature, music, and wonder. Highly recommended for all visitors seeking something extraordinary.
