Silfra Snorkeling - with underwater photos & Horseback riding

Snorkeling and horseback riding together create the perfect Icelandic outdoor adventure, combining the serenity of underwater exploration with the thrill of riding through breathtaking landscapes. Your day begins with snorkeling in Silfra, a freshwater fissure located in Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Silfra is one of the best dive sites in the world, where crystal-clear waters allow visibility of over 100 meters. You can choose to snorkel in a wetsuit, giving you the freedom to dive beneath the surface, or a drysuit, keeping you dry and afloat. Float between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which drift apart about 2 centimeters per year, and marvel at the natural beauty and geological wonders surrounding you.

After the snorkeling experience, you’ll return to Reykjavik for a scenic horseback riding tour with Laxnes Horses Rental. Ride a sturdy and friendly Icelandic horse along picturesque trails through valleys, across rivers, and up to panoramic viewpoints, including the enchanting Tröllafoss waterfall — a place steeped in folklore where trolls are said to bathe under the full moon. The ride lasts around two hours (or 1.5 hours in winter) and is suitable for beginners and experienced riders alike. This combination tour offers a complete outdoor experience, allowing you to explore Iceland’s pristine waters and rugged countryside in a single unforgettable day.
