The Silfra Fissure is located in Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Once you arrive there, you will listen as your experienced certified PADI Dive Master provides a safety briefing. Then, you will receive all of the necessary equipment for snorkeling in Silfra, including neoprene hoods and gloves, a thermal undersuit, a drysuit, and of course mask, snorkel and fins. This equipment will keep you floating throughout your time in the fissure, as well as offering a protection against the cold glacier water. Once in the water, your eyes will meet the incredible shades of blue so prevalent in the fissure, as well as the natural underwater flora of canyon walls.

As you are swimming you will have the opportunity to move across continents, as you will be swimming between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which is one of Thingvellir’s most famous characteristics. You will meet Silfra Hall, which is the widest section on the fissure and then the majestic Silfra Cathedral, its deepest section. Even more, the stunning shallow oasis will be presented before your eyes at the end, “the Real Blue Lagoon”.

Upon exiting the water, you’ll be invited to warm up with hot chocolate with your friendly guide. After the tour is over you will receive the free GoPro underwater photos in your email.

You get the option to book a transfer from Reykjavik as an extra.

This tour offers a chance to explore Falljökull, a dramatically carved outlet of Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier. Highlights include a guided 3-hour hike on the ice, witnessing spectacular features like deep crevasses, vertical moulins (ice tunnels), and massive ice falls. Guests will see evidence of the glacier's recession and deformation of the bedrock, along with a glimpse of ancient blue ice. All necessary safety gear, including crampons and ice axe, is provided by a qualified glacier guide.

Join this guided glacier hike to explore the magnificent Falljökull (the "Falling Glacier"), an impressive outlet of the vast Vatnajökull ice cap in Southeast Iceland. You will meet your guide at the base in Höf (near Skaftafell) 20 minutes before departure.

After receiving all necessary equipment—crampons, helmet, and ice axe—you will take a shared 15-minute shuttle bus ride, followed by a 20-minute walk to reach the ice. This initial walk highlights the rapid retreat of the glacier, showing the newly exposed land and the surrounding moss line where the ice once stood.

Once on the ice, your guide will provide a safety briefing and teach you how to walk correctly with crampons. The hike is rated as not technically hard, but can be steep and rocky, requiring some physical strength. Over the 3-hour hike, you will navigate the dramatically carved ice landscape, viewing features such as deep crevasses (cracks caused by ice movement), smooth moulins (vertical shafts), and areas containing glacier mice (unique moss balls). The high elevation often provides beautiful, windy views over the surrounding mountains. Your guide will also explain the immense scale of Vatnajökull, which covers 9% of Iceland, and the serious impact of global warming on the world's glaciers.

The adventure begins with a 30-minute walk to the edge of the ice, noting the distance the glacier has receded. Once there, you will be fitted with all required safety equipment, including crampons for walking stability and a harness. On the glacier, your guide will lead you through the otherworldly landscape, sharing insights into its formation. You will see blue ice, which gains its color from compressed snow, and be able to look down into moulins, which are vertical ice shafts that can reach the base of the glacier. The glacier sits on top of the mighty Katla volcano, and your guide will point out the visible volcanic ash layers. On clear days, views may extend to the famous Eyjafjallajökull volcano. This experience provides an immersive and safe encounter with the immense, receding forces of Iceland’s glaciers.

This private tour combines a guided hike with the specialized activity of ice climbing on the Sólheimajökull glacier. Highlights include climbing a crevasse ice wall using safety ropes and twin ice axes, witnessing the dramatic crevasses and volcanic ash remnants on the ice, and exploring glacial features like moulins (ice tunnels).

Ropes are set up on a chosen ice wall, allowing you to safely use two ice axes to scale the vertical ice while secured by your harness. The remaining hike explores features like glacial tunnels (moulins) and areas covered with volcanic ash from the Katla volcano (which lies safely dormant beneath the ice). This experience provides a close look at the immense, dynamic forces that shape Iceland's glaciers.

Enjoy the amazing wonders of the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. You’ll be picked up from your hotel or Bus Stop for the hunt of a lifetime – Northern Lights hunting. See the northern lights dancing high up in the sky.

The Northern Lights are one of the major attractions in Iceland. Due to its high latitude, Iceland is just a few km away from the Arctic Circle – making it one of the places to view the northern lights.

Our guide will pick you up at the designated location in Reykjavik, and will take you to some of the best places to witness the northern lights.  

Make sure to dress up warmly for this tour, as Iceland’s cold winter winds can definitely make you feel cold. Hot chocolate will be provided while witnessing the northern lights. 

Join an expedition to the South Coast & hike on the Sólheimajökull glacier. You'll visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall, the majestic Skogafoss, the mighty waves of Reynisfjara beach, also known as The Black Sand Beach, and walk on top of Sólheimajökull.

Customize your Golden Circle Tour. We visit the famous Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir Geothermal Area and throw in some local favorites as well. Complete this tour by opting for Snorkeling, Snowmobiling or Horseback Riding.
