This tour offers a comprehensive experience of two of the main attractions of Iceland: the Silfra tectonic fissure and the Northern Lights. Your day will start when you will drive from Reykjavik to Silfra (about 45 minutes). We will welcome you at Silfra, where you will get a detailed briefing of the snorkeling activity as well as the area. Silfra is a crack in the crust of the Earth that opened when the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates started drifting apart. The fissure is famous all over the world for the crystal clear, extremely pure water that fills it. You will swim in glacial water that has been filtered for centuries and that is the purest water you will ever drink (yes, you can drink it!). We will dress you up in top quality gear (wetsuit, undergarment, mask, snorkel and fins) and together we'll make our way to the entry platform. We will swim in the fissure for about 30 minutes, exploring the four main sections of Silfra (Big Crack, Silfra Hall, the Cathedral and the Lagoon). At the end of the snorkeling tour, we will make our way back to the parking lot, where we will help you get out of your gear and warm you up with chocolate and cookies. After the snorkeling tour, you will drive back to Reykjavik. Your Northern Lights hunt will start later in the evening, when you will make your way to the Northern Lights Observatory in Hafnarfjörður (about 20 minutes drive from Reykjavik). Here you will get detailed info about the Lights, how to chase them in the Icelandic night, how to photograph them and much more. This is the perfect starting point for your Northern Light hunt! At the Observatory, you will also have access to a unique indoor simulation of the Lights.

On this tour, you will experience the extreme temperatures that characterise Iceland. Start your day by making your way to Silfra, in the Thingvellir National Park. At Silfra, your guide will give you a detailed briefing of the tour and the area, and you will go on an exciting snorkeling adventure in the glacial water that fills the fissure between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Get ready to be fascinated and mesmerised by the crystal clear water and its unparalleled visibility. The water is so pure that you can drink it! Your guide will provide you with top quality gear, including a dry suit, a fleece undergarment, mask, snorkel and fins. You will be in the water for about 30 minutes, during which time you will explore the four parts of Silfra: Big Crack, the Hall, the Cathedral and the Lagoon. The water in Silfra is a steady 2-3°C. At the end of the tour, warm up with hot chocolate and cookies. After saying goodbye to your guides at Silfra, drive on for another 25 minutes to reach the luxurious Laugarvatn Fontana Spa. Fontana Spa is a newly renovated geothermal pool where you will experience a day of pampering. A natural geothermal spring powers the Spa, warming the water naturally and providing a natural environment for bathing. Here you can relax after your snorkeling experience and enjoy being warmed up by the heat of the Earth. The experience is beneficial for both the body and the soul. Fontana Spa has several outdoor pools, some steam rooms, a sauna and even a geothermal lake where you are welcome to take a dip. While at the Spa, enjoy a delicious buffet lunch on-site or visit the geothermal bakery and learn more about the old-fashioned way of making bread. Choose dates to check availability.

A visit to Iceland is not complete without witnessing one of the country's mighty glaciers. Join this small group glacier hiking tour and explore the power of glaciers in Iceland. Your guide is a qualified and experienced Icelandic mountain guide and will take you on this visit to Sólheimajökull glacier. Sólheimajökull is located on the South Coast of Iceland, near Skógarfoss waterfall. Sólheimajökull is between 8-11 kilometres in length and 1-2 kilometres in width. As with all the glaciers in Iceland, this glacier is rapidly receding, due to global warming. Sólheimajökull is a glacier outlet which originates from the mighty Mýrdalsjökull glacier. Mýrdalsjökull is the fourth biggest glacier in Iceland, covering 590 square kilometres. At it's tallest point, it is around 740 meters. Beneath Mýrdalsjökull rests the famous volcano, Katla. Katla has erupted roughly every 80 - 100 years. The last time Katla erupted was back in 1918. Your tour will start at Sólheimajökull parking lot. There, you will meet your guide. They will explain what you can expect from the day before you set off towards the glacier. From the parking lot to the base of the glacier, the walk is around 15-20 minutes. The trail is quite pleasant, and this is an excellent opportunity to take some photos of the glacier. You will stop at its base, where your guide will teach you some skills so that you can walk safely and comfortably on the ice. On this tour, you can expect to explore the mighty Sólheimajökull glacier. Your guide will go over the history of the glacier and explain the crevasses, seracs and other features. Your guide will also show you some of the most stunning places on the glacier, where you can look out on incredible views. You will spend roughly 3-4 hours on this tour. This is an introductory tour, so it is a relatively easy glacier hike which will be suitable for most people who are in good health. Check availability by choosing a date.

Join this private photography day tour from Reykjavik. Explore the Golden Circle in-depth and photograph the famous locations on the route. Your English-speaking guide is Icelandic and is highly knowledgable about the country, culture and nature of the island. The Golden Circle sights include Thingvellir National Park, Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfall. The route is named because these three locations are considered among the most beautiful and famous attractions to visit in Iceland, both in summer and winter. Thingvellir National Park has an important place in the hearts of the Icelandic people as the Icelandic parliament was formed here in the year 1000. Here, you can witness the incredible geology in Iceland and the effects of volcanic activity on the landscapes. Thingvellir lies on top of the two major tectonic plates, the Eurasian and American plates, which are separating about 2 centimetres every year. The result is evident in the canyon Almannagjá, where you can see how these forces are shaping the landscape, creating broad valleys like Thingvellir. Gullfoss waterfall is part of the river Hvítá. It is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland and is fed with water from Langjökull glacier, which can be seen from the edge of the waterfall. The Geysir geothermal area is next up and is best known for the famous Strokkur hot spring. Strokkur erupts roughly every 5-7 minutes. Its eruptions can reach up to 30 meters in the air, and the temperature of the water is more than 100 degrees celsius. It's a good idea to stand with your back to the wind when you are waiting for the next eruption. Otherwise, you might be in for a surprise shower when the water comes back down. On the way back from Geysir you will visit a waterfall which is considered more of a hidden gem in Iceland. Called the Faxi waterfall, it forms part of the Tungufljót river. The last stop before coming back to Reykjavik is Kerið crater, a 3000-year-old volcanic crater which has a small lake at its base. In winter, the lake freezes over and makes for a spectacular sight. The Golden Circle Sightseeing route is a must-see while you're in Iceland. Your experienced guide will help you to get the best possible shots on your camera. This tour is ideal for beginner, amateur or expert photographers. Choose dates to check availability. Book your private tour today!

A private photography day tour to the Snæfellsnes peninsula is a great way to explore the area in a small group. You will be travelling with a landscape photographer who will guide and assist you with your camera settings and compositions. Your guide will provide many helpful tips on improving your photography. Some people have called Snæfellsnes “Iceland in miniature” as it has most of the aspects that Iceland is famous for. These include beautiful mountains, rugged coastlines, sea stacks, volcanic craters, waterfalls, lakes, lava fields and a glacier. Your guide will take you in an anti-clockwise direction around the peninsula. A lot of the landscapes you will visit are lesser-known, hidden gems in Iceland. Visit these alongside the well-known sites on Snaefellsnes, and this is the ultimate photo tour of the area. As this is a private tour, you can also shape your itinerary by speaking directly with your guide. The Snæfellsjökull National Park is at the end of the peninsula with the beautiful Snæfellsjökull glacier towering above. On a clear day, you can see the glacier across the bay from Reykjavik. The black church at Búðir has become an iconic spot in Iceland. There are plenty of great opportunities to capture the fabulous contrast that the black colour gives against the startling environment behind it. The village of Arnarstapi is one of the most quaint locations in the area, with its small harbour and rugged coastline with sea stacks and arches. The small fishing village also has impressive views of the top of Snæfellsjökull glacier. Driving further past Arnarstapi, you will soon come to a deserted farm building called Dagverðará. It stands on the edge of a field with a small creek running next to it, making it a superb location for practising your minimalistic photo compositions. Next stop is the Lóndrangar sea stacks, best viewed from a hill on the coast called Svalþúfa. Djúpalón is another spectacular beach with strange rock formations, sea stacks and millions of pebbles on the shore instead of sand. Öndverðarnes is the westernmost point of Snæfellsnes. Svörtuloft is a nearby lighthouse on the edge of the cliff where the waves of the Atlantic Ocean crash against the cliffs. A natural arch and a stack can be seen in front of the lighthouse. Again, these are incredible positions for photographer lovers to practice a variety of different shots. Driving on to the north side of Snæfellsnes, you go past a couple of fishing villages and see the Svöðufoss waterfall on the right. The mountain Kirkjufell with the waterfall Kirkjufellsfoss is next on the itinerary. It is probably the most photographed mountain in Iceland and makes a perfect final stop on this photo tour. Don't miss out on this opportunity to capture the beautiful natural landscapes on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Choose dates to check availability.

On a winter night with clear or partly clear sky and weather permitting, we head out to some beautiful locations in South- or West Iceland, to search for the Northern Lights. This is a small group experience in a 4x4 truck, only up to 4 people on each tour. You should bring your camera and a tripod with you to capture your photos of the Aurora borealis and remember to bring fully charged batteries and enough memory cards for the night. I will also take pictures of you with the northern lights in the background and send them to you after the tour with no extra cost. Remember to dress according to weather, it can be cold standing outside in the Icelandic winter, waiting for the lights to show up. Normally the tour is 4 hours from the time I pick you up, until you come back again to your hotel. I will pick you up at your hotel, or the nearest Bus-stop, and will let you know few hours before the tour. Usually the best possibilities to see the Northern Lights are between 20:00 and 03:00 hours at night, and I plan in advance where the best conditions are according to weather forecast, cloud coverage and some interesting landscape and foreground, such as Thingvellir national park. I might have to change the plans if the weather conditions are not favorable, trying the day after instead if you are available and able to change plans. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee of seeing the Northern Lights, even though we try our best, and if I think there are little or no chances of seeing any Northern lights, I will cancel the tour before 16:00 hours on the day of the tour. In that case, you will get a refund for the tour.

Welcome to Iceland! You‘ve come this far, now all you have to do is make the most of it. To pack as much of Iceland into one day as comfortably possible, join our Golden Circle & Ice Cave with Snowmobiling tour. The name says it all, but read on regardless, it’s all a journey. Iceland’s Golden Circle needs little introduction as the famous stable of sites all visitors must see at least once. These sites are the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Thingvellir, the magnificent waterfall Gullfoss and Geysir, the geyser all the other geysers are named after. Thingvellir is not only a site of great historical importance as the original home of the old Viking parliament Althing, but also of great geological importance as this is where the Eurasian and North American continental plates meet. What you might not read in a guidebook is that Thingvellir is also a huge part of the Icelandic psyche, a place that embodies so much of what it means to be Icelandic. Thingvellir is extraordinarily beautiful as well as powerful in its understated lush greenery, its vast lake, its waterfalls, gorges, rifts, fissures and lava. It is also a very different place from one season to the next and even from one day to the next. The weather plays a huge role in the character of Thingvellir. Full of history and awe the tour heads to Geysir and its geothermal surroundings. It’s a magical place of raw natural forces, where bubbling hot springs put on an erupting show for visitors. Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most beloved waterfalls and its beautiful form combined with its sheer power is sure to touch something within everyone who stand in its presence. We’re not trying to be dramatic; we’re just stating facts here. Snowmobiling on a glacier in Iceland feels just as James Bond-esque as it sounds and it is a great way to meet a glacier, up, close and personal. The glacier in this case is Langjökull, a white snowy desert with glorious views. And to top it all off, the tour visits an actual ice cave to provide a literal insight into the approx. 500-year-old ice of Langjökull. Let us introduce you to these highlights of the unique wonders of Iceland.

Want to get away from it all for an easy hike and a relaxing bath in a natural hot spring in a canyon in the Icelandic highlands? Want to experience various sightseeing spots in one comfortable day, including a beautiful waterfall, a powerful hot spring and an extinct glacier? That’s what we thought. If you have just one day to spare, we highly recommend this revitalising tour. The Tour The tour begins at BSÍ bus terminal in Reykjavik and heads to the lush Húsafell area in West Iceland with stops at Deildartunguhver and the charming Hraunfossar lava waterfalls. After a lunch break at Húsafell the tour heads for its final destination at the canyon hot spring baths called Giljaböð where you can relax and meditate on your excursion before heading back to the city. The Sights Deildartunguhver is one of Europe’s most powerful hot springs and a sight to behold. Hraunfossar is a series of waterfalls that spirt out in a row from underneath a lava field. Húsafell is a lush area in the western part of Iceland and a favourite among Icelanders looking to escape the city for some greenery and good weather. The hike to the canyon baths includes a stop at Langifoss waterfall, a rare treat off the beaten path. Giljaböð is the highlight of this tour, a unique hot spring bath set in a beautiful canyon, undoubtedly a very authentic way to experience some of Iceland’s best features, its geology and geothermal water. The rustic and natural-looking facilities at Giljaböð (locker room, showers and walkways) are simple yet brand-new. Visitors can relax in three geothermal pools of varying temperatures while enjoying the spectacular views of the surrounding canyon, glaciers and mountains. The Hot Spring Canyon Baths & Waterfalls tour is what we call 10 hours well spent.

See the northern lights in all their glory or be treated to a whale of an experience in Reykjavik. Why take a guided tour to see the northern lights? The northern lights are a spectacular phenomenon, one that you truly have to see with your own eyes. They can sometimes be visible to some extent from the city but are never as powerful or otherworldly than when seen far away from any lights, in the darkness of the uninhabited wilderness. Our tour guides study the weather forecast, the aurora forecast and the conditions of various locations beforehand to ensure the best experience and we can assure you that the northern lights are truly worth the best possible conditions. Why this tour? Our Northern Lights with a Plan B tour is specifically designed for those who want to ensure they make the most of their night. The northern lights are a natural phenomenon and although our tour guides are experts in hunting them down, we can never guarantee a sighting. Our traditional northern lights tours offer vouchers for a second attempt but sometimes our guests only have that one night available in Reykjavik. That’s why you’ll be guaranteed another wonderful experience in case the northern lights departure is cancelled. The Plan B tour is a 30-40 minute guided tour of the Whales of Iceland Exhibition, a 25 minute northern lights film with time for Q&A, and a drink of your choice*! The Whales of Iceland Exhibition depicts life size replicas of the 23 whale species found in Icelandic waters, including a blue whale and a sperm whale, and yes, it’s a very large building. This is an experience that truly puts things into perspective. –This tour is a guaranteed night of new experiences! *White wine, red wine, beer or club soda. Please note that this tour is non-refundable. On the day of departure, we will contact you via email. If the northern lights tour is cancelled, we will activate our Plan-B - Whales of Iceland tour.

We recommend extra warm layers to buy more time outside taking photographs and gazing up at the lights. Our guides provide useful guidelines for photographing the northern lights, so have your Instagram account ready for some mind-blowing images. Waffles and hot drinks are available at an extra cost on the 21:00 and 22:00 departures. What to keep in mind Despite all our efforts, we cannot guarantee that you will see the aurora borealis.

Discover the little geyser, the hot springs and the fumaroles that speak of the geothermal activity in the area. Once you have enjoyed soaking in the healthy minerals of the pool, you will be given lunch (included in the tour price) before moving on to the Golden Circle route. There are three main sites on the Golden Circle, all of which we will visit on this tour. Begin with Gullfoss waterfall, one of the world's most beautiful waterfalls. Head on to witness an incredible geyser called Strokkur, which erupts every 6 minutes and can hurl boiling water up to 50 metres in the air. Finally, Thingvellir National Park awaits. Here you can witness the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates tearing apart. Thingvellir also holds significant historical importance, with many monumental events in Iceland having taken place at this location, including the founding of the national parliament (first in the world) in 930 A.D. Parliamentary sessions were held here for almost 900 years, until 1798. After your fun-packed day, you will return to the city of Reykjavik.

Join an incredible wetsuit snorkelling tour in one of the most fascinating locations imaginable, between continents. This tour is excellent for those who want an added thrill when visiting Iceland. You will start by meeting your guides at the location of the tour, the famous Silfra fissure. This part of Iceland was voted number 15 in the top snorkel and dive sites in the world. Silfra’s name translates to ‘silver.’ It got its name from the fact that it is filled with crystal clear water that sparkles like silver in the sunlight. The Silfra fissure is the meeting point of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. It is here that the two plates are slowly drifting apart. As the plates began drifting millennia ago, the space between them began to get broader and deeper. Through the ages, water from Langjökull glacier started to travel 60 km south. On its journey, each drop of this water spent at least a hundred years being filtered through lava rock. The result today is a fascinating underwater world with visibility of up to 100 m (33 ft). Before you enter the water, you will be fitted with a wetsuit and given a safety briefing by your guide. Your guide will also be able to tell you more about how the fissure was formed, what to expect when you’re in the water and the Thingvellir National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) that Silfra sits in. Once in the water, you will witness a true natural wonder. The clear waters hold underwater cliffs and incredible colours. The entire time you are in the water, you will be swimming between the continents. This is undoubtedly an incredible afternoon. Wetsuits provide much more freedom of movement when compared to drysuits. The wetsuits used in this tour are 6 mm in thickness, which isolates the body from the cold water. Some water will always get into a wetsuit, but the temperature of Silfra is a consistent 2–4 °C (36–39 °F) all year round. The water inside the wetsuit quickly warms up from your body temperature, meaning your swim will be comfortable. Wetsuits also make it possible to dive and swim deeper, rather than floating just on the surface when wearing a drysuit. You need to bring a bathing suit to wear underneath your wetsuit as you will get wet. If you would like to take this tour but be picked up from your accommodation instead of meeting on-site, select this version of the tour here. Snorkelling in Silfra is a genuinely unique experience and one that should not be missed. Check availability by choosing a date.
