Marvel over Iceland’s hidden underwater world on this freediving tour of Silfra ravine. This trip should not be missed by those who love snorkelling but want more freedom than a standard drysuit tour would allow. This tour begins in the carpark by Silfra in Þingvellir National Park; you can specify during booking if you would like to be picked up and dropped off. Þingvellir is one of Iceland’s most famous spots, being the only UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Icelandic mainland as it was the original site of what is now the world’s longest-running parliament. The geology of Þingvellir is of more interest to you, however. Located right between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, it has become riddled with ravines as they have pulled apart. Due to underground meltwater travelling through the porous lava rock from Langjökull glacier, all these ravines fill with water, which has been filtered for decades.  It is thus some of the cleanest and clearest in the world. You can drink it, and see for over 120 metres. Your guide will tell you all about your route and the safety requirements, before getting you in your wetsuit and providing you with your equipment. Once your group is ready, you will head to the staircase and enter the water. The first thing you’ll notice is that it is chilly; the second thing is that it's unbelievably beautiful. You’ll warm up as you swim through Silfra, diving to its depths and exploring its dramatic features. For about forty minutes, you’ll immerse yourself in this underwater world, with far more freedom and flexibility than other snorkelers and divers in their drysuits. Once you get out of the water, you’ll return to the car-park for some hot chocolate to warm up with. Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the underwater wonderland of Silfra.

Dive the crystal clear waters of Silfra and explore this underwater gem! This place is one of the best dive sites in the world and should not be missed by any adventure-seeking diver.  Silfra is located at the UNESCO world heritage site in Þingvellir National Park which is neither located on the Eurasian nor the American tectonic plates, but in a rift valley between the two. As these plates move, they pull apart the earth, creating cracks and fissures that are then filled with underground water from nearby glaciers. As the water flows from the glaciers, it gets filtered, and so when it reaches the fissure Silfra, it is so pure that the visibility can reach over 100 meters. On this tour, you decide whether you'll be picked up in Reykjavík or, if you are travelling the Golden Circle yourself, you meet your guides near Silfra fissure in Þingvellir National Park.  At the site, the dive guide will do a briefing about the dive and go over the equipment before entering the water. While diving in Silfra, the maximum allowed depth is 18 meters, and you cannot dive in any overhead environment. However, that does not take away anything from the experience or the beauty of the place.  During the dive, the guide will take professional photos of the experience but that if anything comes up during the dive, pictures might not be taken as the safety of the divers is the main priority. Once you've surfaced, you'll get hot drinks and snacks before you are driven back to Reykjavík or continue your Golden Circle sightseeing tour. Discover the blue, underground world of Silfra fissure and dive between two continents on this exciting tour. Check availability by choosing a date.

Venture the clear waters of Silfra fissure and dive between two continents before heading out to the deep blue seas in search of whales and wildlife in Faxaflói bay. If you want to have two essential Icelandic experiences on the same day, this is the tour combo for you.  Your journey commences at your designated pickup place in Reykjavík where a shuttle bus collects you for the first leg of your adventure. Within an hour's time, you will be at Þingvellir National Park, ready to gear up for the transparent waters of Silfra. The dive is undertaken in a dry suit and the water will be cold, so make sure to dress in warm thermals underneath. After a quick but thorough briefing, you will start your descent underneath the water’s surface to explore the otherworldly scenery below. Silfra is known as one of the top dive sites in the world, and diving in such a magical place is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Nothing can quite prepare you for the view from beneath the water. Colourful corals, unmatched rock formations, dancing vines and white sand all appear before you, amidst a crystal clear visibility of a water pure enough to gulp down.  Once two dives are completed, you will be driven back to Reykjavík’s Old Harbour for your next adventure of the day. Search for the cetacean of Faxaflói bay, explore the bay’s surrounding areas and learn about the places and landscapes on the horizon. For approximately three hours, you will search for whales in the open seas, but whale watching in Iceland boasts a success rate surpassing 90%. Orcas, fin whales, dolphins, blue whales and sperm whales are all likely candidates to appear, so pull out your camera and get ready for a close encounter with these magnificent and intelligent creatures. After you return to shore early in the evening, you can continue exploring the downtown or catch your ride back to your accommodation to enjoy the rest of your night.  Don't miss out on this fantastic Icelandic water combo of diving between two continents before meeting the whales of Faxaflói bay.

Embark on an underwater adventure in Iceland by joining a scuba diving tour that visits the shipwreck Sigurjón HF 210. If you want to enjoy a unique experience within Iceland’s capital, then get your scuba gear on and join this exciting excursion.  Your adventure begins as you meet up with your local guide in Reykjavík City. You will be fully equipped with an insulating diving suit and scuba diving gear, as well as being informed of all necessary safety regulations needed for the exploit ahead. The vessel which you will be visiting sank in 1992, between two small islands just outside of Reykjavík. Since the depth of the ocean here is only 12-24 metres (40-80 feet), depending on the tide, an open water certificate suffices―as opposed to more advanced levels of diving certifications.  You will begin by making the short and scenic RIB boat ride up to where the wreck is located, enjoying the views of the many islets of Faxaflói Bay, such as Lundey, Viðey, Engey and Þerney. During the summer season, puffins nest in many of these islands, meaning you might just get the additional pleasure of glimpsing these adorable creatures. Once you have arrived at the location of the wreck, it’s time to descend underneath the surface of the ocean and explore the forgotten world below. The ship itself is in prime condition, except that the front of its bridge has collapsed, giving the whole scene a haunting and otherworldly allure. Although the level of visibility can never be fully guaranteed, on most days it is excellent, providing a stunning underwater view as you swim past the fish circling the sunken historical monument, where colourful corals grow along the vessel's muddy deck.  Your knowledgeable guide will happily answer all of your questions about the shipwreck, as well as the islands and wildlife that you will encounter during your adventure. Once you have emerged from the water, you will be brought back to the harbour to enjoy a much-deserved cup of hot chocolate.  Don’t miss out on this incredible underwater exploit in Iceland’s, diving under the surface of the sea to explore a sunken shipwreck.

Pack two activities into one day with this scuba diving and horse-riding combination tour. Those who want to immerse themselves into Iceland’s spectacular nature without missing out on a second of adventure shouldn’t miss this opportunity. Your day begins when your guides pick you up from downtown Reykjavík, then drive to Þingvellir National Park, where the dive site is. This National Park has more than just awe-inspiring underwater worlds; it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its history, being the original site of the world’s longest-running parliament. It is also located right between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, in the middle of the Mid-Atlantic Rift. The movement between these plates causes tension on the landscape, and tears fissures open through the lava fields. As there is a huge amount of water flowing underground here, trickling through the pores of lava rock after melting from Langjökull glacier, it emerges in these ravines as spring water. Silfra is one such ravine. Because of the subterranean filtration the water goes through before it reaches Silfra, it is some of the clearest and cleanest in the world. It is drinkable, and the visibility can often exceed 120 metres. For this reason, it is regularly voted one of the top five dive sites in the world. When you arrive at Silfra, your guides will brief you on the location, get you into your drysuit, and lead you into the water. The dramatic plunging depths, the intensity of the blues, and the fact that you are literally diving between the continents will consume your mind for the entire tour. You’ll marvel over Silfra Hall and Cathedral, before cruising through the underwater gardens that make up the Silfra Lagoon to the exit. After getting out, you’ll have a short walk back to the carpark, where your guides await with hot chocolate and cookies. Next, it is time for the horse-ride. You will travel back along the road you came, to the beautiful and verdant Mosfellsdalur Valley which sits just outside of Reykjavík. Here, you will head over to the local horse-farm and meet your riding guides.  Unlike the scuba dive, where you need qualifications and experience to join, you can be a complete horse-riding novice and still enjoy this tour. As soon as you meet the Icelandic horses, you’ll see why they are perfect for beginners; they are small, sturdy, curious, friendly, and difficult to spook. If you are more experienced, however, worry not; you’ll have the opportunity to do more than just a gentle trot. Mosfellsdalur is a beautiful place to ride through, with river systems, surrounding mountains, and quaint, sparse buildings. There is a lot of history here too; it was home to Iceland’s only Nobel Prize winner, Halldór Laxness, who won the prize for literature in 1955. After enjoying your ride, you can hop back into your bus, and you’ll be whisked back to Reykjavík. Don’t miss this combination of scuba diving and horseback riding.
