Horse Riding & Snorkeling Day Tour

Horseback Riding – Þingvellir National Park- Silfra Fissure Snorkeling

This is the perfect combo adventure to meet pure-bred Icelandic Horses, and marvel at the underwater world of the Silfra Fissure.

We pick you up in Reykjavík, then head to the Laxnes Horse Farm to go for a trek on the hardy, sure-footed Icelandic horse. Whether you are a beginner or expert, old or young, these friendly horses, with their alert and willing nature are indeed a pleasure to ride in their natural surroundings.

Next, we drive you to Thingvellir National Park. The Silfra fissure is one of Iceland’s otherworldly scenes that is world famous for its heavenly shades of blue. You will snorkel between two tectonic plates through crystal clear glacial waters. Experience the clearest waters in the world! The glacial water originates from Langjökull (Long Glacier) and is naturally filtered through lava fields, resulting in some of the purest water on Earth,with an incredible visibility of up to 150 meters.
